Romans 16:8

Greet Ampliatus, my dear [friend] in the Lord.

also [greet] the church in their house. Greet Epenetus my dear [friend], who is {the first convert} of Asia for Christ.

So then, my beloved and greatly desired brothers, my joy and crown, thus stand firm in the Lord, dear friends.

We know that we have passed over from death to life because we love the brothers. The one who does not love remains in death.
