ArchippusJesus
Serving othersFaithfulness and loyalty

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

16 After this letter has been read among you, make sure that it is also read in the church of the Laodiceans, and that you in turn read the letter from Laodicea.

Tell Archippus: “See to it that you complete the ministry you have received in the Lord.”

18 This greeting is in my own hand—Paul. Remember my chains. Grace be with you.
