Colossians Chapter 4 Back{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
Christ, 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
Jesus who is called
Justus. These are my only fellow workers for the
Kingdom of God who are of the
circumcision, men who have been a comfort to me.
{4:12}
Epaphras, who is one of you, a servant of Christ, 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.
