Colossians:4:7-18
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Tychicus ,
my beloved brother and faithful minister and fellow slave in the Lord ,
will make known to you all that concerns me .
*
I have sent him with Onesimus ,
the faithful and beloved brother ,
one of your own number ,
for this very purpose ,
to let you know how I am ,
and to cheer your hearts .
*
They will inform you of all that goes on here .
*
Aristarchus ,
my fellow prisoner ,
salutes you ,
and Marcus ,
the cousin of Barnabas (
about whom you received instructions ;
if he comes to you ,
make him welcome ),
and Jesus surnamed Justas .
*
These are my only fellow workers for the kingdom of God ,
belonging to the circumcision ,
who have been any comfort to me .
*
Epaphras ,
one of yourselves ,
salutes you ,
a slave of Christ who is always agonizing for you in his prayers ,
that you may stand firm ,
mature ,
and fully assured in all the will of God .
*
For I can testify to his deep interest in you and in those in Laodicea and Hierapolis .
*
Luke ,
the beloved physician ,
salutes you ,
and so does Demas .
*
Salute the brothers in Laodicea ;
Nympha also ,
and the church which meets at her house .
*
And when this letter has been read to you ,
see that it is read also in the church of Laodiceans ,
and that you also read the letter from Laodicea .
*
And tell Archippas to take heed to the ministry which he has received in the Lord ,
that he may fulfill it .
*
I ,
Paul ,
add this farewell in my own handwriting .
Do not forget these chains of mine .
Grace be with you .
