Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ, by the will of God, and Timothy our brother,

Whenever I pray for you I am continually thanking God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ

(since I heard of your faith in Christ Jesus and your love to all the saints)

as you learned it from Epaphras, our dearly loved fellow slave. He is a faithful minister of Jesus Christ in your behalf,

As then you have received Jesus Christ, your Lord, in him live your lives;

And whatever you do, whether in word of in deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God our Father through him.

Aristarchus, my fellow prisoner, salutes you, and Marcus, the cousin of Barnabas (about whom you received instructions; if he comes to you, make him welcome), and Jesus surnamed Justas.
