‏ Colossians 4

1 Masters, give to bondmen what is just and fair, knowing that ye also have a Master in [the] heavens. 2 Persevere in prayer, watching in it with thanksgiving; 3 praying at the same time for us also, that ^{▼▼4.3 Elohim}God may open to us a door of the word to speak the mystery of Christ, on account of which also I am bound, 4 to the end that I may make it manifest as I ought to speak. 5 Walk 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. 7 Tychicus, the beloved brother and faithful minister and fellow-bondman in [the] Lord, will make known to you all that concerns me; 8 whom I have sent to you for this very purpose, that he might know your state, and that he might encourage your hearts: 9 with Onesimus, the faithful and beloved brother, who is [one] of you. They shall make known to you everything here. 10 Aristarchus my fellow-captive salutes you, and Mark, Barnabas's cousin, concerning whom ye have received orders, (if he come to you, receive him,) 11 and Jesus called Justus, who are of the circumcision. These [are the] only fellow-workers for the kingdom of ^{▼▼4.11 Elohim}God who have been a consolation to me. 12 Epaphras, 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 ^{▼▼4.12 Elohim}God. 13 For I bear him witness that he labours much for you, and them in Laodicea, and them in Hierapolis. 14 Luke, the beloved physician, salutes you, and Demas. 15 Salute the brethren in Laodicea, and Nymphas, and the assembly which [is] in his house. 16 And when the letter has been read among you, cause that it be read also in the assembly of Laodiceans, and that ye also read that from Laodicea. 17 And say to Archippus, Take heed to the ministry which thou hast received in [the] Lord, to the end that thou fulfil it. 18 The salutation by the hand of me Paul. Remember my bonds. Grace [be] with you.
