Masters, afford to your servants what is just and equal, knowing that you also have a Master in the heavens.

3 Ku kuma yi mana addu’a, mu ma, don Allah yă buɗe ƙofa saboda saƙonmu, don mu iya yin shelar asirin Kiristi, wanda saboda shi nake cikin sarƙoƙi.
at the same time, also, praying for us, that God would open to us a door of utterance, to speak the secret of Christ, for which, indeed, I am in bonds;
4 Ku yi addu’a yadda zan yi shelarsa, yadda ya kamata.
that I may make it manifest, as I ought to speak.
5 Ku zama masu hikima a yadda kuke ma’amala da waɗanda suke ba masu bi ba; ku kuma yi amfani da kowane zarafi.
Walk in wisdom toward them who are without, gaining time.
