10 (A)Aristarchus, my (B)fellow prisoner, sends you his greetings; and also Mark, the cousin of (C)Barnabas (about whom you received [a]instructions; (D)if he comes to you, welcome him); 11 and also Jesus who is called Justus. These are the only (E)fellow workers for the kingdom of God (F)who are from the circumcision, and they have proved to be a comfort to me. 12 (G)Epaphras, (H)who is one of your number, a slave of Christ Jesus, sends you his greetings, always (I)striving for you in his prayers, that you may stand [b](J)complete and (K)fully assured in all the will of God. 13 For I testify for him that he has [c]a deep concern for you and for those who are in (L)Laodicea and Hierapolis. 14 (M)Luke, the beloved physician, sends you his greetings, and also (N)Demas. 15 Greet the brothers who are in (O)Laodicea and also [d]Nympha and (P)the church that is in [e]her house. 16 (Q)And when [f]this letter is read among you, have it also read in the church of the Laodiceans; and you, for your part (R)read [g]my letter that is coming from (S)Laodicea. 17 And say to (T)Archippus, “Take heed to the (U)ministry which you have received in the Lord, that you may [h]fulfill it.”

Evangelical Heritage Version
10 Aristarchus, my fellow prisoner, greets you, as does Mark, the cousin of Barnabas. You received instructions about him. If he comes to you, welcome him. 11 Jesus, who is called Justus, also greets you. These are my only fellow workers for the kingdom of God who are circumcised,[a] and who have been a source of comfort to me. 12 Epaphras greets you. He is one of you and is a servant of Christ.[b] He is always struggling in prayer for you, praying that you may stand complete and fully assured in all the will of God. 13 Indeed, I can testify about him that he has worked very hard in your place, in the place of those in Laodicea, and in the place of those in Hierapolis. 14 Luke, the dearly loved doctor, greets you, as does Demas.
15 Greet the brothers in Laodicea. Greet Nympha and the church at her[c] house. 16 When this letter has been read among you, make sure that it is also read in the church of the Laodiceans. And make sure that you also read the letter from Laodicea. 17 Tell Archippus, “See to it that you fulfill the ministry that you received in the Lord.”
