Murdock - Colossians - 4

4:1  Masters, do equity and justice to your servants; and be conscious that ye also have a master in heaven.

4:2  Persevere in prayer; and be watchful in it, and in giving thanks.

4:3  And pray also for us, that God would open to us a door of speech, for uttering the mystery of the Messiah, for the sake of which I am in bonds;

4:4  that I may unfold it, and utter it, as it behooveth me.

4:5  Walk in wisdom towards them without: and redeem your opportunity.

4:6  And let your speech at all times be with grace; as it were, seasoned with salt: and know ye, how ye ought to give answer to every man.

4:7  And what is occurrent with me, will Tychicus make known to you; who is a beloved brother, and a faithful minister, and our fellow-servant in the Lord:

4:8  whom I have sent to you for this purpose, that he might know your affairs, and might comfort your hearts;

4:9  together with Onesimus, a faithful and beloved brother, who is from among you. These will make known to you what is occurrent with us.

4:10  Aristarchus, my fellow-captive, saluteth you; also Marcus, an uncle's son to Barnabas, of whom ye have received directions, that if he come to you, ye may kindly receive him:

4:11  also Jesus, who is called Justus. These are of the circumcision, and they only have aided me in the kingdom of God; and they have been a comfort to me.

4:12  Epaphras saluteth you, who is from among you, a servant of the Messiah, always laboring for you in prayer, that ye may stand perfect and complete in all the good pleasure of God.

4:13  For I testify for him, that he hath great zeal for you, and for them of Laodicea, and for them of Hierapolis.

4:14  Luke the physician, our beloved, saluteth you; also Demas.

4:15  Salute ye the brethren in Laodicea, and Nymphas, and the church in his house.

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

4:17  And say to Archippus: Be attentive to the ministry which thou hast received in our Lord, that thou fulfill it.

4:18  This salutation is by the hand of me Paul. Remember my bonds. Grace be with you. Amen.philemon1:01 PAUL, a prisoner of Jesus the Messiah, and Timothy a brother; to the beloved Philemon, a laborer with us,
