So it is, brother. May I delight with you in the Lord! Refresh my heart in Christ.

But also, at once, prepare a lodging for me. For I am hoping, through your prayers, to present myself to you.

Greet Epaphras, my fellow captive in Christ Jesus,

May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Amen.
