Timothy my fellow worker greets you, and so do Lucius and Jason and Sosipater, my kinsmen.
As for Titus, he is my partner and fellow worker among you; as for our brethren, they are messengers of the churches, a glory to Christ.
Indeed, true companion, I ask you also to help these women who have shared my struggle in the cause of the gospel, together with Clement also and the rest of my fellow workers, whose names are in the book of life.
For we are God’s fellow workers; you are God’s field, God’s building.
Greet the brethren who are in Laodicea and also Nympha and the church that is in her house.
Greet Prisca and Aquila, my fellow workers in Christ Jesus,
who for my life risked their own necks, to whom not only do I give thanks, but also all the churches of the Gentiles;
also greet the church that is in their house. Greet Epaenetus, my beloved, who is the first convert to Christ from Asia.
The churches of Asia greet you. Aquila and Prisca greet you heartily in the Lord, with the church that is in their house.
since we heard of your faith in Christ Jesus and the love which you have for all the saints;
We ought always to give thanks to God for you, brethren, as is only fitting, because your faith is greatly enlarged, and the love of each one of you toward one another grows ever greater;
Eph. 1:15 “For this reason I too, having heard of the faith in the Lord Jesus which exists among you and your love for all the saints,”
For God is not unjust so as to forget your work and the love which you have shown toward His name, in having ministered and in still ministering to the saints.
Now I urge you, brethren (you know the household of Stephanas, that they were the first fruits of Achaia, and that they have devoted themselves for ministry to the saints),
that you also be in subjection to such men and to everyone who helps in the work and labors.
I rejoice over the coming of Stephanas and Fortunatus and Achaicus, because they have supplied what was lacking on your part.
For they have refreshed my spirit and yours. Therefore acknowledge such men.
For this reason we have been comforted. And besides our comfort, we rejoiced even much more for the joy of Titus, because his spirit has been refreshed by you all.
The Lord grant mercy to the house of Onesiphorus, for he often refreshed me and was not ashamed of my chains;
Having confidence in your obedience, I write to you, since I know that you will do even more than what I say.
At the same time also prepare me a lodging, for I hope that through your prayers I will be given to you.
