Salute Amplias, my beloved in the Lord.
We know we have crossed from death to life, because we love the brotherhood; he who has no love [for his brother] remains in death.
So then, my brothers, for whom I cherish love and longing, my joy and crown, this is how you must stand firm in the Lord, O my beloved.
Also, salute the church that meets in their house. Salute my beloved Epaenetus, the first in Asia to be reaped for Christ.
and if you only salute your friends, what is special about that? do not the very pagans do as much?
Salute Andronicus and Junias, fellow-countrymen and fellow-prisoners of mine; they are men of note among the apostles, and they have been in Christ longer than I have.
Salute Urbanus, our fellow-worker in Christ, and my beloved Stachys.
