¹⁸ HERE IS MY GREETING IN MY OWN HANDWRITING—PAUL.

Remember my chains.

May God’s grace be with you.

³ Remember those in prison, as if you were there yourself. Remember also those being mistreated, as if you felt their pain in your own bodies.

²² May the Lord be with your spirit. And may his grace be with all of you.

²¹ Some people have wandered from the faith by following such foolishness.

May God’s grace be with you all.

²¹ HERE IS MY GREETING IN MY OWN HANDWRITING—PAUL.

²⁵ May God’s grace be with you all.

¹⁵ Everybody here sends greetings. Please give my greetings to the believers—all who love us.

May God’s grace be with you all.

⁸ So never be ashamed to tell others about our Lord. And don’t be ashamed of me, either, even though I’m in prison for him. With the strength God gives you, be ready to suffer with me for the sake of the Good News.

⁷ So it is right that I should feel as I do about all of you, for you have a special place in my heart. You share with me the special favor of God, both in my imprisonment and in defending and confirming the truth of the Good News.

¹⁷ HERE IS MY GREETING IN MY OWN HANDWRITING—PAUL. I DO THIS IN ALL MY LETTERS TO PROVE THEY ARE FROM ME.
