Colossians 4:9-11
The Message
7-9 My good friend Tychicus will tell you all about me. He’s a trusted minister and companion in the service of the Master. I’ve sent him to you so that you would know how things are with us, and so he could encourage you in your faith. And I’ve sent Onesimus with him. Onesimus is one of you, and has become such a trusted and dear brother! Together they’ll bring you up-to-date on everything that has been going on here.
10-11 Aristarchus, who is in jail here with me, sends greetings; also Mark, cousin of Barnabas (you received a letter regarding him; if he shows up, welcome him); and also Jesus, the one they call Justus. These are the only ones left from the old crowd who have stuck with me in working for God’s kingdom. Don’t think they haven’t been a big help!

Colossians 4:9-11
New International Version
9 He is coming with Onesimus,(A) our faithful and dear brother, who is one of you.(B) They will tell you everything that is happening here.
10 My fellow prisoner Aristarchus(C) sends you his greetings, as does Mark,(D) the cousin of Barnabas.(E) (You have 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[a] among my co-workers(F) for the kingdom of God, and they have proved a comfort to me.
