Quotes
- “I have greatly rejoiced with you in our Lord Jesus Christ, because ye have followed the example of true love [as displayed by God], and have accompanied, as became you, those who were bound in chains, the fitting ornaments of saints, and which are indeed the diadems of the true elect of God and our Lord; and because the strong root of your faith, spoken of in days long gone by, endureth even until now, and bringeth forth fruit to our Lord Jesus Christ, who for our sins suffered even unto death.”
- “The deacons be blameless before the face of His righteousness, as being the servants of God and Christ.”

Polykarp von Smyrna (altgriechisch Πολύκαρπος ὁ Σμυρναῖος Polykarpos ho Smyrnaios, deutsch ‚Polykarp der Smyrner‘; * um 69; † um 155 in Smyrna) war im 2. Jahrhundert Bischof von Smyrna in Kleinasien (heute Izmir in der Türkei). Er wird zu den apostolischen Vätern gezählt. Der Name Polykarp bedeutet: „der viel Frucht Bringende“. Polykarps Lebensdaten sind nicht genau gesichert. Der Überlieferung zufolge soll er zum Zeitpunkt seines Todes 86 Jahre alt gewesen sein. Wahrscheinlich wurde er im Jahr 155 von den Römern hingerichtet. Er wird auch „Zerstörer der heidnischen Götter“ genannt.
