Colossians 4:1-9 ▼

1 Masters, show to your slaves what is right and fair, knowing that you too have a Master in heaven.

2 Devote yourselves to prayer, being watchful in it with thanksgiving;

3 praying at the same time for us as well, that God will open up to us a door for the word, so that we may speak the mystery of Christ, for which I have also been bound,

4 that I may make it manifest in the way I ought to speak.

5 Walk in wisdom toward outsiders, redeeming the time.

6 Let your words always be with grace, seasoned with salt, so that you will know how you should answer each person.

7 Tychicus, our beloved brother and faithful servant and fellow slave in the Lord, will make known to you all my affairs,

8 whom I have sent to you for this very purpose, that you may know about our circumstances and that he may encourage your hearts;

9 and with him Onesimus, our faithful and beloved brother, who is one of you. They will inform you about the whole situation here.
