12 Epaphras, who is one of you⁺ and a servant {doulos} of Christ (the Anointed One) Jesus (YHWH saves), sends you⁺ greetings. He is always wrestling in prayer for you⁺, so that you⁺ may stand mature (complete) and fully assured in the full will of God {Theou}. 13 For I testify about him that he goes to great pains for you⁺ and for those at Laodicea and Hierapolis. 14 Luke (from Lucania), the beloved {agapētos} physician, and Demas send you⁺ greetings. 15 Greet the brothers (and sisters) in Laodicea, as well as Nympha and the church {ekklēsian} that meets at her house. 16 After this letter {epistolē} has been read among you⁺, make sure that it is also read in the church {ekklēsia} of the Laodiceans, and that you⁺ in turn read the letter from Laodicea. 17 Tell Archippus: “See to it that you complete the ministry {diakonian} you have received in the Lord {Kyriō}. 18 This greeting is in my own hand—Paul (humble). Remember my chains. Grace be with you⁺ [Amen.]. Colossians 4:12-18, Berean Annotated Bible. Public domain.
