Colossians 4:7 Tychicus will tell you all the news about me. He is

a dear brother, a faithful minister and fellow servant in the Lord. 8 I

am sending him to you for the express purpose that you may know

about our circumstances and that he may encourage your hearts. 9

He is coming with Onesimus, our faithful and dear brother, who is one

of you. They will tell you everything that is happening here. - (NIV84)

Colossians 4:10 My fellow prisoner Aristarchus sends you his

greetings, as does Mark, the cousin of Barnabas. (You have received

instructions about him; if he comes to you, welcome him.) 11 Jesus,

among my fellow workers for the kingdom of God, and they have

proved a comfort to me.

Forgive as the Lord forgave you. 14 And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity. 15 Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful. 16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom, and as you sing psalms, hymns and spiritual songs with gratitude in your hearts to God. 17 And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him. - (NIV84)

Colossians 1:24 Now I rejoice in what was suffered for you, and I

fill up in my flesh what is still lacking in regard to Christ’s afflictions,

for the sake of his body, which is the church. 25 I have become

its servant by the commission God gave me to present to you

the word of God in its fullness— 26 the mystery that has been

kept hidden for ages and generations, but is now disclosed to the

saints. 27 To them God has chosen to make known among the

Gentiles the glorious riches of this mystery, which is Christ in you,

the hope of glory. 28 We proclaim him, admonishing and teaching

everyone with all wisdom, so that we may present everyone perfect

in Christ. 29 To this end I labor, struggling with all his energy,

which so powerfully works in me. - (NIV84)
