⁵ Also give my greetings to the church that meets in their home.

Greet my dear friend Epenetus. He was the first person from the province of Asia to become a follower of Christ.

¹⁵ Please give my greetings to our brothers and sisters^[a] at Laodicea, and to Nympha and the church that meets in her house.

² and to our sister Apphia, and to our fellow soldier Archippus, and to the church that meets in your^[a] house.

Paul’s Final Greetings

¹⁹ The churches here in the province of Asia^[a] send greetings in the Lord, as do Aquila and Priscilla^[b] and all the others who gather in their home for church meetings.

¹⁵ You know that Stephanas and his household were the first of the harvest of believers in Greece,^[a] and they are spending their lives in service to God’s people. I urge you, dear brothers and sisters,^[b]

²⁰ For where two or three gather together as my followers,^[a] I am there among them.”

⁴ They have kept themselves as pure as virgins,^[a] following the Lamb wherever he goes. They have been purchased from among the people on the earth as a special offering^[b] to God and to the Lamb.

Greetings

¹ This letter is from John, the elder.^[a]

I am writing to Gaius, my dear friend, whom I love in the truth.

¹⁸ He chose to give birth to us by giving us his true word. And we, out of all creation, became his prized possession.^[a]

² For I know how eager you are to help, and I have been boasting to the churches in Macedonia that you in Greece^[a] were ready to send an offering a year ago. In fact, it was your enthusiasm that stirred up many of the Macedonian believers to begin giving.
