Colossians 4:13

HierapolisLaodicea
Serving others

11 Jesus, who is called Justus, also sends greetings. These are the only Jews among my fellow workers for the kingdom of God, and they have been a comfort to me.

12 Epaphras, who is one of you and a servant of Christ Jesus, sends you greetings. He is always wrestling in prayer for you, so that you may stand mature and fully assured in the full will of God.

For I testify about him that he goes to great pains for you and for those at Laodicea and Hierapolis.

14 Luke, the beloved physician, and Demas send you greetings.

15 Greet the brothers in Laodicea, as well as Nympha and the church that meets at her house.
