Colossians 4 — ASVBT
4Verse 1Masters, render unto your servants that which is just and equal; knowing that ye also have a Master in heaven.Verse 2Continue steadfastly in prayer, watching therein with thanksgiving;Verse 3withal praying for us also, that God may open unto us a door for the word, to speak the mystery of Christ, for which I am also in bonds;Verse 4that I may make it manifest, as I ought to speak.Verse 5Walk in wisdom toward them that are without, redeeming the time.Verse 6Let your speech be always with grace, seasoned with salt, that ye may know how ye ought to answer each one.Verse 7All my affairs shall Tychicus make known unto you, the beloved brother and faithful minister and fellow servant in the Lord:Verse 8whom I have sent unto you for this very purpose, that he may know your state, and that he may comfort your hearts;Verse 9together with Onesimus, the faithful and beloved brother, who is one of you. They shall make known unto you all things that are done here.Verse 10Aristarchus my fellow prisoner saluteth you, and Mark, the cousin of Barnabas (touching whom ye received commandments; if he come unto you, receive him),Verse 11and Jesus that is called Justus, who are of the circumcision: these only are my fellow workers unto the kingdom of God, men that have been a comfort unto me.Verse 12Epaphras, who is one of you, a servant of Christ, saluteth you, always striving for you in his prayers, that ye may stand perfect and complete in all the will of God.Verse 13For I bear him witness, that he hath much zeal for you, and for them in Laodicea, and for them in Hierapolis.Verse 14Luke, the beloved physician, and Demas salute you.Verse 15Salute the brethren that are in Laodicea, and Nymphas, and the church that is in his house.Verse 16And when this epistle hath been read among you, cause that it be read also in the church of the Laodiceans; and that ye also read the epistle from Laodicea.Verse 17And say to Archippus, Take heed to the ministry which thou hast received in the Lord, that thou fulfill it.Verse 18The salutation of me Paul with mine own hand. Remember my bonds. Grace be with you. Amen.
