10 Aristarchus, my fellow prisoner, salutes you; and Marcus, Barnabas’ cousin (concerning whom you received the commandment: ‘If he comes to you, receive him.’);

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

12 Epaphras, the servant of Christ (who is one of you) greets you and always contends for you in prayers - that you may stand perfect and full in all the will of God.

13 For I bear witness of him, that he has a great zeal for you and for those of Laodicea and those of Hierapolis.

14 Luke, the beloved physician, greets you; and Demas.

15 Greet the brothers who are of Laodicea, and Nymphas, and the church which is in his house.

16 And when this letter is read among you, have it read in the church of the Laodiceans also, and that you likewise read the letter written from Laodicea.

17 And say to Archippus, ‘Pay attention to the ministry that you have received in the Lord, so that you may 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.
