Colossians 4

¹Masters, give to bondmen what is just and fair, knowing that ye also have a Master in [the] heavens.

²Persevere in prayer, watching in it with thanksgiving;

³praying at the same time for us also, that God may open to us a door of the word to speak the mystery of Christ, on account of which also I am bound,

⁴to the end that I may make it manifest as I ought to speak.

⁵Walk in wisdom towards those without, redeeming opportunities.

⁶[Let] your word [be] always with grace, seasoned with salt, [so as] to know how ye ought to answer each one.

⁷Tychicus, the beloved brother and faithful minister and fellow-bondman in [the] Lord, will make known to you all that concerns me;

⁸whom I have sent to you for this very purpose, that he might know your state, and that he might encourage your hearts:

⁹with Onesimus, the faithful and beloved brother, who is [one] of you. They shall make known to you everything here.

¹⁰Aristarchus my fellow-captive salutes you, and Mark, Barnabas's cousin, concerning whom ye have received orders, (if he come to you, receive him,)

¹¹and Jesus called Justus, who are of the circumcision. These [are the] only fellow-workers for the kingdom of God who have been a consolation to me.

¹²Epaphras, who is [one] of you, [the] bondman of Christ Jesus, salutes you, always combating earnestly for you in prayers, to the end that ye may stand perfect and complete in all [the] will of God.

¹³For I bear him witness that he labours much for you, and them in Laodicea, and them in Hierapolis.
