2 to Apphia, our sister; to Archippus, a worker with us; and to the church that meets in your home.
3 Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
4 I remember you in my prayers. And I always thank my God for you.
5 I hear about the love you have for all God’s holy people and the faith you have in the Lord Jesus.
6 I pray that the faith you share will make you understand every blessing that we have in Christ.
7 My brother, you have shown love to God’s people. You have made them feel happy. This has given me great joy and comfort.
8 There is something that you should do. And because of your love in Christ, I feel free to order you to do it.
