Pray for stand firm in all the will of God, mature and fully assured

Colossians 4:7-18

Tychicus will tell you all the news about me. He is a dear brother, a faithful minister and fellow servant in the Lord. I am sending him to you for the express purpose that you may know about our circumstances and that he may encourage your hearts. He is coming with Onesimus, our faithful and dear brother, who is one of you. They will tell you everything that is happening here.

My fellow prisoner Aristarchus sends you his greetings, as does Mark, the cousin of Barnabas. 

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. I vouch for him that he is working hard for you and for those at Laodicea and Hierapolis. Our dear friend Luke, the doctor, and Demas send greetings. Give my greetings to the brothers and sisters at Laodicea, and to Nympha and the church in her house.

I, Paul, write this greeting in my own hand. Remember my chains. Grace be with you.

Why?

Pray what: Epaphras, pray for them, that you may stand firm in all the will of God, mature and fully assured.

All Christians should like Tychicus, be faithful ministers and fellow servants in the Lord.

Knowledge is good but could not replace Jesus Christ, this is the circumstance of Colossians facing on.

Jesus Christ is our source of eternal life and love and faith.

1. 推基古，阿尼西母告訴他們一切的事。

    自己的生活等不怕別人知道！向弟兄姊妹敞開。我們對這個團體沒有安全感時就無法敞開。求主幫助我們在教會弟兄姊妹面前能夠看為自己人。

每個同工都有神要用的地方。

以巴弗為你們和老底嘉並希拉波立的弟兄多多的勞苦，這是我可以給他作見證的。表示別人不知道，保羅知道。

亞里達古與保羅一同坐監，不要以為保羅在監獄很快樂，有亞里達古的協助，保羅減輕許多苦！

猶士都，馬可，亞里達古都是猶太人。這裏在告訴猶太人，不要以為是猶太人就高人一等。

以巴弗是禱告的人，保羅為他做見證，很有國度觀。

亞基布是保羅的同工，務要謹慎，因為當時異端教導敬拜神之前要敬拜天使。

How?

Pray for me to be faithful to the Lord, and be a fellow servant in the Lord.
