12 Epaphras, who is one of yourselves, a bondservant of Jesus Christ, sends greetings to you, always wrestling on your behalf in his prayers, that you may stand firm--Christians of ripe character and of clear conviction as to everything which is God's will. 13 For I can bear witness to the deep interest he takes in you and in the brethren at Laodicea and in those at Hierapolis. 14 Luke, the dearly-loved physician, salutes you, and so does Demas. 15 Christian greetings to the brethren at Laodicea, especially to Nymphas, and to the Church that meets at their house. 16 And when this Letter has been read among you, let it be read also in the Church of the Laodiceans, and you in turn must read the one I am sending to Laodicea. 17 And tell Archippus to discharge carefully the duties devolving upon him as a servant of the Lord. 18 I Paul add with my own hand this final greeting. Be mindful of me in my imprisonment. Grace be with you. Colossians 4:12-18, Weymouth New Testament. Public domain.
