For I bear him record, that he hath a great zeal for you, and them [that are] in Laodicea, and them in Hierapolis.
Note 8 at Col. 4:13: Epaphras had a great zeal for the spiritual welfare of the Colossians as well as those from Laodicea and Hierapolis (see BACKGROUND in the INTRODUCTION TO THE EPISTLE OF PAUL TO THE COLOSSIANS, p. 1182). Laodicea and Hierapolis were cities in Phrygia near to Colosse. Laodicea was northwest of Colosse and south of the river Lycus. About six miles northeast of Laodicea was Hierapolis.
