< 골로새서 4 >
1 상전들아 의와 공평을 종들에게 베풀지니 너희에게도 하늘에 상전이 계심을 알지어다
Masters, present to the bondmen what is right and equitable, knowing that ye also have a Master in heavens.
2 기도를 항상 힘쓰고 기도에 감사함으로 깨어 있으라
Continue in prayer, being vigilant in it with thankfulness.
3 또한 우리를 위하여 기도하되 하나님이 전도할 문을 우리에게 열어주사 그리스도의 비밀을 말하게 하시기를 구하라 내가 이것을 인하여 매임을 당하였노라
Praying simultaneously about us also, so that God may open to us a door of the word, to speak the mystery of the Christ, because of which I have also been bound,
4 그리하면 내가 마땅히 할 말로써 이 비밀을 나타내리라
so that I may make it known as I ought to speak.
5 외인을 향하여서는 지혜로 행하여 세월을 아끼라!
Walk in wisdom toward those outside, redeeming the time,
6 너희 말을 항상 은혜 가운데서 소금으로 고루게 함같이 하라 그리하면 각 사람에게 마땅히 대답할 것을 알리라
your speech always with grace, seasoned with salt, to know how it is fitting for you to answer each one.
7 두기고가 내 사정을 다 너희에게 알게 하리니 그는 사랑을 받는 형제요 신실한 일군이요 주 안에서 함께 된 종이라
Tychicus will make known to you all things about me, the beloved brother and faithful helper and fellow bondman in the Lord.
8 내가 저를 특별히 너희에게 보낸 것은 너희로 우리 사정을 알게 하고 너희 마음을 위로하게 하려 함이라
Whom I sent to you for this same thing, so that he may know the things about you, and may encourage your hearts,
9 신실하고 사랑을 받는 형제 오네시모를 함께 보내노니 그는 너희에게서 온 사람이라 저희가 여기 일을 다 너희에게 알게 하리라
with Onesimus, the faithful and beloved brother who is of you. They will make known to you all things here.
Aristarchus my fellow prisoner salutes you, and Mark, the cousin of Barnabas (about whom ye received orders, if he comes to you, welcome him),
and Jesus who is called Justus, these being the only fellow workmen from the circumcision for the kingdom of God, men who became a comfort to me.
Epaphras, the bondman of Christ from you, salutes you, always striving for you in prayers, so that ye may stand perfect and made full in all the will of God.
For I testify about him, that he has much zeal for you, and those in Laodicea, and those in Hierapolis.
Luke, the beloved physician, and Demas salute you.
Salute the brothers in Laodicea, and Nymphas, and the assembly associated with his house.
And when the letter has been read among you, cause that it be read also in the congregation of Laodiceans, and that ye also read the one from Laodicea.
And say to Archippus, Watch the ministry that thou received in the Lord so that thou may fulfill it.
The salutation of Paul by my hand. Remember my bonds. Grace is with you. Truly.
