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 always thank my God when I mention you in my prayers,
5 because 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 may make you understand every blessing we have in Christ.
7 I have great joy and comfort, my brother, because the love you have shown to God’s people has refreshed them.
8 So, in Christ, I could be bold and order you to do what is right.
