Colossians 4:1-18
1 Masters, give unto your servants
that which is just and equal; knowing that ye also have a Master in heaven.
2 Continue in prayer, and watch in the
same with thanksgiving; 3 Withal praying also for us, that God would open unto us a door
of utterance, to speak the mystery of Christ, for which I am also in bonds: 4 That I may
make it manifest, as I ought to speak.
5 Walk in wisdom toward them that are
without, redeeming the time. 6 Let your speech be alway with grace, seasoned with
salt, that ye may know how ye ought to answer every man.
7 All my state shall Tychicus declare unto
you, who is a beloved brother, and a faithful minister and fellowservant in the
Lord: 8 Whom I have sent unto you for the same purpose, that he might know your estate,
and comfort your hearts; 9 With Onesimus, a faithful and beloved brother, who is one of
you. They shall make known unto you all things which are done here. 10 Aristarchus
my fellowprisoner saluteth you, and Marcus, sister's son to Barnabas, (touching whom ye
received commandments: if he come unto you, receive him;) 11 And Jesus, which is called
Justus, who are of the circumcision. These only are my fellowworkers unto the
kingdom of God, which have been a comfort unto me. 12 Epaphras, who is one of you,
a servant of Christ, saluteth you, always labouring fervently for you in prayers, that ye
may stand perfect and complete in all the will of God. 13 For I bear him record, that he
hath a great zeal for you, and them that are in Laodicea, and them in Hierapolis.
14 Luke, the beloved physician, and Demas, greet you. 15 Salute the brethren which are in
Laodicea, and Nymphas, and the church which is in his house. 16 And when this epistle is
read among you, cause that it be read also in the church of the Laodiceans; and that ye
likewise read the epistle from Laodicea. 17 And say to Archippus, Take heed to the
ministry which thou hast received in the Lord, that thou fulfil it. 18 The salutation by
the hand of me Paul. Remember my bonds. Grace be with you. Amen.
