Aristarchus, my fellow prisoner, sends his greetings, as does Mark, the cousin of Barnabas. You have received instructions about him. If he comes to you, welcome him.
Brothers, we ask you to show your appreciation for those who work among you, set an example for you in the Lord, and instruct you. Hold them in the highest regard, loving them because of their work. Live in peace with each other.
Remember your leaders, those who have spoken God's word to you. Think about the impact of their lives, and imitate their faith.

Then Moses called on Joshua and told him in the presence of everyone in Israel, "Be strong and courageous, because you'll bring this people to the land that the LORD your God had promised to give your ancestors. You will be the one who causes them to possess it.
However, Nun's son Joshua, your assistant, will go there. Encourage him, for he will cause Israel to take possession of it.
Therefore charge Joshua to be doubly strong, because he will lead this people and cause them to inherit the land that you'll see.'
For the lips of a priest should preserve knowledge, and people should seek instruction from his mouth, because he's the messenger of the LORD of the Heavenly Armies.
Imitate me, as I do the Messiah. I praise you for remembering everything I told you and for holding to the traditions that I passed on to you.
Now I urge you, brothers for you know that the members of the family of Stephanas were the first converts in Achaia, and that they have devoted themselves to serving the saints to submit yourselves to people like these and to anyone else who shares their labor and hard work.
Join together in imitating me, brothers, and pay close attention to those who live by the example we have set for you.
Continue to follow and be submissive to your leaders, since they are watching over your souls as those who will have to give a word of explanation. By doing this, you will be letting them carry out their duties joyfully, and not with grief, for that would be harmful for you. Pray for us, for we are sure that we have a clear conscience and desire to live honorably in every way.
