Chapter 4
Colossians
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 in prayer, and watch in the same with thanksgiving;
4:3 At the same time also praying 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 bonds:
4:4 So that I may make it manifest, as I ought to speak.
4:5 Walk in wisdom towards those who are outside, redeeming the time.
4:6 Let your* speech always be with grace, seasoned with salt, so that you* may know how you* ought to answer every man.
4:7 All my state Tychicus shall declare to you*, who is a beloved brother, and a faithful minister and fellow-servant in the Master:
4:8 Whom I have sent to you* for the same purpose, so that he may know your* state, and comfort your* hearts;
4:9 With Onesimus, a faithful and beloved brother, who is one of you*. They will make known to you* all things which are done here.
4:10 Aristarchus, my fellow-prisoner, salutes you*; and Marcus, nephew of Barnabas (concerning whom you* received commandments: if he should come to you*, receive him),
4:11 And Joseph, who is called Justus, who are of the circumcision. These are my only fellow-workers to the kingdom of Elohim, who have been a comfort to me.
4:12 Epaphras, who is one of you*, a servant of the Messiah, salutes you*, always laboring fervently for you* in prayers, so that you* may stand perfect and complete in all the will of Elohim.
4:13 For I bear him testimony, that he has a great zeal for you*, and those who are in Laodicea, and those in Hierapolis.
4:14 Luke, the beloved physician, and Demas, greet you*.
4:15 Salute the brothers who are in Laodicea, and Nymphas, and the assembly which is in his house.
4:16 And when this epistle is read among you*, cause that it also be read in the assembly of the Laodiceans; and that you* likewise read the epistle from Laodicea.
4:17 And say to Archippus, take heed to the ministry which you have received in the Master, that you fulfill it.
4:18 The salutation by the hand of me, Paul. Remember my bonds. May grace be with you*. Amen.
