Greet Asyncritus, Phlegon, Hermes, Patrobas, Hermas and the other brothers and sisters with them.
And if you greet only your own people, what are you doing more than others? Do not even pagans do that?
Greet Rufus, chosen in the Lord, and his mother, who has been a mother to me, too.
Greet Philologus, Julia, Nereus and his sister, and Olympas and all the Lord’s people who are with them.
For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers and sisters.
To God’s holy people in Colossae, the faithful brothers and sisters in Christ: Grace and peace to you from God our Father.
Therefore, holy brothers and sisters, who share in the heavenly calling, fix your thoughts on Jesus, whom we acknowledge as our apostle and high priest.
