ULT COL Chapter 4

COL 4 ©

4Masters, give to your slaves what is right and fair, knowing that you also have a master in heaven.

2Continue steadfastly in prayer, staying alert in it in thanksgiving, 3praying together for us also so that God may open a door to us for the word to speak the mystery of Christ, on account of which also I have been bound, 4in order that I may make it clear, as I ought to speak. 5Walk in wisdom toward the ones outside, redeeming the time, 6your words always with grace, seasoned with salt, to know how it is necessary for you to answer each one.

7All the things concerning me, Tychicus will make known to you, the beloved brother and faithful servant and fellow slave in the Lord, 8whom I sent to you for this very reason, so that you might know the things concerning us[fn] and that he might encourage your hearts. 9Together with Onesimus, the faithful and beloved brother who is from among you, they will make known to you all the things here.

10Aristarchus, my fellow prisoner, greets you, and Mark, the cousin of Barnabas (about whom you received orders; if he may come to you, receive him), 11and Jesus, the one called Justus. These are the only fellow workers for the kingdom of God being from the circumcision, who were a comfort to me. 12Epaphras greets you. He is from among you, a servant of Christ Jesus, always striving on behalf of you in prayers so that you may stand complete and fully assured in all the will of God. 13For I testify for him that he has much hard labor on behalf of you and of the ones in Laodicea and of the ones in Hierapolis. 14Luke, the beloved physician, greets you, and also Demas. 15Greet the brothers in Laodicea, and Nympha, and the church in her house. 16And when this letter has been read among you, make sure that it would be read also in the church of Laodicea and that you also would read the one from Laodicea. 17And say to Archippus, “Look to the ministry that you have received in the Lord so that you may fulfill it.”

18This greeting is by my own hand—Paul. Remember my chains. Grace be with you.


Some older versions read, so that he might know the things concerning you
