  • COL 4:10–17, engwebp

    10Aristarchus, my fellow prisoner, greets you, and Mark the cousin of Barnabas (concerning whom you received instructions, “if he comes to you, receive him”),

    11and Jesus who is called Justus. These are my only fellow workers for God’s Kingdom who are of the circumcision, men who have been a comfort to me.

    12Epaphras, who is one of you, a servant of Christ, salutes you, always striving for you in his prayers, that you may stand perfect and complete in all the will of God.

    13For I testify about him that he has great zeal for you, and for those in Laodicea, and for those in Hierapolis.

    14Luke the beloved physician and Demas greet you.

    15Greet the brothers who are in Laodicea, with Nymphas and the assembly that is in his house.

    16When this letter has been read among you, cause it to be read also in the assembly of the Laodiceans, and that you also read the letter from Laodicea.

    17Tell Archippus, “Take heed to the ministry which you have received in the Lord, that you fulfill it.”

Verses tagged with this entry

Names in the World English Bible text that carry this entry’s tag. They are carried over from the tags on the Korean Revised Version, which are matched by name inside chapters that already have collected evidence, and a verse where the English says “he” carries none. All await human review. They are a separate list from the source passages above. An empty list does not mean the entry is absent from the text.
