13. For I give solemn eidus for him that he has toiled much for you and for the ones in Laodicea and for the ones in Hieraopolis.

14. Lukas, the beloved physician, sends you Drishat Shalom, and Demas.

15. Drishat Shalom to the Achim b'Moshiach in Laodicea and to Nymphas and the Brit Chadasha kehillah at her bais.

16. And whenever this iggeret ([hakodesh] holy epistle) is read before you, make sure also that it is read in the Moshiach's Brit Chadasha Kehillah of the Laodiceans, and also you should read the iggeret [hakodesh] of the Laodiceans.

17. And say to Archippus, "Give attention to the avodas kodesh ministry which you received in Adoneinu, that you fulfill it."

18. This is my handsigned drishat shalom greeting, SHA'UL. Remember my sharsherot (prison chains). Chen v'Chesed Hashem be with you. [T.N. When Rav Sha'ul wrote Romans there were four Messianic Jews with him. Here he speaks of three.]
