歌羅西書4:7-18

4:7 有我親愛的兄弟推基古要將我一切的事都告訴你們。他是忠心的執事，和我一同作主的僕人。
4:8 我特意打發他到你們那裡去，好叫你們知道我們的光景，又叫他安慰你們的心。
4:9 我又打發一位親愛忠心的兄弟阿尼西謀同去；他也是你們那裡的人。他們要把這裡一切的事都告訴你們。
4:10 與我一同坐監的亞里達古問你們安。巴拿巴的表弟馬可也問你們安。（說到這馬可，你們已經受了吩咐；他若到了你們那裡，你們就接待他。）
4:11 耶數又稱為猶士都，也問你們安。奉割禮的人中，只有這三個人是為上帝的國與我一同做工的，也是叫我心裡得安慰的。
4:12 有你們那裡的人，作基督耶穌僕人的以巴弗問你們安。他在禱告之間，常為你們竭力地祈求，願你們在上帝一切的旨意上得以完全，信心充足，能站立得穩。
4:13 他為你們和老底嘉並希拉坡里的弟兄多多地勞苦，這是我可以給他作見證的。
4:14 所親愛的醫生路加和底馬問你們安。
4:15 請問老底嘉的弟兄和寧法，並她家裡的教會安。
4:16 你們念了這書信，便交給老底嘉的教會，叫他們也念；你們也要念從老底嘉來的書信。
4:17 要對亞基布說：「務要謹慎，盡你從主所受的職分。」
4:18 我－保羅親筆問你們安。你們要記念我的捆鎖。願恩惠常與你們同在！

⁷ Tychicus will tell you all the news about me. He is a dear brother, a faithful minister and fellow servant^[a] in the Lord. ⁸ I am sending him to you for the express purpose that you may know about our^[b] 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.
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, who is called Justus, also sends greetings. These are the only Jews^[c] among my co-workers for the kingdom of God, and they have proved a comfort to me. ¹² Epaphras, who is one of you and a servant of Christ Jesus, sends greetings. He is always wrestling in prayer for you, that you may stand firm in all the will of God, mature and fully assured. ¹³ I vouch for him that he is working hard for you and for those at Laodicea and Hierapolis. ¹⁴ Our dear friend Luke, the doctor, and Demas send greetings. ¹⁵ Give my greetings to the brothers and sisters at Laodicea, and to Nympha and the church in her house.
¹⁶ After this letter has been read to you, see that it is also read in the church of the Laodiceans and that you in turn read the letter from Laodicea.
¹⁷ Tell Archippus: “See to it that you complete the ministry you have received in the Lord.”
¹⁸ I, Paul, write this greeting in my own hand. Remember my chains. Grace be with you.

    這裡可以說是新約的人物志，每一個重要的相關人物都在這裡出現！透過這段介紹也看見保羅和同工的恩怨情仇，尤其是和巴拿巴，相信有很好的處理，不然怎麼會提到「巴拿巴的表弟馬可也問你們安」呢？

    真的！我們在事工上有什麼意見不合，不要造成彼此的隔閡，上帝的國度中，大家都是弟兄姊妹，上帝會讓我們有好的相處，讓我們學習彼此接納，並且相信上帝會使屬祂的人生命不斷更新的！不要為過去的刻板印象來對待人，要以上帝的愛彼此接納！

    願我們的名字都記載在生命冊中，讓上帝不斷記念，讓我們可以進入上帝其妙的國度與基督一同做王到永遠！
