Colossians 4
1 The masters: give that which is righteous and equal to the servants, having known that you also have a Master in the heavens.
Domini, quod justum est et æquum, servis præstate: scientes quod et vos Dominum habetis in cælo.
2 Continue in the prayer, watching in it in thanksgiving,
Orationi instate, vigilantes in ea in gratiarum actione:
3 also praying for us at the same time, that God may open to us a door for the word, to speak the secret of the Christ, because of which I have also been bound,
orantes simul et pro nobis, ut Deus aperiat nobis ostium sermonis ad loquendum mysterium Christi (propter quod etiam vinctus sum),
4 that I may reveal it, as it is necessary for me to speak.
ut manifestem illud ita ut oportet me loqui.
5 Walk in wisdom toward those outside, redeeming the time,
In sapientia ambulate ad eos, qui foris sunt: tempus redimentes.
6 your word always being seasoned with salt in grace—to know how it is necessary for you to answer each one.
Sermo vester semper in gratia sale sit conditus, ut sciatis quomodo oporteat vos unicuique respondere.
7 Tychicus will make known to you all the things concerning me—the beloved brother, and faithful servant, and fellow-servant in the LORD—
Quæ circa me sunt, omnia vobis nota faciet Tychicus, carissimus frater, et fidelis minister, et conservus in Domino:
8 whom I sent to you for this very thing, that he might know the things concerning you, and might comfort your hearts,
quem misi ad vos ad hoc ipsum, ut cognoscat quæ circa vos sunt, et consoletur corda vestra,
9 with Onesimus the faithful and beloved brother, who is of you; they will make known to you all things that [are] here.
cum Onesimo carissimo, et fideli fratre, qui ex vobis est. Omnia, quæ hic aguntur, nota facient vobis.
10 Aristarchus greets you, my fellow-captive, and Marcus, the nephew of Barnabas (concerning whom you received commands—if he may come to you, receive him),
Salutat vos Aristarchus concaptivus meus, et Marcus consobrinus Barnabæ, de quo accepistis mandata: si venerit ad vos, excipite illum:
11 and Jesus who is called Justus, who are of circumcision: these [are the] only fellow-workers for the Kingdom of God who become a comfort to me.
et Jesus, qui dicitur Justus: qui sunt ex circumcisione: hi soli sunt adjutores mei in regno Dei, qui mihi fuerunt solatio.
12 Epaphras greets you, who [is] of you, a servant of Christ, always striving for you in the prayers, that you may stand perfect and made full in all the will of God,
Salutat vos Epaphras, qui ex vobis est, servus Christi Jesu, semper sollicitus pro vobis in orationibus, ut stetis perfecti, et pleni in omni voluntate Dei.
13 for I testify to him that he has much zeal for you, and those in Laodicea, and those in Hierapolis.
Testimonium enim illi perhibeo quod habet multum laborem pro vobis, et pro iis qui sunt Laodiciæ, et qui Hierapoli.
14 Lucas greets you, the beloved physician, and Demas;
Salutat vos Lucas, medicus carissimus, et Demas.
15 those in Laodicea greet you—brothers, and Nymphas, and the assembly in his house;
Salutate fratres, qui sunt Laodiciæ, et Nympham, et quæ in domo ejus est, ecclesiam.
16 and when the letter may be read with you, cause that it may also be read in the assembly of the Laodiceans, and the [letter] from Laodicea that you also may read;
Et cum lecta fuerit apud vos epistola hæc, facite ut et in Laodicensium ecclesia legatur: et eam, quæ Laodicensium est, vos legatis.
17 and say to Archippus, “See to the ministry that you received in the LORD, that you may fulfill it.”
Et dicite Archippo: Vide ministerium, quod accepisti in Domino, ut illud impleas.
18 The salutation [is] by my hand, Paul. Remember my bonds. The grace [is] with you! Amen.
Salutatio, mea manu Pauli. Memores estote vinculorum meorum. Gratia vobiscum. Amen.
