ACV - Colossians - 4

4:1  Masters, present to the bondmen what is right and equitable, knowing that ye also have a Master in heavens.

4:2  Continue in prayer, being vigilant in it with thankfulness.

4:3  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,

4:4  so that I may make it known as I ought to speak.

4:5  Walk in wisdom toward those outside, redeeming the time,

4:6  your speech always with grace, seasoned with salt, to know how it is fitting for you to answer each one.

4:7  Tychicus will make known to you all things about me, the beloved brother and faithful helper and fellow bondman in the Lord.

4:8  Whom I sent to you for this same thing, so that he may know the things about you, and may encourage your hearts,

4:9  with Onesimus, the faithful and beloved brother who is of you. They will make known to you all things here.

4:10  Aristarchus my fellow prisoner salutes you, and Mark, the cousin of Barnabas (about whom ye received orders, if he comes to you, welcome him),

4:11  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.

4:12  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.

4:13  For I testify about him, that he has much zeal for you, and those in Laodicea, and those in Hierapolis.

4:14  Luke, the beloved physician, and Demas salute you.

4:15  Salute the brothers in Laodicea, and Nymphas, and the assembly associated with his house.

4:16  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.

4:17  And say to Archippus, Watch the ministry that thou received in the Lord so that thou may fulfill it.

4:18  The salutation of Paul by my hand. Remember my bonds. Grace is with you. Truly.
