Riley wrote: “The plain meaning was: ‘ I expect you to continue that which I began, both to do and to teach and I expect you to resist as I resisted; to teach both privately and publicly as I did in the streets and from house to house, to testify likewise to Jews and to Greeks repentance toward God and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ, for these are the fundamentals! ’ ”
Riley: „Tähendus oli selge: ’ Ma loodan, et te jätkate seda, mida mina alustasin, nii tegevuse kui ka õpetamisega, ja ma loodan, et te peate vastu, nagu mina vastu pidasin; et te õpetate eraviisiliselt ja avalikult, nagu tegin seda mina tänavatel ja majast majja, et te tunnistate nii juutidele kui ka kreeklastele patukahetsust Jumala ees ja usku meie Issandasse Jeesus Kristusesse, sest need on põhilised asjad! ’ ”
