- 1 Masters, give to your servants that which is just and balanced, knowing that you also have a Master in heaven.
- 2 Continue in prayer, and watch in it with thanksgiving;
- 3 meanwhile praying also for us, that God would open to us a door of declaration, to speak the mystery of Christ, because of which I am also in chains:
- 4 That I may make it manifest, as I ought to speak.
- 5 Walk in wisdom toward those who are outside, redeeming the time.
- 6 Let your speech always be with grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought to answer each person.
- 7 Tychicus, who is a beloved brother, a faithful minister and fellow servant in the Lord, will tell you about my state of affairs
- 8 whom I have sent to you for this same purpose, that he might know your estate, and comfort your hearts,
- 9 with Onesimus, a faithful and beloved brother, who is one of you. They will make known to you all things which are happening here.
- 10 Aristarchus my fellow prisoner greets you, with Marcus, the cousin of Barnabas, (about whom you received instructions: if he comes to you, welcome him),
- 11 and Jesus, who is called Justus, who are of the circumcision. These are my only fellow workers for the kingdom of God who have proven to be a comfort unto me.
- 12 Epaphras, who is one of you, a servant of Christ, greets you, always labouring fervently for you in prayers, that you may stand perfect and complete in all the will of God.
- 13 Because I bear him testimony, that he has a great zeal for you, and those who are in Laodicea, and those in Hierapolis.
- 14 Luke, the beloved physician and Demas greet you.
- 15 Greet the brethren who are in Laodicea, and Nymphas, and the church that is in his house.
- 16 Now when this epistle is read among you, see that it is read in the church of the Laodiceans also, and that you likewise read the epistle from Laodicea.
- 17 And say to Archippus, “Look to the ministry that you have received in the Lord, that you may fulfil it.”
- 18 The salutation of Paul, by my own hand. Remember my chains. Grace be with you. Amen.
