Colossians 4:10-17
New American Standard Bible
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.”

American Standard Version
10 Aristarchus my fellow-prisoner saluteth you, and Mark, the cousin of Barnabas (touching whom ye received commandments; if he come unto you, receive him), 11 and Jesus that is called Justus, who are of the circumcision: these only are my fellow-workers unto the kingdom of God, men that have been a comfort unto me. 12 Epaphras, who is one of you, a [a]servant of Christ Jesus, saluteth you, always striving for you in his prayers, that ye may stand perfect and fully assured in all the will of God. 13 For I bear him witness, that he hath much labor for you, and for them in Laodicea, and for them in Hierapolis. 14 Luke, the beloved physician, and Demas salute you. 15 Salute the brethren that are in Laodicea, and [b]Nymphas, and the church that is in [c]their house. 16 And when [d]this epistle hath been read among you, cause that it be read also in the church of the Laodiceans; and that ye also read the epistle from Laodicea. 17 And say to Archippus, Take heed to the ministry which thou hast received in the Lord, that thou fulfil it.
