For I desire to have you know how greatly I struggle for you, and for those at Laodicea, and for as many as have not seen my face in the flesh;

You also once walked in those, when you lived in them;

Servants, obey in all things those who are your masters according to the flesh, not just when they are looking, as men pleasers, but in singleness of heart, fearing the Lord.

Walk in wisdom toward those who are outside, redeeming the time.

For I testify about him, that he has worked hard for you, and for those in Laodicea, and for those in Hierapolis.
