10 My fellow prisoner Aristarchuse sends you his greetings, as does Mark,f the cousin of Barnabas.g (You have received instructions about him; if he comes to you, welcome him.) 11 Jesus, who is called Justus, also sends greetings. These are the only Jewsc among my co-workersh for the kingdom of God, and they have proved a comfort to me. 12 Epaphras,i who is one of youj and a servant of Christ Jesus, sends greetings. He is always wrestling in prayer for you,k that you may stand firm in all the will of God, maturel and fully assured. 13 I vouch for him that he is working hard for you and for those at Laodiceam and Hierapolis. 14 Our dear friend Luke,n the doctor, and Demaso send greetings.
