< Colossians 4 >
1 Ye masters, doe vnto your seruants, that which is iust, and equall, knowing that ye also haue a master in heauen.
상전들아 의와 공평을 종들에게 베풀지니 너희에게도 하늘에 상전이 계심을 알지어다
2 Continue in prayer, and watch in the fame with thankesgiuing,
기도를 항상 힘쓰고 기도에 감사함으로 깨어 있으라
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,
또한 우리를 위하여 기도하되 하나님이 전도할 문을 우리에게 열어주사 그리스도의 비밀을 말하게 하시기를 구하라 내가 이것을 인하여 매임을 당하였노라
4 That I may vtter it, as it becommeth mee to speake.
그리하면 내가 마땅히 할 말로써 이 비밀을 나타내리라
5 Walke wisely towarde them that are without, and redeeme the season.
외인을 향하여서는 지혜로 행하여 세월을 아끼라!
6 Let your speach be gracious alwayes, and powdred with salt, that ye may know how to answere euery man.
너희 말을 항상 은혜 가운데서 소금으로 고루게 함같이 하라 그리하면 각 사람에게 마땅히 대답할 것을 알리라
