Salute the brethren which are of Laodicia, and salute Nymphas, and the congregation which is in his house.
Likewise greet all the company that is in their house. Salute my well beloved Epenetes, which is the firstfruit among them of Achaia.
For a great door and a fruitful is opened unto me: and there are many adversaries.
¶ I would ye knew what fighting I have for your sakes and for them of Laodicia, and for as many as have not seen my person in the flesh,
I bear him record that he hath a fervent mind toward you, and toward them of Laodicia and them of Hierapolis.
And when the pistel is read of you, make that it be read in the congregation of the Laodicians also: and that ye likewise read the pistel of Laodicia.
and to the beloved Appia, and to Archippus our fellow soldier, and to the congregation of thy house.
