Greet Ampliatus, whom I dearly love in the Lord.
And if you greet only your brothers, what more are you doing than anyone else? Even the pagans do that, don’t they?
Greet also the community that meets in their house. Greet Epaenetus whom I dearly love, who is the first fruit in Asia for Messiah.
Greet Andronicus and Junia, my kin and fellow prisoners who are well known among the emissaries. They were in Messiah before me.
Greet Urbanus, our fellow worker in Messiah, and Stachys whom I dearly love.
Therefore, my brothers and sisters whom I love and long for, my joy and crown—stand firm in the Lord in this way, my loved ones.
We know that we have passed from death to life, because we love our brothers and sisters. The one who does not love remains in death.
