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.”

Colossians 4:10-17
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
10 Aristarchus, my fellow-captive, greets you, and so does Mark, the cousin of Barnabas, concerning whom you received commands (if he comes to you, welcome him), 11 and Jesus, the one being called Justus— the ones being from the circumcision[a] (these alone are fellow-workers for the kingdom of God, who proved-to-be[b] a comfort[c] to me). 12 Epaphras greets you— the one from-among you, a slave of Christ Jesus always struggling[d] for you in his prayers in-order-that[e] you might stand mature[f] and having been fully-assured in all the will of God. 13 For I testify concerning him that he has great pain[g] for you, and the ones in Laodicea, and the ones in Hierapolis. 14 Luke, the beloved physician, greets you, and Demas.
15 Greet the brothers in Laodicea, and Nymphas and the church at her house. 16 And when this letter is read among you, cause that it also be read in the church of the Laodiceans, and that you also read the letter from Laodicea. 17 And say to Archippus— “See-to the ministry which you received in the Lord, in order that you may be fulfilling it”.
