Colossians 4:1-9 ▼

1 Ye masters, doe vnto your seruants, that which is iust, and equall, knowing that ye also haue a master in heauen.

2 Continue in prayer, and watch in the fame with thankesgiuing,

3 Praying also for vs, that God may open vnto vs the doore of vtterance, to speake ye mysterie of Christ: wherefore I am also in bonds,

4 That I may vtter it, as it becommeth mee to speake.

5 Walke wisely towarde them that are without, and redeeme the season.

6 Let your speach be gracious alwayes, and powdred with salt, that ye may know how to answere euery man.

7 Tychicus our beloued brother and faithfull minister, and fellow seruant in the Lord, shall declare vnto you my whole state:

8 Whom I haue sent vnto you for the same purpose that he might know your state, & might comfort your hearts,

9 With Onesimus a faithfull and a beloued brother, who is one of you. They shall shew you of all things here.
