12-13. Epaphras, who is one of you, says hello. What a trooper he has been! He’s been tireless in his prayers for you, praying that you’ll stand firm, mature and confident in everything God wants you to do. I’ve watched him closely, and can report on how hard he has worked for you and for those in Laodicea and Hierapolis.
14. Luke, good friend and physician, and Demas both send greetings.
15. Say hello to our friends in Laodicea; also to Nympha and the church that meets in her house.
16. After this letter has been read to you, make sure it gets read also in Laodicea. And get the letter that went to Laodicea and have it read to you.
17. And, oh, yes, tell Archippus, “Do your best in the job you received from the Master. Do your very best.”
18. I’m signing off in my own handwriting—Paul. Remember to pray for me in this jail. Grace be with you.
