^12-13 Epaphras, another member of your Church, and a real servant of Christ, sends his greeting. He works hard for you even here, for he prays constantly and earnestly for you, that you may become mature Christians, and may fulfil God’s will for you. From my own observation I can tell you that he has a real passion for your welfare, and for that of the churches of Laodicea and Hierapolis.

¹⁴ Luke, our beloved doctor and Demas send their best wishes.

¹⁵ My own greetings to the Christians in Laodicea, and to Nymphas and the congregation who meet in her house.
