for he loveth our nation, and himself built us our synagogue.

It is right for you to do this for him, because he is a friend to our nation, and himself has put up a Synagogue for us.

διοτι αγαπα το εθνος υμων, και την συναγωγην αυτος ωκοδομησεν εις ημας.

For he loveth our nation, and he hath built us a synagogue.
