Final Greetings

Tychicus will tell you (A)all about my activities. He is a beloved brother and faithful minister and fellow servant[a] in the Lord. I have sent him to you for this very purpose, that you may know how we are and that he may encourage your hearts, and with him (B)Onesimus, our faithful and (C)beloved brother, who is one of you. They will tell you of everything that has taken place here.

10 (D)Aristarchus my fellow prisoner greets you, and Mark (E)the cousin of Barnabas (concerning whom you have received instructions—(F)if he comes to you, welcome him), 11 and Jesus who is called (G)Justus. (H)These are the only men of the circumcision among my fellow workers for the kingdom of God, and (I)they have been a comfort to me. 12 (J)Epaphras, who is one of you, a servant of Christ Jesus, greets you, always (K)struggling on your behalf in his prayers, that you may stand (L)mature and fully assured in all the will of God. 13 For I bear him witness that he has worked hard for you and for those in Laodicea and in Hierapolis. 14 (M)Luke the beloved physician greets you, as does (N)Demas. 15 Give my greetings to the brothers[b] at Laodicea, and to Nympha and (O)the church in her house.
