At the end of the same letter to the Church in Colossae, it is noted that Epaphras is "one of them" and that he sends "greetings" ({{Bibleref|Colossians|4:12|NIV}}) from his current location to the recipients of the letter. There is a similar refrain in Paul's letter to Philemon, where a person of the same name passes on his "greetings" to Philemon ({{Bibleref|Philemon|23|NIV}}). Douglas Moo, in his commentary about Colossians, writes this about Epaphras: "Little is known about him, though we can infer that he was a native of Colossae and that he was perhaps converted by Paul himself during the apostle's ministry in Ephesus. The mention of a co-worker at this point in a Pauline epistle is unusual, and the strength of Paul's endorsement of him is also striking (note also 4:12-13)."[2]{{New Testament people}} References1. ^{{cite book | title=The Greek New Testament | publisher=Deutsche Bibelgesellschaft United Bible Societies | year=2007 | location=Stuttgart | pages=685, 695 & 740 | isbn=9783438051103}} 2. ^{{cite book | title=The Letters to the Colossians and to Philemon | publisher=William B.
