Prayerful Speech and Actions

4 Masters, supply [your] slaves with what [is] right and fair, since you know that you also have a Master in heaven.

2 Devote yourselves to prayer, being watchful [and] thankful, 3 as you pray also for us, that God may open to us a door for the word, so that we may proclaim the mystery of Christ, for which I am in chains. 4 [Pray] that I may declare it clearly, as I should.

5 Act wisely toward outsiders, redeeming the time. 6 [Let] your speech always [be] gracious, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how to answer everyone.
