Salute the brethren who are at Laodicea, and Nymphas, and the church that is in his house.
And the church which is in their house. Salute Epenetus, my beloved: who is the firstfruits of Asia in Christ.
For a great door and evident is opened unto me: and many adversaries.
And to Appia, our dearest sister, and to Archippus, our fellow soldier, and to the church which is in thy house:
For I would have you know, what manner of care I have for you and for them that are at Laodicea, and whosoever have not seen my face in the flesh:
For I bear him testimony that he hath much labour for you, and for them that are at Laodicea, and them at Hierapolis.
And when this epistle shall have been read with you, cause that it be read also in the church of the Laodiceans: and that you read that which is of the Laodiceans.
