Paul's Letter to the Colossians, Chapter 4
{4:1} Masters, give to your servants that which is just and equal,
knowing that you also have a Master in heaven.
{4:2} Continue steadfastly in prayer, watching therein with
thanksgiving; {4:3} praying together for us also, that God may open to
us a door for the word, to speak the mystery of Messiah, for which I
am also in bonds; {4:4} that I may reveal it as I ought to speak.
{4:5} Walk in wisdom toward those who are outside, redeeming the time.
{4:6} Let your speech always be with grace, seasoned with salt, that
you may know how you ought to answer each one.
{4:7} All my affairs will be made known to you by Tychicus, the
beloved brother, faithful servant, and fellow bondservant in the Lord.
{4:8} I am sending him to you for this very purpose, that he may know
your circumstances and comfort your hearts, {4:9} together with
Onesimus, the faithful and beloved brother, who is one of you. They
will make known to you everything that is going on here. {4:10}
Aristarchus, my fellow prisoner greets you, and Mark, the cousin of
Barnabas (concerning whom you received commandments, "if he comes to
you, receive him"), {4:11} and Yeshua who is called Justus, who are of
the circumcision. These are my only fellow workers for the Kingdom of
God, men who have been a comfort to me.
{4:12} Epaphras, who is one of you, a servant of Messiah, salutes
you, always striving for you in his prayers, that you may stand
perfect and complete in all the will of God. {4:13} For I testify
about him, that he has great zeal for you, and for those in Laodicea,
and for those in Hierapolis. {4:14} Luke, the beloved physician, and
Demas greet you. {4:15} Greet the brothers who are in Laodicea, and
Nymphas, and the assembly that is in his house. {4:16} When this
letter has been read among you, cause it to be read also in the
assembly of the Laodiceans; and that you also read the letter from
Laodicea. {4:17} Tell Archippus, "Take heed to the ministry which you
have received in the Lord, that you fulfill it."
{4:18} The salutation of me, Paul, with my own hand: remember my
bonds. Grace be with you. Amen.
