1. Masters, be fair and just in the way you treat your slaves. Remember that you too have a Master in heaven.
2. Be persistent in prayer, and keep alert as you pray, giving thanks to God.
3. At the same time pray also for us, so that God will give us a good opportunity to preach his message about the secret of Christ. For that is why I am now in prison.
4. Pray, then, that I may speak, as I should, in such a way as to make it clear.
5. Be wise in the way you act towards those who are not believers, making good use of every opportunity you have.
