12 (A)Epaphras, who is one of you, a bondservant of Christ, greets you, always (B)laboring fervently for you in prayers, that you may stand (C)perfect and [a]complete in all the will of God. 13 For I bear him witness that he has a great [b]zeal for you, and those who are in Laodicea, and those in Hierapolis. 14 (D)Luke the beloved physician and (E)Demas greet you. 15 Greet the brethren who are in Laodicea, and [c]Nymphas and (F)the church that is in [d]his house.

Closing Exhortations and Blessing

16 Now when (G)this epistle is read among you, see that it is read also in the church of the Laodiceans, and that you likewise read the epistle from Laodicea. 17 And say to (H)Archippus, “Take heed to (I)the ministry which you have received in the Lord, that you may fulfill it.”

18 (J)This salutation by my own hand—Paul. (K)Remember my chains. Grace be with you. Amen.
