10 (A)Aristarchus my fellow prisoner greets you, with (B)Mark the cousin of Barnabas (about whom you received instructions: if he comes to you, welcome him), 11 and Jesus who is called Justus.

12 (C)Epaphras, who is one of you, a bondservant of Christ, greets you, always (D)laboring fervently for you in prayers, that you may stand (E)perfect and [a]complete in all the will of God. 13 For I bear him witness that he has a great [b]zeal for you, and those who are in Laodicea, and those in Hierapolis. 14 (F)Luke the beloved physician and (G)Demas greet you.
