Literal Version 

4:2 Further teaching for believers

2 Persevere in prayer, keeping watch and being thankful. 3 Pray together for us as well that God would open a door for us to share the message—to tell about the mystery of the messiah. That’s also why I’m in chains—4 so that I can explain the mystery whenever I have an opportunity to speak.

5 [ref]Use wisdom as you all walk towards non-believers, using the time wisely. 6 Always show grace in your conversations, like a meal that’s seasoned with salt, so you’ll know how to answer each person in their situation.

2 Be_persevering the in_prayer, watching in it with thanksgiving, 3 praying together also for us, in_order_that the god may_open_up to_us a_door for_the message, to_speak the mystery of_the chosen_one/messiah, because_of which also I_have_been_bound, 4 in_order_that I_may_reveal it, as it_is_fitting me to_speak.
5 In wisdom be_walking toward the ones outside, redeeming the time.
6 The speech of_you_all always in grace let_be, having_been_seasoned with_salt, to_have_known how it_is_fitting you_all to_be_answering to_ each _one.
