Colossians 4:7-12
New King James Version
Final Greetings(A)
7 (B)Tychicus, a beloved brother, faithful minister, and fellow servant in the Lord, will tell you all the news about me. 8 (C)I am sending him to you for this very purpose, that [a]he may know your circumstances and comfort your hearts, 9 with (D)Onesimus, a faithful and beloved brother, who is one of you. They will make known to you all things which are happening here.
10 (E)Aristarchus my fellow prisoner greets you, with (F)Mark the cousin of Barnabas (about whom you received instructions: if he comes to you, welcome him), 11 and Jesus who is called Justus. These are my only fellow workers for the kingdom of God who are of the circumcision; they have proved to be a comfort to me.
12 (G)Epaphras, who is one of you, a bondservant of Christ, greets you, always (H)laboring fervently for you in prayers, that you may stand (I)perfect and [b]complete in all the will of God.

10 My fellow prisoner Aristarchus(F) sends you his greetings, as does Mark,(G) the cousin of Barnabas.(H) (You have received instructions about him; if he comes to you, welcome him.) 11 Jesus, who is called Justus, also sends greetings.

He is always wrestling in prayer for you,(L) that you may stand firm in all the will of God, mature(M) and fully assured.
