10 Aristarchus, my fellow prisoner, greets you, and Mark, the cousin of Barnabas (concerning whom you received commandments, “if he comes to you, receive him”), 11 and Jesus who is called Justus. These are my only fellow workers for God’s Kingdom who are of the circumcision, men who have been a comfort to me.

12 Epaphras, who is one of you, a servant of Christ, salutes you, always striving for you in his prayers, that you may stand perfect and complete in all the will of God. 13 For I testify about him that he has great zeal for you, and for those in Laodicea, and for those in Hierapolis. 14 Luke the beloved physician and Demas greet you. 15 Greet the brothers who are in Laodicea, and Nymphas, and the assembly that is in his house. 16 When this letter has been read among you, cause it to be read also in the assembly of the Laodiceans, and that you also read the letter from Laodicea. 17 Tell Archippus, “Take heed to the ministry which you have received in the Lord, that you fulfill it.”

These are the only Jews[a] among my co-workers(D) for the kingdom of God, and they have proved a comfort to me. 12 Epaphras,(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. 13 I vouch for him that he is working hard for you and for those at Laodicea(I) and Hierapolis. 14 Our dear friend Luke,(J) the doctor, and Demas(K) send greetings. 15 Give my greetings to the brothers and sisters at Laodicea,(L) and to Nympha and the church in her house.(M)

16 After 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.

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