Conclusion of the Epistle to the Colossians. Greetings and encouragement, as well as some personal instructions to the co-workers.
It has been suggested that the Epistle to the Laodiceans is actually the same as Paul's Epistle to the Ephesians.
Luke is an apostle and evangelist, my beloved Saint. See more here:

Luke XII, 5 — 'εμβαλειν' — 'embalein' — 'to throw' ('to throw into').
Luke XII, 8 — 'εμοι' — 'emoi' — (in) 'Me' (Me). 'εμπροσθεν' — 'emprosthen' — 'before; in front of the face'. Literally close to whoever glorifies Me (in Me)… I will glorify them (in them).
There is a good and detailed commentary on verses 4-5 here:

For the parallel passage in Matthew (Matthew X, 19, 23-31), see the following links:
