Epaphras sends greetings. He is one of you. He serves Christ Jesus. He is always praying hard for you. He prays that you will hold on tightly to all that God has in mind for us. He prays that you will keep growing in your knowledge of what God wants. He also prays that you will be completely sure about it.

Epaphras sends you greetings. Together with me, he is a prisoner because of Christ Jesus.

Tychicus will tell you all the news about me. He is a dear brother. He is a faithful worker. He serves the Lord together with us.

So he had to be made like people, fully human in every way. Then he could serve God as a kind and faithful high priest. And then he could pay for the sins of the people by dying for them.

Moses was faithful in everything he did in the house of God. In the same way, Jesus was faithful to the God who appointed him.

That’s the reason I have sent Timothy to you. He is like a son to me, and I love him. He is faithful in serving the Lord. He will remind you of my way of life in serving Christ Jesus. And that agrees with what I teach everywhere in every church.

Point out these things to the brothers and sisters. Then you will serve Christ Jesus well. You will show that you’ve grown in the truths of the faith. You will show that you’ve been trained by the good teaching you’ve obeyed.

“ His master replied,‘ You have done well, good and faithful slave! You have been faithful with a few things. I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master’s happiness!’

Now I want to say something about virgins. I have no direct command from the Lord. But I give my opinion. Because of the Lord’s mercy, I give it as one who can be trusted.

Are they serving Christ? I am serving him even more. I’m out of my mind to talk like this! I have worked much harder. I have been in prison more often. I have suffered terrible beatings. Again and again I almost died.

Follow the lead of one another because of your respect for Christ.

I hope to send Timothy to you soon if the Lord Jesus allows it. Then I will be encouraged when I receive news about you.I have no one else like Timothy. He will truly care about how you are doing.All the others are looking out for their own interests. They are not looking out for the interests of Jesus Christ.But you know that Timothy has proved himself. He has served with me like a son with his father in spreading the good news.

But I think it’s necessary to send Epaphroditus back to you. He is my brother in the Lord. He is a worker and a soldier of Christ together with me. He is also your messenger. You sent him to take care of my needs.

You have heard me teach in front of many witnesses. Pass on to people you can trust the things you’ve heard me say. Then they will be able to teach others also.

“ Suppose a master puts one of his slaves in charge of the other slaves in his house. The slave’s job is to give them their food at the right time. The master wants a faithful and wise slave for this.

Those who have been given a trust must prove that they are faithful.

But this is not true of my servant Moses. He is faithful in everything he does in my house.
