Anderson - Colossians - 4

4:1  Masters, give to your servants what is just and equal, for you know that you have a Master in heaven.

4:2  Persevere in prayer, and be watchful in the same with thanksgiving;

4:3  praying at the same time also for us, that God may open for us a door of utterance to speak the mystery of the Christ, for which I am in bonds,

4:4  that I may make it manifest, as I ought to speak.

4:5  Walk in wisdom toward those who are without, redeeming the time.

4:6  Let your speech be always with grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought to answer every one.

4:7  All that relates to me, Tychicus, my beloved brother and faithful minister and fellow-servant in the Lord, will make known to you.

4:8  I have sent him to you for this very purpose, that he may know your condition, and comfort your hearts;

4:9  I have sent him with Onesimus, my faithful and beloved brother, who is one of you. They will make known all things that are done here.

4:10  Aristarchus, my fellow-prisoner, salutes you, and so does Marcus the nephew of Barnabas, concerning whom you received commandments; if he come to you, receive him;

4:11  Jesus also, who is called Justus, salutes you: these are of the circumcision: and these only are my fellow-workers for the kingdom of God, who have been a comfort to me.

4:12  Epaphras, who is one of you, a servant of Christ, salutes you; he always strives earnestly for you in his prayers, that you may stand perfect and complete in all the will of God.

4:13  For I testify for him, that he has a great 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 brethren in Laodicea, and Nymphas, and the church that is in his house.

4:16  And when this letter has been read among you, cause that it be read in the church of the Laodiceans also; and see that you also read the letter from Laodicea;

4:17  and say to Archippus: Take heed to the ministry which you have received in the Lord, that you fulfill it.

4:18  The salutation of me, Paul, with my own hand. Remember my bonds. Grace be with you. Amen.
