Colossians 4:9-17

9 1and with him is 2Onesimus, our faithful and 3beloved brother, 4who is one of your own. They will inform you about the whole situation here.

10 5Aristarchus, my 6fellow prisoner, sends you his greetings; and also 7Barnabas’ cousin Mark (about whom you received 8instructions; 9if he comes to you, welcome him); 11and also Jesus who is called Justus; these are the only 10fellow workers for the kingdom of God 11who are from the circumcision, and they have proved to be an encouragement to me. 12 12Epaphras, 13who is one of your own, a bond-servant of Christ Jesus, sends you his greetings, always 14striving earnestly for you in his prayers, that you may 15stand 16 17mature and 18fully assured in all the will of God. 13For I testify for him that he has 19a deep concern for you and for those who are in 20Laodicea and Hierapolis. 14 21Luke, the beloved physician, sends you his greetings, and 22Demas does also. 15Greet the brothers and sisters who are in 23Laodicea and also 24Nympha and 25the church that is in 26her house. 16 27When 28this letter is read among you, have it also read in the church of the Laodiceans; and you, for your part, 29read 30my letter that is coming from 31Laodicea. 17Tell 32Archippus, “See to the 33ministry which you have received in the Lord, so that you may 34fulfill it.”
