8 This is why I sent him to you, so that you’ll know all about us and so he can encourage your hearts.
9 I sent him with Onesimus, our faithful and dearly loved brother, who is one of you. They will let you know about everything here.
10 Aristarchus, my fellow prisoner, says hello to you. So does Mark, Barnabas’ cousin (you received instructions about him; if he comes to you, welcome him).
11 Jesus, called Justus, also says hello. These are my only fellow workers for God’s kingdom who are Jewish converts. They have been an encouragement to me.
12 Epaphras, who is one of you, says hello. He’s a slave of Christ Jesus who always wrestles for you in prayers so that you will stand firm and be fully mature and complete in the entire will of God.
13 I can vouch for him that he has worked hard for you and for those in Laodicea and Hierapolis.
14 Luke, the dearly loved physician, and Demas say hello.
