10 Aristarchus my fellow prisoner saluteth you, and also Mark, Barnabas’ sister’s son (concerning whom ye received instructions that if he come unto you, receive him),

11 and Jesus who is called Justus, who are of the Circumcision. These only are my fellow workers for the Kingdom of God, who have been a comfort unto me.

12 Epaphras, a servant of Christ who is one of you, saluteth you, always laboring fervently for you in prayers, that ye may stand perfect and complete in all the will of God.

13 For I bear him record that he hath a great zeal for you and for those who are in Laodicea and those in Hierapolis.

14 Luke, the beloved physician, and Demas greet you.

15 Salute the brethren who are in Laodicea, and Nymphas and the church which is in his house.

16 And when this epistle is read among you, cause that it be read also in the church of the Laodiceans, and likewise read the epistle from Laodicea.

17 And say to Archippus, “Take heed to the ministry which thou hast received in the Lord, that thou fulfill it.”

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)
