Jubilee2000 - Colossians - 4

4:1  Masters, do that which is just and right with [your] servants, knowing that ye also have a Master in heaven.

4:2  Persevere in prayer and watch in the same with thanksgiving,

4:3  praying also together for us that God would open unto us [the] door of the word, to speak the mystery of the Christ, for which I am also in bonds,

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

4:5  Walk in wisdom towards outsiders, winning the occasion.

4:6  Let your word [be] always with grace, seasoned with salt, that ye may know how ye ought to answer each one.

4:7  All my affairs shall Tychicus declare unto you, [who is] a beloved brother and a faithful minister and fellowservant in the Lord,

4:8  whom I have sent unto you for the same purpose, that he might know your affairs and comfort your hearts,

4:9  with Onesimus, a faithful and beloved brother, who is [one] of you. They shall make known unto you all [the] things which [are happening] here.

4:10  Aristarchus, my fellowprisoner, salutes you, and Mark, nephew to Barnabas, (concerning whom ye have received commandments, if he comes unto you, receive him),

4:11  and Jesus, who is called Justus, who are of the circumcision. These only [are my] fellowworkers unto the kingdom of God, who have been a comfort unto me.

4:12  Epaphras, who is [one] of you, a servant of Christ, salutes you, always labouring fervently for you in prayers, that ye may stand [firm], perfect and fulfilled in all the will of God.

4:13  For I bear witness of him, that he has a great zeal for you and those [that are] in Laodicea and those in Hierapolis.

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

4:15  Salute the brethren who are in Laodicea and Nymphas and the church which is in his house.

4:16  And when [this] epistle is read among you, cause that it be read also in the church of [the] Laodiceans, and that ye likewise read the [epistle] from Laodicea.

4:17  And say to Archippus, Take heed to fulfil the ministry which thou hast received in the Lord.

4:18  The salutation by the hand of me Paul. Remember my bonds. Grace [be] with you. Amen.:
