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

Therefore we also, from the day that we heard, cease not to pray for you, and to ask that you may be filled with the knowledge of his will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding,

knowing that you will receive from the Lord the recompense of the inheritance. You serve Christ the Lord;

praying also at the same time for us, that God will open to us a door of utterance to declare the mystery of Christ, for which also I am bound,

Tychicus will inform you of all things relating to me, who is a beloved brother, and faithful minister, and fellow-servant in the Lord,

with Onesimus the faithful and beloved brother, who is of you; they will tell you of all things here.

Epaphras, who is of you, a servant of Christ Jesus, salutes you, always striving for you in prayers that you may stand perfect and complete in all the will of God.
