And tell Archippus, "Be sure to finish the task you were given in the Lord's service."

I have thought it necessary to send to you our brother Epaphroditus, who has worked and fought by my side and who has served as your messenger in helping me.

Take your part in suffering, as a loyal soldier of Christ Jesus.

A soldier on active duty wants to please his commanding officer and so does not get mixed up in the affairs of civilian life.

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.

The churches in the province of Asia send you their greetings; Aquila and Priscilla and the church that meets in their house send warm Christian greetings.

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