³ Give my greetings to Priscilla and Aquila [Acts 18:2, 18, 26], ·who work together with me [^Lmy coworkers] in Christ Jesus ⁴ and who risked their own ·lives [neck] ·to save [^Lfor] my life. I am thankful to them, and [^Lnot only I, but] all the Gentile churches are thankful as well. ⁵ Also, greet for me the church that meets at their house.

Greetings to my dear friend Epenetus, who was the ·first person in Asia to follow Christ [^Lfirstfruit of Asia for Christ]. ⁶ Greetings to Mary, who worked very hard for you. ⁷ Greetings to Andronicus and Junia [^CJunia is probably a woman’s name, though not certainly], my ·relatives [or fellow Jews], ·who were in prison with me [and fellow prisoners].
