Greet my beloved Epaenetus, who is the first convert to Christ from [the west coast province of] Asia [Minor]. 6 Greet Mary, who has worked so hard for you. 7 Greet Andronicus and [a]Junias, my kinsmen and [once] my fellow prisoners, who are held in high esteem [b]in the estimation of the apostles, and who were [believers] in Christ before me.
