歌罗西书4:7-18
7有我亲爱的兄弟推基古要将我一切的事都告诉你们。他是忠心的执事,和我一同作主的仆人。8我特意打发他到你们那里去,好叫你们知道我们的光景,又叫他安慰你们的心。9我又打发一位亲爱忠心的兄弟阿尼西母同去。他也是你们那里的人。他们要把这里一切的事都告诉你们。10与我一同坐监的亚里达古问你们安。巴拿巴的表弟马可也问你们安。(说到这马可,你们已经受了吩咐。他若到了你们那里,你们就接待他。)11耶数又称为犹士都,也问你们安。奉割礼的人中,只有这三个人,是为神的国与我一同作工的。也是叫我心里得安慰的。12有你们那里的人,作基督耶稣仆人的以巴弗问你们安。他在祷告之间,常为你们竭力地祈求,愿你们在神一切的旨意上,得以完全。信心充足,能站立得稳。13他为你们和老底嘉并希拉波立的弟兄,多多地劳苦。这是我可以给他作见证的。14所亲爱的医生路加,和底马问你们安。15请问老底嘉的弟兄和宁法,并他家里的教会安。16你们念了这书信,便交给老底嘉的教会,叫他们也念。你们也要念从老底嘉来的书信。17要对亚基布说,务要谨慎,尽你从主所受的职分。18我保罗亲笔问你们安。你们要记念我的捆锁。愿恩惠常与你们同在。
7Tychicus will give you a full report about how I am getting along. He is a beloved brother and faithful helper who serves with me in the Lord’s work. 8I have sent him to you for this very purpose—to let you know how we are doing and to encourage you. 9I am also sending Onesimus, a faithful and beloved brother, one of your own people. He and Tychicus will tell you everything that’s happening here. 10Aristarchus, who is in prison with me, sends you his greetings, and so does Mark, Barnabas’s cousin. As you were instructed before, make Mark welcome if he comes your way. 11Jesus (the one we call Justus) also sends his greetings. These are the only Jewish believers among my co-workers; they are working with me here for the Kingdom of God. And what a comfort they have been! 12Epaphras, a member of your own fellowship and a servant of Christ Jesus, sends you his greetings. He always prays earnestly for you, asking God to make you strong and perfect, fully confident that you are following the whole will of God. 13I can assure you that he prays hard for you and also for the believers in Laodicea and Hierapolis. 14Luke, the beloved doctor, sends his greetings, and so does Demas. 15Please give my greetings to our brothers and sisters#4:15 Greek brothers. at Laodicea, and to Nympha and the church that meets in her house. 16After you have read this letter, pass it on to the church at Laodicea so they can read it, too. And you should read the letter I wrote to them. 17And say to Archippus, “Be sure to carry out the ministry the Lord gave you.” 18 Here is my greeting in my own handwriting—Paul.Remember my chains.May God’s grace be with you.
