# ***COLOSSIANS 4***

---

\[1\] Masters, treat your bondservants justly and fairly, knowing that you also have a Master in heaven.

*Further Instructions*

\[2\] Continue steadfastly in prayer, being watchful in it with thanksgiving. \[3\] At the same time, pray also for us, that God may open to us a door for the word, to declare the mystery of Christ, on account of which I am in prison—\[4\] that I may make it clear, which is how I ought to speak.

\[5\] Walk in wisdom toward outsiders, making the best use of the time. \[6\] Let your speech always be gracious, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how you ought to answer each person.

*Final Greetings*

\[7\] Tychicus will tell you all about my activities. He is a beloved brother and faithful minister and fellow servant in the Lord. \[8\] I have sent him to you for this very purpose, that you may know how we are and that he may encourage your hearts, \[9\] and with him Onesimus, our faithful and beloved brother, who is one of you. They will tell you of everything that has taken place here.

\[10\] Aristarchus my fellow prisoner greets you, and Mark the cousin of Barnabas (concerning whom you have received instructions—if he comes to you, welcome him), \[11\] and Jesus who is called Justus. These are the only men of the circumcision among my fellow workers for the kingdom of God, and they have been a comfort to me. \[12\] Epaphras, who is one of you, a servant of Christ Jesus, greets you, always struggling on your behalf in his prayers, that you may stand mature and fully assured in all the will of God. \[13\] For I bear him witness that he has worked hard for you and for those in Laodicea and in Hierapolis. \[14\] Luke the beloved physician greets you, as does Demas. \[15\] Give my greetings to the brothers at Laodicea, and to Nympha and the church in her house. \[16\] And when this letter has been read among you, have it also read in the church of the Laodiceans; and see that you also read the letter from Laodicea. \[17\] And say to Archippus, “See that you fulfill the ministry that you have received in the Lord.”

\[18\] I, Paul, write this greeting with my own hand. Remember my chains. Grace be with you. (ESV)
