1 So then, my brothers, beloved and longed for, my joy and crown, so stand firm in the Lord, beloved ones.

2 I entreat Euodias, and I entreat Syntyche, to mind the same thing in the Lord.

3 And I also ask you, true yoke-fellow, together help with them, women who struggled along with me and with Clement in the gospel, and the rest, fellow-workers with me, whose names are in the Book of Life.
