Greetings to Asyncritus, Phlegon, Hermes, Patrobas, Hermas, and all the brothers and sisters who are with them.
And if you are nice only to your friends, you are no better than other people. Even those who don’t know God are nice to their friends.
Greetings to Rufus, who is a special person in the Lord, and to his mother, who has been like a mother to me also.
Greetings to Philologus and Julia, Nereus and his sister, and Olympas, and to all God’s people with them.
God knew them before he made the world, and he chose them to be like his Son so that Jesus would be the firstborn of many brothers and sisters.
To the holy and faithful brothers and sisters in Christ that live in Colossae: Grace and peace to you from God our Father.
So all of you holy brothers and sisters, who were called by God, think about Jesus, who was sent to us and is the high priest of our faith.
