“And Jesus, which is called Justus, who are of the circumcision. These only are my fellowworkers unto the kingdom of God, which have been a comfort unto me.”
Epaphras, who is one of you, a servant of Christ Jesus, greets you, always struggling on your behalf in his prayers, that you may stand mature and fully assured in all the will of God — Epaphras (founder of the Colossian church, 1:7) 'struggles' (agonizomai, wrestles) in prayer for them. His intercession is intensive: 'always' and 'on your behalf.' His prayer-goal is their maturity and assurance in God's will. Prayer-labor is his apostolic work.
