Chapter 4
4:1 Masters, give to your servants that which is just and fair, knowing that you also have a Master in heaven.
Colossians
4:2 Continue in prayer, and be watchful with thanksgiving,
4:3 while praying also for us, that Elohim would open to us a door of utterance to speak the mystery of the Messiah, for which I am also in chains,
4:4 that I may reveal it clearly, as I ought to speak.
4:5 Walk in wisdom toward those who are outside, wisely using the opportunity.
4:6 Let your speech always be with grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how you should answer everyone.
4:7 Tychicus, who is a beloved brother and a faithful minister and fellow servant in the Master, will tell you all the news about me.
4:8 I have sent him to you for this very purpose, that he might know your circumstances and comfort your hearts,
4:9 with Onesimus, a faithful and beloved brother, who is one of you. They will make known to you everything which is happening here.
4:10 Aristarchus my fellow prisoner greets you, with Mark, the cousin of Barnabas (concerning whom you received instructions: If he comes to you, receive him),
4:11 and Joseph, who is called Justus. These are my only fellow workers for the kingdom of Elohim who are of the circumcision. They have been a comfort to me.
4:12 Epaphras greets you. He is one of you, a servant of the Messiah, always laboring fervently for you in prayers, that you may stand mature and complete in the entire will of Elohim.
4:13 I bear witness of him, that he has a great zeal for you, those who are in Laodicea, and those in Hierapolis.
4:14 Luke, the beloved physician, and Demas greet you.
4:15 Greet the brothers who are in Laodicea, and Nympha, and the Assembly which is in his house.
4:16 When this epistle is read among you, ensure that it is read also in the Assembly of the Laodiceans, and that you, likewise, read the epistle from Laodicea.
4:17 Tell Archippus, “Make sure that you fulfill the ministry which you have received in the Master.”
4:18 I, Paul, write this greeting with my own hand. Remember my chains. Grace be with you. Amen.
