1. Masters, do that which is just and right with your slaves, knowing that ye also have a Master in heaven.
2. Persevere in prayer and watch in the same with thanksgiving,
3. praying also together for us that God would open unto us the door of the word, to speak the mystery of the Christ, for which I am also in bonds,
4. that I may make it manifest, as I ought to speak.
5. Walk in wisdom towards outsiders, winning the occasion.
6. Let your word be always with grace, seasoned with salt, that ye may know how ye ought to answer each one.
7. All my affairs shall Tychicus declare unto you, who is a beloved brother and a faithful servant and fellow slave in the Lord,
