The 31. Sermon.
COLOSS. 4. V. 12 to the end. 12 Ephaphras the servant of Christ, which is one of you, saluteth you, and always striveth for you in prayers, that ye may stand perfect and full in all the will of God. 13 For I bear him record that he hath a great zeal for you, and for them of Laodicea, and them of Hierapolis. 14 Luke the beloved Physician greeteth you, and Demas. 15 Salute the brethren which are of Laodicea, and Nymphas, and the Church which is in his house. 16 And when this Epistle is read of you, cause that it be read in the Church of the Laodiceans also, and that ye likewise read the Epistle written from Laodicea. 17 And say to Archippus, Take heed to the ministry, that thou hast received in the Lord, that thou fulfil it. 18 The salutation by the hand of me Paul. Remember my bands. Grace by with you, Amen.
