10 aAristarchus my fellow prisoner greets you, with bMark 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 aEpaphras, who is one of you, a bondservant of Christ, greets you, always blaboring fervently for you in prayers, that you may stand cperfect and complete in all the will of God.
13 For I bear him witness that he has a great1 zeal for you, and those who are in Laodicea, and those in Hierapolis.
14 aLuke the beloved physician and bDemas greet you.
15 Greet the brethren who are in Laodicea, and Nymphas and athe church that is in his house.
Closing Exhortations and Blessing
16 Now when athis epistle is read among you, see that it is read also in the church of the Laodiceans, and that you likewise read the epistle from Laodicea.
17 And say to aArchippus, “Take heed to bthe ministry which you have received in the Lord, that you may fulfill it.”
18 aThis salutation by my own hand—Paul. bRemember my chains. Grace be with you. Amen.
