Greetings from Paul’s Fellow Workers

(Romans 16:21–23)

7 Tychicus will tell you all the news about me. [He is] a beloved brother, a faithful minister, and a fellow servant in [the] Lord. 8 I have sent him to you for this very purpose, that he may know about you,[fn] and that he may encourage your hearts. 9 With him [I am sending] Onesimus, [our] faithful and beloved brother, who is [one] of you. They will tell you {about} everything here.

10 My fellow prisoner Aristarchus sends you greetings, as does Mark the cousin of Barnabas. You have [already] received instructions about [him]: If he comes to you, welcome him. 11 Jesus, who is called Justus, also [sends greetings]. These are [the] only Jews among [my] fellow workers for the kingdom of God, [and] they have been a comfort to me.

12 Epaphras, who [is] [one] of you [and] a servant of Christ,[fn] sends you greetings. [He is] always wrestling in prayer for you, so that you may stand mature and complete[fn] in [the] full will of God. 13 For I testify about him that he has great zeal[fn] for you and for those at Laodicea and Hierapolis.

14 Luke, the beloved physician, and Demas send you greetings.
