Colossians 4:1-9 ▼

1 as for you, masters, give to your servants what is just and suitable: considering that you also have a master in heaven.

2 Persevere and be vigilant in prayer and in thanksgiving:

3 put up your requests likewise for me, that God would give me an opportunity to declare the mystery of Christ (for which I am even in bonds:)

4 that I may publish it in the manner, it should necessarily be done.

5 Be prudent in your conduct to those, who are not christians: and make the best of of every opportunity.

6 let an air of modesty appear in all your discourse; and let it be seasoned with discretion, in making a proper reply, when you are call'd into question.

7 As to what relates to me, you will be inform'd of it by Tychicus my dear brother, who is a faithful minister of the Lord, and serves him with me.

8 I sent him on purpose to acquaint you with my circumstances, and give you matter of comfort.

9 I have sent him with Onesimus a faithful and beloved brother, who is of your city: they will inform you of what passes here.
