Greet Ampliatus, my dear friend whose faith is in the Lord.
If you greet only your friends, what's so great about that? Don't even unbelievers do that?
Greet the church that meets in their home. Greet my dear friend Epaenetus, who was the first person in Asia to have faith in Christ.
Greet my relatives Andronicus and Junias, who were in jail with me. They are highly respected by the apostles and were followers of Christ before I was.
Greet Urbanus, who serves Christ along with us. Greet my dear friend Stachys.
Dear friends, I love you and long to see you. Please keep on being faithful to the Lord. You are my pride and joy.
Our love for each other proves that we have gone from death to life. But if you don't love each other, you are still under the power of death.
