United in the gospel, Partners for Christ (Colossians 4:7-18)

1. Tychicus: The one sent to evangelize the world, returns to encourage the church (4:7-9)
   
2. The few Jews (Aristarchus, Mark, Justus): The remaining chosen few become the few choosing to remain (4:10-11)
3. Epaphras: The one who teaches the gospel faithfully, prays for faithfulness to the gospel (4:12-13, 1:7)
4. Luke: The one who uses his profession to support the gospel, is known for his profession in proclaiming the gospel (4:14)
5. Paul: The one who proclaims the sufferings of Christ, suffers for the propagation of Christ (4:18, 1:24-27)

²⁸We proclaim him, admonishing and teaching everyone with all wisdom, so that we may present everyone perfect in Christ. ²⁹To this end I labor, struggling with all his energy, which so powerfully works in me.
