Colossians 4:7-14

Contemporary English Version

Final Greetings

⁷^(A)^(B) Tychicus is the dear friend, who faithfully works and serves the Lord with us, and he will give you the news about me. ⁸I am sending him to cheer you up by telling you how we are getting along. ⁹^(C) Onesimus, the dear and faithful follower from your own group, is coming with him. The two of them will tell you everything that has happened here.

¹⁰^(D) Aristarchus is in jail with me. He sends greetings to you, and so does Mark, the cousin of Barnabas. You have already been told to welcome Mark, if he visits you. ¹¹Jesus, who is known as Justus, sends his greetings. These three men are the only Jewish followers who have worked with me for the kingdom of God. They have given me much comfort.

¹²^(E) Your own Epaphras, who serves Christ Jesus, sends his greetings. He always prays hard that you may fully know what the Lord wants you to do and that you may do it completely. ¹³I have seen how much trouble he has gone through for you and for the followers in Laodicea and Hierapolis.

¹⁴^(F) Our dear doctor Luke sends you his greetings, and so does Demas.
