Chapter 4

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. [Written from Rome to Colossians by Tychicus and Onesimus.]
