This went on for two years, so that all the people who lived in the province of Asia, both Jews and Gentiles, heard the word of the Lord.

From Peter, apostle of Jesus Christ--- To God's chosen people who live as refugees scattered throughout the provinces of Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia.

It said, "Write down what you see, and send the book to the churches in these seven cities: Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamum, Thyatira, Sardis, Philadelphia, and Laodicea."

There he met a Jew named Aquila, born in Pontus, who had recently come from Italy with his wife Priscilla, for Emperor Claudius had ordered all the Jews to leave Rome. Paul went to see them,

Paul stayed on with the believers in Corinth for many days, then left them and sailed off with Priscilla and Aquila for Syria. Before sailing from Cenchreae he had his head shaved because of a vow he had taken.

He began to speak boldly in the synagogue. When Priscilla and Aquila heard him, they took him home with them and explained to him more correctly the Way of God.

I send greetings to Priscilla and Aquila, my fellow workers in the service of Christ Jesus;

they risked their lives for me. I am grateful to them---not only I, but all the Gentile churches as well.

I send greetings to Priscilla and Aquila and to the family of Onesiphorus.

Greetings also to the church that meets in their house. Greetings to my dear friend Epaenetus, who was the first in the province of Asia to believe in Christ.

Greetings to Philologus and Julia, to Nereus and his sister, to Olympas and to all of God's people who are with them.

Give our best wishes to the believers in Laodicea and to Nympha and the church that meets in her house.

and the church that meets in your house, and our sister Apphia, and our fellow soldier Archippus:
