Colossians 4:12

Inasmuch as many have undertaken to compile an account of the things that have been fulfilled among us,

Now I urge you, brothers, by our Lord Jesus Christ and by the love of the Spirit, to strive together with me in your prayers to God for me,

just as you learned it from Epaphras, our beloved fellow slave, who is a faithful servant of Christ on our behalf,

For this purpose I also labor, striving according to His working, which He works in me in power.

For I want you to understand how great a struggle I have on your behalf and for those who are at Laodicea, and for all those who have not seen my face in the flesh,

and with him Onesimus, our faithful and beloved brother, who is one of you. They will inform you about the whole situation here.

Epaphras, my fellow prisoner in Christ Jesus, greets you,

And let perseverance have its perfect work, so that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.
