Apostol § 261

Colossians 4:10–18

Aristarchus my fellow prisoner salutes you, with Mark the cousin of Barnabas (about whom you received instructions: if he comes to you, welcome him), and Jesus who is called Justus. These are my only fellow workers for the Kingdom of God who are of the circumcision; and they have been a comfort to me. Epaphras, who is one of you, a servant of Christ, salutes you, always laboring fervently for you in prayers, that you may stand perfect and complete in all the will of God. For I bear him witness that he has a great zeal for you, and those who are in Laodicea, and those in Hierapolis... Luke the beloved physician and Demas greet you... Salute the brethren who are in Laodicea, and Nymphas and the Church that is in his house. Now when 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. And say to Archippus, “Take heed to the ministry which thou hast received in the Lord, that thou fulfill it...” This salutation by my own hand, Paul. Remember my chains. Grace be with you. Amen.
