< 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*)
2 In prayer do continue steadfastly watching in it with thanksgiving;
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,
4 so that I may make clear it as it behooves me to speak.
5 In wisdom do walk toward those outside the time redeeming.
6 [Let] the speech of you [be] always in grace, with salt seasoned, to know how it behooves you one each to answer.
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,
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,
9 with Onesimus the faithful and beloved brother, who is [one] of you; All things to you they will make known here.
10 Greets you Aristarchus the fellow prisoner of mine and Mark the cousin of Barnabas, concerning whom you have received instructions: if he shall come to you, do welcome him;
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.
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.
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.
14 Greets you Luke the physician beloved and also Demas.
15 do greet the in Laodicea brothers and also (Nympha *N(K)O*) and the in house (of her *N(K)(o)*) church.
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.
17 And do say to Archippus; do take heed to the ministry that you have received in [the] Lord, that it you may fulfill.
18 The greeting in my own hand — by Paul. do remember my chains. Grace [be] with you (Amen. *KO*) (to Colossian it was written from Rome through Tychicus and Onesimus. *K*)
