Etheridge - Colossians - 4

4:1  Masters, do equity and justice to your servants, knowing that you also have a Master in heaven.

4:2  In prayer be constant, and be watchful in it, and (in) giving thanks;

4:3  praying also for us, that Aloha may open to us the gate of the word, to speak the mystery of the Meshiha, for the sake of which I am bound,

4:4  that I may fully make it manifest, as it behoveth me.

4:5  In wisdom walk towards the outward ones, and redeem your opportunity.

4:6  And let your speech at all time be with grace as sprinkled with salt, each one knowing how it becometh him to return the answer.

4:7  What concerneth me will Tykikos, a beloved brother and faithful minister, and our companion in the Lord, make known to you:

4:8  whom I have sent to you for this, that he may know how it is with you, and may comfort your hearts;

4:9  with Onesimos, the faithful and beloved brother who is of you. These will make you know what concerneth us.

4:10  Aristarchos, a captive with me, asketh for your peace, and Markos, the nephew of Bar Naba, regarding whom you are directed, that if he come to you, receive him,

4:11  and Jeshu who is called Justos: these are of the circumcision, and these only have helped me in the kingdom of Aloha, and these have been a consolation to me.

4:12  Epaphra, who is of you, asketh for your peace; a servant of the Meshiha, who is always labouring on your behalf in prayer, that you may stand perfect and complete in all the will of Aloha.

4:13  For I testify of him that he hath a great zeal for you and for those in Laodikia and in Iropolis.

4:14  Lukos our beloved physician, and Dima, ask for your peace.

4:15  Ask the peace of the brethren who are in Laodikia, and of Nymfa, and of the church which is in his house.

4:16  And when this epistle shall have been read to you, cause it also to be read in the church of the Laodikoyee; and that which is written from the Laodikoyee, read you it.

4:17  And say to Arkipos, Be vigilant in the ministry which thou hast received in our Lord, that thou fulfil it.

4:18  This salutation with the hand of me, PAULOS. Remember my bonds. Grace be with you. Amen.
