Colossians 4:7-17

New King James Version

Final Greetings^(A)

^7 (B)Tychicus, a beloved brother, faithful minister, and fellow servant in the Lord, will tell you all the news about me. ^8 (C)I am sending him to you for this very purpose, that ^[a]he may know your circumstances and comfort your hearts, ⁹ with ^(D)Onesimus, a faithful and beloved brother, who is one of you. They will make known to you all things which are happening here.

^10 (E)Aristarchus my fellow prisoner greets you, with ^(F)Mark 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 (G)Epaphras, who is one of you, a bondservant of Christ, greets you, always ^(H)laboring fervently for you in prayers, that you may stand ^(I)perfect and ^[b]complete in all the will of God. ¹³ For I bear him witness that he has a great ^[c]zeal for you, and those who are in Laodicea, and those in Hierapolis. ^14 (J)Luke the beloved physician and ^(K)Demas greet you. ¹⁵ Greet the brethren who are in Laodicea, and ^[d]Nymphas and ^(L)the church that is in ^[e]his house.

Closing Exhortations and Blessing

¹⁶ Now when ^(M)this 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 ^(N)Archippus, “Take heed to ^(O)the ministry which you have received in the Lord, that you may fulfill it.”
