²² And one thing more: Prepare a guest room for me, because I hope to be^(A) restored to you in answer to your prayers.^(B)

²³ Epaphras,^(C) my fellow prisoner^(D) in Christ Jesus, sends you greetings. ²⁴ And so do Mark,^(E) Aristarchus,^(F) Demas^(G) and Luke, my fellow workers.^(H)

²⁵ The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit.^(I)

¹⁰ My fellow prisoner Aristarchus^(A) sends you his greetings, as does Mark,^(B) the cousin of Barnabas.^(C) (You have received instructions about him; if he comes to you, welcome him.) ¹¹ Jesus, who is called Justus, also sends greetings. These are the only Jews^[a] among my co-workers^(D) for the kingdom of God, and they have proved a comfort to me. ¹² Epaphras,^(E) who is one of you^(F) and a servant of Christ Jesus, sends greetings. He is always wrestling in prayer for you,^(G) that you may stand firm in all the will of God, mature^(H) and fully assured. ¹³ I vouch for him that he is working hard for you and for those at Laodicea^(I) and Hierapolis. ¹⁴ Our dear friend Luke,^(J) the doctor, and Demas^(K) send greetings. ¹⁵ Give my greetings to the brothers and sisters at Laodicea,^(L) and to Nympha and the church in her house.^(M)

¹⁶ After this letter has been read to you, see that it is also read^(N) in the church of the Laodiceans and that you in turn read the letter from Laodicea.

¹⁷ Tell Archippus:^(O) “See to it that you complete the ministry you have received in the Lord.”^(P)

¹⁸ I, Paul, write this greeting in my own hand.^(Q) Remember^(R) my chains.^(S) Grace be with you.^(T)

⁷ I have fought the good fight,^(A) I have finished the race,^(B) I have kept the faith. ⁸ Now there is in store for me^(C) the crown of righteousness,^(D) which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day^(E)—and not only to me, but also to all who have longed for his appearing.^(F)

Personal Remarks

⁹ Do your best to come to me quickly,^{(G) 10} for Demas,^(H) because he loved this world,^(I) has deserted me and has gone to Thessalonica.^(J) Crescens has gone to Galatia,^(K) and Titus^(L) to Dalmatia. ¹¹ Only Luke^(M) is with me.^(N) Get Mark^(O) and bring him with you, because he is helpful to me in my ministry.

²² The Lord be with your spirit.^(A) Grace be with you all.^(B)
