Colossians 4:10-17
Lexham English Bible
10 Aristarchus, my fellow prisoner, greets you, and Mark, the cousin of Barnabas (about whom you received instructions—if he should come to you, welcome him), 11 and Jesus who is called Justus. These are the only ones who are fellow workers for the kingdom of God from the circumcision, who have been a comfort to me. 12 Epaphras, who is one of you, greets you, a slave of Christ[a] always struggling on behalf of you in his prayers, that you may stand mature and fully assured[b] in all the will of God. 13 For I testify to him that he is working hard[c] on behalf of you and those in Laodicea and those in Hierapolis. 14 Luke the physician, our dear friend, greets you, as does Demas. 15 Greet the brothers in Laodicea, and Nympha and the church in her[d] house. 16 And whenever this letter is read among you, see to it[e] that it is read also among the Laodicean church, and that you also read the letter from Laodicea. 17 And tell Archippus, “Direct your attention to the ministry that you received in the Lord, in order that you may complete it.”

New International Version
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)
