Colossians 4:1-9 ▼

1 Masters, supply your slaves with what is right and fair, since you know that you too have a Master in heaven.

2 Devote yourselves to prayer; stay alert in it with thanksgiving.

3 At the same time, pray also for us that God may open a door to us for the message, to speak the mystery of the Messiah, for which I am in prison,

4 so that I may reveal it as I am required to speak.

5 Act wisely toward outsiders, making the most of the time.

6 Your speech should always be gracious, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how you should answer each person.

7 Tychicus, our dearly loved brother, faithful servant, and fellow slave in the Lord, will tell you all the news about me.

8 I have sent him to you for this very purpose, so that you may know how we are and so that he may encourage your hearts.

9 He is with Onesimus, a faithful and dearly loved brother, who is one of you. They will tell you about everything here.
