Epaphras was deeply concerned about fellow believers in Colossae, for from Rome the apostle Paul wrote them: “Epaphras... sends you his greetings, always exerting himself in your behalf in his prayers, that you may finally stand complete and with firm conviction in all the will of God. ” ​ — Colossians 4: 12.
Epafras hoolis väga oma usukaaslastest Kolossas, sest apostel Paulus kirjutas neile Roomast: „Teile saadab tervitusi Epafras,... kes alati pingutab ennast teie eest palvetes, et te püsiksite lõpuni täielikud ja kindlalt veendunud kõiges Jumala tahtes ”.
