ἀσπάζεται
/is/_greeting
As was customary in this culture, Paul concludes the letter by extending greetings from people who are with him and who know the people to whom he is writing. Your language may have a particular way of sharing greetings in a letter. If so, you could use that form here. Alternate translation: “asks to be remembered to” or “says hello to”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis
ἀσπάζεται ὑμᾶς Λουκᾶς, ὁ ἰατρὸς ὁ ἀγαπητὸς, καὶ Δημᾶς.
/is/_greeting you_all Luke the physician ¬the beloved and Demas
Paul has not included the verb “greet” with and also Demas, because it was unnecessary in his language. If including “greet” is necessary in your language, you could: (1) move and also Demas before greets you. Alternate translation: “Luke the beloved physician and also Demas greet you” (2) include it with the phrase and also Demas. Alternate translation: “Luke the beloved physician greets you, and also Demas greets you”
4:14 Luke, the beloved doctor, is well known as the author of Acts and the Gospel bearing his name. This verse is the sole evidence for two facts about Luke: He was a doctor, and he was not a Jewish believer (see Col 4:10-11).
• In contrast to the other people mentioned in this passage, no details are given about Demas. Perhaps Paul did not know him well. Demas later deserted Paul (2 Tim 4:10).
Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Greek words that they’re translated from.
