5 Be wise in the way you act with people who are not believers, making the most of every opportunity.
6 When you talk, you should always be kind and pleasant so you will be able to answer everyone in the way you should.
7 Tychicus is my dear brother in Christ and a faithful minister and servant with me in the Lord. He will tell you all the things that are happening to me.
8 This is why I am sending him: so you may know how we are and he may encourage you.
9 I send him with Onesimus, a faithful and dear brother in Christ, and one of your group. They will tell you all that has happened here.
10 Aristarchus, a prisoner with me, and Mark, the cousin of Barnabas, greet you. (I have already told you what to do about Mark. If he comes, welcome him.)
11 Jesus, who is called Justus, also greets you. These are the only Jewish believers who work with me for the kingdom of God, and they have been a comfort to me.
