Colossians 4
1 Masters, give to your servants that which is just and equal, knowing that you also have a Master in heaven.
οι κυριοι το δικαιον και την ισοτητα τοις δουλοις παρεχεσθε ειδοτες οτι και υμεις εχετε κυριον εν ουρανοις
2 Continue steadfastly in prayer, watching in it with thanksgiving,
τη προσευχη προσκαρτερειτε γρηγορουντες εν αυτη εν ευχαριστια
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,
προσευχομενοι αμα και περι ημων ινα ο θεος ανοιξη ημιν θυραν του λογου λαλησαι το μυστηριον του χριστου δι ο και δεδεμαι
4 that I may reveal it as I ought to speak.
ινα φανερωσω αυτο ως δει με λαλησαι
5 Walk in wisdom toward those who are outside, redeeming the time.
εν σοφια περιπατειτε προς τους εξω τον καιρον εξαγοραζομενοι
6 Let your speech always be with grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought to answer each one.
ο λογος υμων παντοτε εν χαριτι αλατι ηρτυμενος ειδεναι πως δει υμας ενι εκαστω αποκρινεσθαι
7 All my affairs will be made known to you by Tychicus, the beloved brother, faithful servant, and fellow bondservant in the Lord.
τα κατ εμε παντα γνωρισει υμιν τυχικος ο αγαπητος αδελφος και πιστος διακονος και συνδουλος εν κυριω
8 I am sending him to you for this very purpose, that he may know your circumstances and comfort your hearts,
ον επεμψα προς υμας εις αυτο τουτο ινα γνω τα περι υμων και παρακαλεση τας καρδιας υμων
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.
συν ονησιμω τω πιστω και αγαπητω αδελφω ος εστιν εξ υμων παντα υμιν γνωριουσιν τα ωδε
10 Aristarchus, my fellow prisoner, greets you, and Mark the cousin of Barnabas (concerning whom you received instructions, “if he comes to you, receive him”),
ασπαζεται υμας αρισταρχος ο συναιχμαλωτος μου και μαρκος ο ανεψιος βαρναβα περι ου ελαβετε εντολας εαν ελθη προς υμας δεξασθε αυτον
11 and Jesus who is called Justus. These are my only fellow workers for God’s Kingdom who are of the circumcision, men who have been a comfort to me.
και ιησους ο λεγομενος ιουστος οι οντες εκ περιτομης ουτοι μονοι συνεργοι εις την βασιλειαν του θεου οιτινες εγενηθησαν μοι παρηγορια
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.
ασπαζεται υμας επαφρας ο εξ υμων δουλος χριστου παντοτε αγωνιζομενος υπερ υμων εν ταις προσευχαις ινα στητε τελειοι και πεπληρωμενοι εν παντι θεληματι του θεου
13 For I testify about him that he has great zeal for you, and for those in Laodicea, and for those in Hierapolis.
μαρτυρω γαρ αυτω οτι εχει ζηλον πολυν υπερ υμων και των εν λαοδικεια και των εν ιεραπολει
14 Luke the beloved physician and Demas greet you.
ασπαζεται υμας λουκας ο ιατρος ο αγαπητος και δημας
15 Greet the brothers who are in Laodicea, with Nymphas and the assembly that is in his house.
ασπασασθε τους εν λαοδικεια αδελφους και νυμφαν και την κατ οικον αυτου εκκλησιαν
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.
και οταν αναγνωσθη παρ υμιν η επιστολη ποιησατε ινα και εν τη λαοδικεων εκκλησια αναγνωσθη και την εκ λαοδικειας ινα και υμεις αναγνωτε
17 Tell Archippus, “Take heed to the ministry which you have received in the Lord, that you fulfill it.”
και ειπατε αρχιππω βλεπε την διακονιαν ην παρελαβες εν κυριω ινα αυτην πληροις
18 I, Paul, write this greeting with my own hand. Remember my chains. Grace be with you. Amen.
ο ασπασμος τη εμη χειρι παυλου μνημονευετε μου των δεσμων η χαρις μεθ υμων αμην [ προς κολοσσαεις εγραφη απο ρωμης δια τυχικου και ονησιμου ]
