Final Greetings

⁷ Tychicus will tell you ^(A)all about my activities. He is a beloved brother and faithful minister and fellow servant^[a] in the Lord. ⁸ I have sent him to you for this very purpose, that you may know how we are and that he may encourage your hearts, ⁹ and with him ^(B)Onesimus, our faithful and ^(C)beloved brother, who is one of you. They will tell you of everything that has taken place here.

^10 (D)Aristarchus my fellow prisoner greets you, and Mark ^(E)the cousin of Barnabas (concerning whom you have received instructions—^(F)if he comes to you, welcome him), ¹¹ and Jesus who is called ^(G)Justus. ^(H)These are the only men of the circumcision among my fellow workers for the kingdom of God, and ^(I)they have been a comfort to me. ^12 (J)Epaphras, who is one of you, a servant of Christ Jesus, greets you, always ^(K)struggling on your behalf in his prayers, that you may stand ^(L)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 Laodicea and in Hierapolis. ^14 (M)Luke the beloved physician greets you, as does ^(N)Demas. ¹⁵ Give my greetings to the brothers^[b] at Laodicea, and to Nympha and ^(O)the church in her house. ¹⁶ And when ^(P)this letter has been read among you, have it also read in the church of the Laodiceans; and see that you also read the letter from Laodicea. ¹⁷ And say to ^(Q)Archippus, “See that you fulfill ^(R)the ministry that you have received in the Lord.”

¹⁸ I, Paul, ^(S)write this greeting with my own hand. ^(T)Remember ^(U)my chains. ^(V)Grace be with you.
