my affairs will Tychicus make known unto you, a beloved brother,
and faithful minister, and fellow-servant in the Lord: (8)whom I have
sent unto you for this very purpose, that he might know your affairs,
and comfort your hearts; (9)with Onesimus, that faithful and beloved
brother, who is one of you: they will make known unto you all things
that have passed here.

(10)There salute you Aristarchus my fellow-prisoner, and Mark nephew to
Barnabas, concerning whom ye have received injunctions; if he come unto
you, receive him, (11)and Jesus, who is called Justus, who are of the
circumcision. These only are my fellow-labourers for the kingdom of
God, who have been a comfort to me.

(12)Epaphras, one of you, saluteth you, a servant of Christ, always
wrestling for you in prayers, that ye may stand perfect and complete in
all the will of God. (13)For I bear him witness that he hath great zeal
for you, and for those in Laodicea, and those in Hierapolis.

(14)Luke, the beloved physician, saluteth you, and Demas.

(15)Salute the brethren that are in Laodicea, and Nymphas, and the
church which is at his house. (16)And when this epistle hath been read
among you, cause that it also be read in the church of the Laodiceans,
and that ye also read that from Laodicea. (17)And say to Archippus,
Take heed to the ministry which thou hast received from the Lord, that
thou fulfil it.

(18)The salutation of Paul with mine own hand. Remember my chains.
Grace be with you. Amen.

Written to the Colossians from Rome by Tychicus and Onesimus.

CHAP. I.

PAUL, and Silvanus, and Timothy, to the church of the Thessalonians in
God the Father, and in the Lord Jesus Christ: grace unto you, and peace
from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ. (2)We give thanks to
God always for you all, making mention of you in our prayers;
(3)without ceasing calling to mind your work of faith, and labour of
love, and patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, before our God and
Father; (4)knowing, brethren, beloved of God, your election. (5)For our
gospel came not unto you in word only, but in power, and in the Holy
Ghost, and in great fulness of assurance; as ye know what manner of men
we have been among you for your sakes. (6)And ye became imitators of
us, and of the Lord, receiving the word in much affliction, with joy of
the Holy Ghost; (7)so that ye became models for all that believe in
