Colossians 4:10-17

New International Version

¹⁰My fellow prisoner Aristarchus^(A) sends you his greetings, as does Mark,^(B) the cousin of Barnabas.^(C) (You have received instructions about him; if he comes to you, welcome him.) ¹¹Jesus, who is called Justus, also sends greetings. These are the only Jews^[a] among my co-workers^(D) for the kingdom of God, and they have proved a comfort to me. ¹²Epaphras,^(E) who is one of you^(F) and a servant of Christ Jesus, sends greetings. He is always wrestling in prayer for you,^(G) that you may stand firm in all the will of God, mature^(H) and fully assured. ¹³I vouch for him that he is working hard for you and for those at Laodicea^(I) and Hierapolis. ¹⁴Our dear friend Luke,^(J) the doctor, and Demas^(K) send greetings. ¹⁵Give my greetings to the brothers and sisters at Laodicea,^(L) and to Nympha and the church in her house.^(M)

¹⁶After this letter has been read to you, see that it is also read^(N) in the church of the Laodiceans and that you in turn read the letter from Laodicea.

¹⁷Tell Archippus:^(O) “See to it that you complete the ministry you have received in the Lord.”^(P)
