< Colossians 4 >
1 you who [are] Masters, that which [is] righteous and that which [is] equal to the slaves do give knowing that also you yourselves have a Master in (heaven. *N(k)O*)
domini quod iustum est et aequum servis praestate scientes quoniam et vos Dominum habetis in caelo
2 In prayer do continue steadfastly watching in it with thanksgiving;
orationi instate vigilantes in ea in gratiarum actione
3 praying at the same time also for us that God may open to us a door for the word to declare the mystery of Christ, on account of which also I have been bound,
orantes simul et pro nobis ut Deus aperiat nobis ostium sermonis ad loquendum mysterium Christi propter quod etiam vinctus sum
4 so that I may make clear it as it behooves me to speak.
ut manifestem illud ita ut oportet me loqui
5 In wisdom do walk toward those outside the time redeeming.
in sapientia ambulate ad eos qui foris sunt tempus redimentes

sermo vester semper in gratia sale sit conditus ut sciatis quomodo oporteat vos unicuique respondere
7 The [things] concerning me myself all will make known to you Tychicus the beloved brother and faithful servant and fellow bond-servant in [the] Lord,
quae 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 purpose that (you may know *N(K)(O)*) the [things] concerning (us *N(K)O*) and he may encourage the hearts of you,
quem misi ad vos ad hoc ipsum ut cognoscat quae circa vos sunt et consoletur corda vestra
9 with Onesimus the faithful and beloved brother, who is [one] of you; All things to you they will make known here.

11 and also Jesus who is being named Justus, those being among [the] circumcision these only fellow workers for the kingdom of God, who have been to me a comfort.
et Iesus qui dicitur Iustus qui sunt ex circumcisione hii soli sunt adiutores in regno Dei qui mihi fuerunt solacio
12 Greets you Epaphras who [is] [one] of you, a servant of Christ (Jesus, *NO*) always struggling for you in the prayers, so that (you may be stood *N(k)O*) mature and (fully complete *N(k)O*) in all [the] will of God.
salutat vos Epaphras qui ex vobis est servus Christi Iesu semper sollicitus pro vobis in orationibus ut stetis perfecti et pleni in omni voluntate Dei
13 I bear witness for to him that he has great (labour *N(K)O*) for you and those in Laodicea and [those] of them in Hiera polis.

16 And when may be read among you the letter, do cause that also in the of [the] Laodiceans church it may be read, and the [one] from Laodicea that also you yourselves may read.
et cum lecta fuerit apud vos epistula facite ut et in Laodicensium ecclesia legatur et eam quae Laodicensium est vos legatis
17 And do say to Archippus; do take heed to the ministry that you have received in [the] Lord, that it you may fulfill.
et dicite Archippo vide ministerium quod accepisti in Domino ut illud impleas
