7aAs to all my affairs, bTychicus, our cbeloved brother and faithful servant and fellow bond-servant in the Lord, will bring you information.

8aFor I have sent him to you for this very purpose, that you may know about our circumstances and that he may bencourage your hearts;

91and with him aOnesimus, our faithful and bbeloved brother, cwho is one of your number. They will inform you about the whole situation here.

10aAristarchus, my bfellow prisoner, sends you his greetings; and also cBarnabas’s cousin Mark (about whom you received 1instructions; dif he comes to you, welcome him);

11and also Jesus who is called Justus; these are the only afellow workers for the kingdom of God bwho are from the circumcision, and they have proved to be an encouragement to me.

12aEpaphras, bwho is one of your number, a bondslave of Jesus Christ, sends you his greetings, always claboring earnestly for you in his prayers, that you may 1stand 2dperfect and 3fully assured in all the will of God.

13For I testify for him that he has 1a deep concern for you and for those who are in aLaodicea and Hierapolis.

14aLuke, the beloved physician, sends you his greetings, and also bDemas.

15Greet the brethren who are in aLaodicea and also 1Nympha and bthe church that is in 2her house.

16aWhen 1this letter is read among you, have it also read in the church of the Laodiceans; and you, for your part read my letter that is coming from bLaodicea.

17Say to aArchippus, “Take heed to the bministry which you have received in the Lord, that you may 1fulfill it.”

181I, Paul, awrite this greeting with my own hand. bRemember my 2cimprisonment. dGrace be with you.
