COLOSSIANS 4:7-10
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. 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.)

 

COLOSSIANS 4:11-14
11 Jesus, who is called Justus, also sends greetings. These are the only
Jews 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.

 

COLOSSIANS 4:15-18
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.

 

LUKE 22:7-13
7 Then came the day of Unleavened Bread on which the Passover
lamb had to be sacrificed. 8 Jesus sent Peter and John, saying, “Go
and make preparations for us to eat the Passover.” 9 “Where do you
want us to prepare for it?” they asked. 10 He replied, “As you enter
the city, a man carrying a jar of water will meet you. Follow him to
the house that he enters, 11 and say to the owner of the house, ‘The
Teacher asks: Where is the guest room, where I may eat the Passover
with my disciples?’ 12 He will show you a large room upstairs, all
furnished. Make preparations there.” 13 They left and found things
just as Jesus had told them. So they prepared the Passover.

 

COLOSSIANS 4:7-9
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.

 

PHILEMON 1:1-5
1 Paul, a prisoner of Christ Jesus, and Timothy our brother, to Philemon our
dear friend and fellow worker - 2 also to Apphia our sister and Archippus
our fellow soldier - and to the church that meets in your home: 3 Grace and
peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. 4 I always
thank my God as I remember you in my prayers, 5 because I hear about your
love for all his holy people and your faith in the Lord Jesus.

 

PHILEMON 1:8-13
8 Therefore, although in Christ I could be bold and order you to do what you
ought to do, 9 yet I prefer to appeal to you on the basis of love. It is as none
other than Paul - an old man and now also a prisoner of Christ Jesus - 10 that
I appeal to you for my son Onesimus, who became my son while I was in
chains. 11 Formerly he was useless to you, but now he has become
useful both to you and to me. 12 I am sending him - who is my very heart -
back to you. 13 I would have liked to keep him with me so that he could take
your place in helping me while I am in chains for the gospel.

 

PHILEMON 1:17-18; 21
17 So if you consider me a partner, welcome him as you would welcome
me. 18 If he has done you any wrong or owes you anything, charge it to
me. 21 Confident of your obedience, I write to you, knowing that you will
do even more than I ask.
