12. Greetings from Epaphras, another member of your group and a servant of Christ Jesus. He always prays fervently for you, asking God to make you stand firm, as mature and fully convinced Christians, in complete obedience to God's will.
13. I can personally testify to his hard work for you and for the people in Laodicea and Hierapolis.
14. Luke, our dear doctor, and Demas send you their greetings.
15. Give our best wishes to the brothers and sisters in Laodicea and to Nympha and the church that meets in her house.
16. After you read this letter, make sure that it is read also in the church at Laodicea. At the same time, you are to read the letter that the brothers and sisters in Laodicea will send you.
17. And say to Archippus, “Be sure to finish the task you were given in the Lord's service.”
18. With my own hand I write this: Greetings from Paul. Do not forget my chains!May God's grace be with you.
