• Colossians 4:1-18

  [1] Masters, give to your servants that which is just and equal, knowing that you also have a Master in heaven. [2] Continue steadfastly in prayer, watching therein with thanksgiving; [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] that I may reveal it as I ought to speak. [5] Walk in wisdom toward those who are outside, redeeming the time. [6] Let your speech always be with grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought to answer each one. [7] All my affairs will be made known to you by Tychicus, the beloved brother, faithful servant, and fellow bondservant in the Lord. [8] I am sending him to you for this very purpose, that he may know your circumstances and comfort your hearts, [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. [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"), [11] and Jesus who is called Justus, who are of the circumcision. These are my only fellow workers for the Kingdom of God, men who have been a comfort to me. [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. [13] For I testify about him, that he has great zeal for you, and for those in Laodicea, and for those in Hierapolis. [14] Luke, the beloved physician, and Demas greet you. [15] Greet the brothers who are in Laodicea, and Nymphas, and the assembly that is in his house. [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. [17] Tell Archippus, "Take heed to the ministry which you have received in the Lord, that you fulfill it." [18] The salutation of me, Paul, with my own hand: remember my bonds. Grace be with you. Amen.
