10 (A)Aristarchus my fellow prisoner greets you, and Mark (B)the cousin of Barnabas (concerning whom you have received instructions—(C)if he comes to you, welcome him), 11 and Jesus who is called (D)Justus. (E)These are the only men of the circumcision among my fellow workers for the kingdom of God, and (F)they have been a comfort to me. 12 (G)Epaphras, who is one of you, a servant of Christ Jesus, greets you, always (H)struggling on your behalf in his prayers, that you may stand (I)mature and fully assured in all the will of God. 13 For I bear him witness that he has worked hard for you and for those in Laodicea and in Hierapolis. 14 (J)Luke the beloved physician greets you, as does (K)Demas. 15 Give my greetings to the brothers[a] at Laodicea, and to Nympha and (L)the church in her house. 16 And when (M)this letter has been read among you, have it also read in the church of the Laodiceans; and see that you also read the letter from Laodicea. 17 And say to (N)Archippus, “See that you fulfill (O)the ministry that you have received in the Lord.”

10 Aristarchus, my fellow prisoner, sends you greetings, as does Mark,(A) Barnabas’s(B) cousin (concerning whom you have received instructions: if he comes to you, welcome him), 11 and so does Jesus who is called Justus. These alone of the circumcised are my coworkers for the kingdom of God, and they have been a comfort to me. 12 Epaphras,(C) who is one of you, a servant of Christ Jesus, sends you greetings. He is always wrestling(D) for you in his prayers, so that you can stand mature and fully assured[a] in everything God wills.(E) 13 For I testify about him that he works hard[b](F) for you, for those in Laodicea,(G) and for those in Hierapolis. 14 Luke, the dearly loved physician, and Demas(H) send you greetings. 15 Give my greetings to the brothers and sisters in Laodicea, and to Nympha and the church in her home.(I) 16 After this letter has been read at your gathering, have it read also in the church of the Laodiceans; and see that you also read the letter from Laodicea. 17 And tell Archippus,(J) “Pay attention to the ministry you have received in the Lord, so that you can accomplish it.”(K)
