7 just as you learned it from ^kEpaphras our beloved fellow servant.¹ He is a faithful minister of Christ on your² behalf 8 and has made known to us your ^llove in the Spirit.

12 Epaphras, who is one of you, a servant of Christ Jesus, greets you, always ^qstruggling on your behalf in his prayers, that you may stand ^rmature and fully assured in all the will of God. 13 For I bear him witness that he has worked hard for you and for those in Laodicea and in Hierapolis.
