10 Aristarchus, my fellow-captive, greets you, and so does Mark, the cousin of Barnabas, concerning whom you received commands (if he comes to you, welcome him), 11 and Jesus, the one being called Justus— the ones being from the circumcision[a] (these alone are fellow-workers for the kingdom of God, who proved-to-be[b] a comfort[c] to me). 12 Epaphras greets you— the one from-among you, a slave of Christ Jesus always struggling[d] for you in his prayers in-order-that[e] you might stand mature[f] and having been fully-assured in all the will of God. 13 For I testify concerning him that he has great pain[g] for you, and the ones in Laodicea, and the ones in Hierapolis. 14 Luke, the beloved physician, greets you, and Demas.

15 Greet the brothers in Laodicea, and Nymphas and the church at her house. 16 And when this letter is read among you, cause that it also be read in the church of the Laodiceans, and that you also read the letter from Laodicea. 17 And say to Archippus— “See-to the ministry which you received in the Lord, in order that you may be fulfilling it”.
