Therefore, God’s chosen ones, holy and loved, put on heartfelt compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience,

Tychicus, our dearly loved brother, faithful servant, and fellow slave in the Lord, will tell you all the news about me.

He is with Onesimus, a faithful and dearly loved brother, who is one of you. They will tell you about everything here.

Luke, the dearly loved physician, and Demas greet you.
