From Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, and Timothy our brother,

Tychicus, a dear brother, faithful minister, and fellow slave in the Lord, will tell you all the news about me.

I sent him with Onesimus, the faithful and dear brother, who is one of you. They will tell you about everything here.

Give my greetings to the brothers and sisters who are in Laodicea and to Nympha and the church that meets in her house.

to the saints, the faithful brothers and sisters in Christ, at Colossae. Grace and peace to you from God our Father!

bearing with one another and forgiving one another, if someone happens to have a complaint against anyone else. Just as the Lord has forgiven you, so you also forgive others.

Aristarchus, my fellow prisoner, sends you greetings, as does Mark, the cousin of Barnabas (about whom you received instructions; if he comes to you, welcome him).

And Jesus who is called Justus also sends greetings. In terms of Jewish converts, these are the only fellow workers for the kingdom of God, and they have been a comfort to me.
