Colossians 4
1 Masters, deal out to your bond-servants justice and equity, knowing that ye 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 Persevere in prayer, being watchful therein with thanksgiving;
τη προσευχη προσκαρτερειτε γρηγορουντες εν αυτη εν ευχαριστια
3 praying at the same time for us also, that God may open to us a door for the word, to speak the mystery of Christ, for the sake of 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 make it manifest, as I ought to speak.
ινα φανερωσω αυτο ως δει με λαλησαι
5 Walk in wisdom toward them that are without, buying up opportunities.
εν σοφια περιπατειτε προς τους εξω τον καιρον εξαγοραζομενοι
6 Let your speech be always with grace, seasoned with salt, that ye may know how ye ought to answer every one.
ο λογος υμων παντοτε εν χαριτι αλατι ηρτυμενος ειδεναι πως δει υμας ενι εκαστω αποκρινεσθαι
7 Of all my affairs Tychicus will inform you, the beloved brother and faithful minister and fellow-servant in the Lord;
τα κατ εμε παντα γνωρισει υμιν τυχικος ο αγαπητος αδελφος και πιστος διακονος και συνδουλος εν κυριω
8 whom I have sent to you for this very purpose, that he may know your condition, 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 inform you of every thing here.
συν ονησιμω τω πιστω και αγαπητω αδελφω ος εστιν εξ υμων παντα υμιν γνωριουσιν τα ωδε
10 Aristarchus, my fellow-prisoner, saluteth you, and Mark, the cousin of Barnabas, concerning whom ye received directions (if he come 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; who are of the circumcision; these only are my fellow-workers for the kingdom of God, who have been an encouragement unto 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 Jesus, saluteth you, always striving for you in his prayers, that ye may stand perfect and fully assured 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 bear him witness, that he hath much labor for you, and those that are in Laodicea, and 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, salute you.
ασπαζεται υμας λουκας ο ιατρος ο αγαπητος και δημας
15 Salute the brethren which are in Laodicea, and Nymphas, and the church in his house.
ασπασασθε τους εν λαοδικεια αδελφους και νυμφαν και την κατ οικον αυτου εκκλησιαν
16 And when the letter hath been read among you, cause that it be read also in the church of the Laodiceans, and that ye likewise 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 And say to Archippus, Take heed to the ministry which thou hast received in the Lord, that thou fulfill it.
και ειπατε αρχιππω βλεπε την διακονιαν ην παρελαβες εν κυριω ινα αυτην πληροις
18 The salutation by the hand of me, Paul. Remember my bonds. Grace be with you.
ο ασπασμος τη εμη χειρι παυλου μνημονευετε μου των δεσμων η χαρις μεθ υμων αμην [προς κολασσαεις εγραφη απο ρωμης δια τυχικου και ονησιμου]
