¹¹ And Jesus who is called Justus greets you. These are the only ones of the circumcision among my coworkers for the kingdom of God, and they have been a comfort to me.

² So when Peter went up to Jerusalem, the circumcised believers^[a] criticized him,^(A)

²⁴ and so do Mark, Aristarchus, Demas, and Luke, my coworkers.^(A)

Salutation

¹ Paul, a prisoner of Christ Jesus, and Timothy our brother,

To our beloved coworker Philemon,^(A)

¹⁰ There are also many rebellious people, idle talkers and deceivers, especially those of the circumcision;^(A)

Final Greetings and Benediction

⁷ Tychicus will tell you all the news about me; he is a beloved brother, a faithful minister, and a fellow servant in the Lord.^(A)

³ Yes, and I ask you also, my loyal companion,^[a] help these women, for they have struggled beside me in the work of the gospel, together with Clement and the rest of my coworkers, whose names are in the book of life.^(A)

One in Christ

¹¹ So then, remember that at one time you gentiles by birth,^[a] called “the uncircumcision” by those who are called “the circumcision”—a circumcision made in the flesh by human hands^(A)—

⁷ On the contrary, when they saw that I had been entrusted with the gospel for the uncircumcised, just as Peter had been entrusted with the gospel for the circumcised^{(A) 8} (for he who worked through Peter making him an apostle to the circumcised also worked through me in sending me to the gentiles),

⁶ But God, who consoles the downcast, consoled us by the arrival of Titus,^{(A) 7} and not only by his arrival but also by the consolation with which he was consoled about you, as he told us of your longing, your mourning, your zeal for me, so that I rejoiced still more.
