Worsley - Colossians - 4

4:1  and ye masters, render to your servants justice and equity, knowing that ye also have a Master in heaven.

4:2  Persevere in prayer, and be watchful in it, with thanksgiving.

4:3  Praying at the same time for us also, that God would open to us a door of utterance, to declare the mystery of Christ, for which also I am in bonds: that I may make it manifest, as I ought.

4:4  Behave yourselves wisely towards them that are without,

4:5  redeeming the time.

4:6  Let your speech be always with grace, seasoned with discretion to know how ye ought to answer every one.

4:7  All things concerning me will Tychicus make known to you, who is a beloved brother, and faithful minister, and fellow-servant in the Lord:

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

4:9  together with Onesimus a faithful and beloved brother, who is one of you. They will inform you of all things here.

4:10  Aristarchus my fellow-prisoner saluteth you, and Marcus nephew to Barnabas, concerning whom ye have received orders; (if he come to you, receive him;) and Jesus who is called Justus:

4:11  these are the only persons, who, of the circumcision, have been my fellow-laborers in the kingdom of God, and who were a comfort to me.

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

4:13  for I bear him witness, that he is very zealous for you, and for those in Laodicea, and Hierapolis.

4:14  Luke the beloved physician, and Demas, greeteth 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 amongst you, cause it to be read also in the church of the Laodiceans; that ye may also read that from Laodicea.

4:17  And say ye to Archippus, Look well to the ministry, which thou hast received of the Lord, that thou fulfil it.

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