² And to Apphia, our sister, and to Archippus, our brother in God's army, and to the church in your house:

⁵ And say a kind word to the church which is in their house. Give my love to my dear Epaenetus, who is the first fruit of Asia to Christ.

²⁵ But it seemed to me necessary to send to you Epaphroditus, my brother, who has taken part with me in the work and in the fight, and your servant, sent by you for help in my need;

¹⁷ Say to Archippus, See that you do the work which the Lord has given you to do.

¹⁵ Give my love to the brothers in Laodicea and to Nymphas and the church in their house.

¹⁹ The churches of Asia send their love to you. So do Aquila and Prisca, with the church which is in their house.

³ Be ready to do without the comforts of life, as one of the army of Christ Jesus.

⁴ A fighting man, when he is with the army, keeps himself free from the business of this life so that he may be pleasing to him who has taken him into his army.
