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.”

Revised Standard Version
10 Aristar′chus my fellow prisoner greets you, and Mark the cousin of Barnabas (concerning whom you have received instructions—if he comes to you, receive him), 11 and Jesus who is called Justus. These are the only men of the circumcision among my fellow workers for the kingdom of God, and they have been a comfort to me. 12 Ep′aphras, who is one of yourselves, a servant[a] of Christ Jesus, greets you, always remembering you earnestly in his prayers, that you may stand 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 La-odice′a and in Hi-erap′olis. 14 Luke the beloved physician and Demas greet you. 15 Give my greetings to the brethren at La-odice′a, and to Nympha and the church in her house. 16 And when this letter has been read among you, have it read also in the church of the La-odice′ans; and see that you read also the letter from La-odice′a. 17 And say to Archip′pus, “See that you fulfil the ministry which you have received in the Lord.”
