¹¹ Jesus, who is called Justus, also greets you. These are the only ones of the circumcision who are fellow workers for the kingdom of God. They have been an encouragement to me. ¹² Epaphras, who is one of you, a servant^[a] of the Messiah^[b] Jesus, sends you his greetings. He is always wrestling in his prayers for you, so that you may stand mature,^[c] completely convinced of the entire will of God. ¹³ For I can testify on his behalf that he has a deep concern for you and for those in Laodicea and in Hierapolis.
