Give my greetings to all who are God's people because of Christ Jesus. The Lord's followers here with me send you their greetings.
From Paul and Timothy, servants of Christ Jesus. To all God's people who belong to Christ Jesus at Philippi and to all your bishops and deacons.
From Paul, chosen by God to be an apostle of Christ Jesus. To God's people who live in Ephesus and are faithful followers of Christ Jesus.
To God's church in Corinth. Christ Jesus chose you to be his very own people, and you worship in his name, as we and all others do who call him Lord.
Titus went to Jerusalem with me. He was a Greek, but still he wasn't forced to be circumcised.
If you greet only your friends, what's so great about this? Don't even unbelievers do that?
Then, because you belong to Christ Jesus, God will bless you with peace that no one can completely understand. And this peace will control the way you think and feel.
