10 (A)Aristarchus, my (B)fellow prisoner, sends you his greetings; and also (C)Barnabas’ cousin Mark (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 an encouragement to me. 12 (G)Epaphras, (H)who is one of your own, a bond-servant of Christ Jesus, sends you his greetings, always (I)striving earnestly for you in his prayers, that you may [b]stand [c](J)mature and [d]fully assured in all the will of God. 13 For I testify for him that he has [e]a deep concern for you and for those who are in (K)Laodicea and Hierapolis. 14 (L)Luke, the beloved physician, sends you his greetings, and (M)Demas does also. 15 Greet the brothers and sisters who are in (N)Laodicea and also [f]Nympha and (O)the church that is in [g]her house. 16 (P)When [h]this letter is read among you, have it also read in the church of the Laodiceans; and you, for your part, (Q)read [i]my letter that is coming from (R)Laodicea. 17 Tell (S)Archippus, “See to the (T)ministry which you have received in the Lord, so that you may [j]fulfill it.”
