12 Epaphras,(A) who is one of you(B) and a servant of Christ Jesus, sends greetings. He is always wrestling in prayer for you,(C) that you may stand firm in all the will of God, mature(D) and fully assured. 13 I vouch for him that he is working hard for you and for those at Laodicea(E) and Hierapolis. 14 Our dear friend Luke,(F) the doctor, and Demas(G) send greetings. 15 Give my greetings to the brothers and sisters at Laodicea,(H) and to Nympha and the church in her house.(I)

16 After this letter has been read to you, see that it is also read(J) in the church of the Laodiceans and that you in turn read the letter from Laodicea.

17 Tell Archippus:(K) “See to it that you complete the ministry you have received in the Lord.”(L)

18 I, Paul, write this greeting in my own hand.(M) Remember(N) my chains.(O) Grace be with you.(P)
