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.”

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.
