Colossians 4

1Masters, supply your servants with justice and fairness, knowing that you also have a Master in heaven.

2Devote yourselves to prayer, staying alert in it with thanksgiving.

3praying together for us as well, that God may open to us a door for the word to speak the mystery of Christ, for which I am also bound.

4that I may make it known as I must speak.

5Walk in wisdom toward outsiders, redeeming the opportunity.

6Your words must always be gracious, seasoned with salt, so you know how you ought to respond to each person.

7Tychicus, the beloved brother, faithful servant, and fellow servant in the Lord, will inform you of everything concerning me.

8Whom I am sending to you for this purpose, that you may know how things are with us and that he may comfort your hearts.

9with Onesimus, the faithful and beloved brother, who is from among you. They will make known to you all the things here.

10Aristarchus my fellow prisoner greets you, and Mark, Barnabas's cousin (about whom you received commandments—if he comes to you, receive him).

11And Jesus called Justus—who are from the circumcision—these alone are my fellow workers for the kingdom of God, who have become a comfort to me.

12Epaphras, one from among you and servant of Christ, greets you, always striving for you in prayers, that you may stand complete and fully assured in all the will of God.

13For I bear witness to him that he has much toil for you and those in Laodicea and those in Hierapolis.

14Luke, beloved physician, and Demas greet you.

15Greet the brothers in Laodicea, and Nympha and the church in her house.

16And when the letter is read among you, see to it that it is also read in the Laodicean church, and that you also read the one from Laodicea.

17And tell Archippus, "See to the ministry you received in the Lord, that you complete it."

18The greeting by my hand—Paul. Remember my bonds. Grace be with you.
