Grüße und Segenswünsche

7 Wie es um mich steht, wird euch alles Tychikus berichten, der liebe Bruder und treue Diener und Mitknecht in dem Herrn, 8 den ich darum zu euch sende, dass ihr erfahrt, wie es uns ergeht, und damit er eure Herzen tröste. (Eph 6,21) 9 Mit ihm sende ich Onesimus, den treuen und lieben Bruder, der einer der Euren ist. Wie es hier um uns steht, werden sie euch alles berichten. (Phlm 1,10) 10 Es grüßen euch Aristarch, mein Mitgefangener, und Markus, der Vetter des Barnabas – seinetwegen habt ihr schon Weisungen empfangen; wenn er zu euch kommt, nehmt ihn auf –, (Apg 12,12; Apg 12,25; Apg 19,29; Apg 27,2; Phlm 1,23)

11 und Jesus mit dem Beinamen Justus. Von denen aus der Beschneidung sind sie allein meine Mitarbeiter am Reich Gottes, und sie sind mir ein Trost geworden. 12 Es grüßt euch Epaphras, der einer von den Euren ist, ein Knecht Christi Jesu, der allezeit in seinen Gebeten für euch ringt, auf dass ihr fest steht, vollkommen und erfüllt mit allem, was Gottes Wille ist.

(2Tim 4,10; Phlm 1,24) 15 Grüßt die Brüder und Schwestern in Laodizea und Nympha und die Gemeinde in ihrem Hause. 16 Und wenn der Brief bei euch gelesen ist, so sorgt dafür, dass er auch in der Gemeinde von Laodizea gelesen wird und dass ihr auch den von Laodizea lest. 17 Und sagt dem Archippus: Sieh auf das Amt, das du empfangen hast in dem Herrn, dass du es ausfüllst! (Phlm 1,2) 18 Mein Gruß mit meiner, des Paulus, Hand. Gedenkt meiner Fesseln! Die Gnade sei mit euch! (1Kor 16,21; Gal 6,11; 2Thess 3,17)

King James Version

1 Masters, give unto your servants that which is just and equal; knowing that ye also have a Master in heaven. 2 Continue in prayer, and watch in the same with thanksgiving; 3 Withal praying also for us, that God would open unto us a door of utterance, to speak the mystery of Christ, for which I am also in bonds: 4 That I may make it manifest, as I ought to speak. 5 Walk in wisdom toward them that are without, redeeming the time. 6 Let your speech be alway with grace, seasoned with salt, that ye may know how ye ought to answer every man. 7 All my state shall Tychicus declare unto you, who is a beloved brother, and a faithful minister and fellowservant in the Lord: 8 Whom I have sent unto you for the same purpose, that he might know your estate, and comfort your hearts; 9 With Onesimus, a faithful and beloved brother, who is one of you. They shall make known unto you all things which are done here. 10 Aristarchus my fellowprisoner saluteth you, and Marcus, sister's son to Barnabas, (touching whom ye received commandments: if he come unto you, receive him;) 11 And Jesus, which is called Justus, who are of the circumcision. These only are my fellow workers unto the kingdom of God, which have been a comfort unto me. 12 Epaphras, who is one of you, a servant of Christ, saluteth you, always labouring fervently for you in prayers, that ye may stand perfect and complete in all the will of God. 13 For I bear him record, that he hath a great zeal for you, and them that are in Laodicea, and them in Hierapolis. 14 Luke, the beloved physician, and Demas, greet you. 15 Salute the brethren which are in Laodicea, and Nymphas, and the church which is in his house. 16 And when this epistle is read among you, cause that it be read also in the church of the Laodiceans; and that ye likewise read the epistle from Laodicea. 17 And say to Archippus, Take heed to the ministry which thou hast received in the Lord, that thou fulfil it. 18 The salutation by the hand of me Paul. Remember my bonds. Grace be with you. Amen.

New International Version

von Biblica

1 Masters, provide your slaves with what is right and fair, because you know that you also have a Master in heaven.

Further instructions

2 Devote yourselves to prayer, being watchful and thankful. 3 And pray for us, too, that God may open a door for our message, so that we may proclaim the mystery of Christ, for which I am in chains. 4 Pray that I may proclaim it clearly, as I should. 5 Be wise in the way you act towards outsiders; make the most of every opportunity. 6 Let your conversation be always full of grace, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how to answer everyone.

Final greetings

7 Tychicus will tell you all the news about me. He is a dear brother, a faithful minister and fellow servant^[1] in the Lord. 8 I am sending him to you for the express purpose that you may know about our^[2] 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^[3] among my fellow 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.
