They shall make known unto you all things which are done here.→10Aristarchus my fellowprisoner saluteth you, and Marcus, sister's son to Barnabas, (touching whom ye received commandments: if he come unto you, receive him;)→11And Jesus, which is called Justus, who are of the circumcision. These only are my fellowworkers unto the kingdom of God, which have been a comfort unto me.→12Epaphras, who is one of you, a servant of Christ, saluteth you, always labouring fervently for you in prayers, that ye may stand perfect and complete in all the will of God.→13For I bear him record, that he hath a great zeal for you, and them that are in Laodicea, and them in Hierapolis.→14Luke, the beloved physician, and Demas, greet you.→15Salute the brethren which are in Laodicea, and Nymphas, and the church which is in his house.→16And when this epistle is read among you, cause that it be read also in the church of the Laodiceans; and that ye likewise read the epistle from Laodicea.→17And say to Archippus, Take heed to the ministry which thou hast received in the Lord, that thou fulfil it.→18The salutation by the hand of me Paul. Remember my bonds. Grace be with you. Amen.→
