Colossians 4
1 Masters, give to your servants that which is just and equal; knowing that ye also have a Master in heaven.
ⲁ̅ⲛ̅ϫⲓⲥⲟⲟⲩⲉ ⲁⲣⲓⲡⲇⲓⲕⲁⲓⲟⲛ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡϣⲱϣ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲧⲛ̅ϩⲙ̅ϩⲁⲗ. ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ϫⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲱⲧⲛ̅ ϩⲱⲧⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ̅ ⲟⲩⲛ̅ⲧⲏⲧⲛ̅ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ϩⲛ̅ⲧⲡⲉ.
2 Continue in prayer, and watch in the same with thanksgiving;

3 At the same time praying also for us, that God would open to us a door of utterance, to speak the mystery of Christ, for which I am also in bonds:
ⲅ̅ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ϣⲗⲏⲗ; ϩⲱⲱⲛ ϩⲁⲣⲟⲛ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲁⲥ ⲉⲣⲉⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲟⲩⲱⲛ ⲛⲁⲛ ⲙ̅ⲡⲣⲟ ⲙ̅ⲡϣⲁϫⲉ ⲉⲧⲉⲣⲉⲛϫⲱ ⲙ̅ⲡⲙⲩⲥⲧⲏⲣⲓⲟⲛ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ. ⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲉϯⲙⲏⲣ ⲉⲧⲃⲏⲏⲧϥ̅
4 That I may make it clear, as I ought to speak.

5 Walk in wisdom toward them that are outside the church, redeeming the time.

6 Let your speech be always with grace, seasoned with salt, that ye may know how ye ought to answer every man.
