For I want you to know how great a struggle I have for you, and for those in Laodicea, and for those who have not met me face to face.

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

Give my greetings to the brothers and sisters who are in Laodicea and to Nympha and the church that meets in her house.

And after you have read this letter, have it read to the church of Laodicea. In turn, read the letter from Laodicea as well.
