1. Masters, give to your servants that which is just and fair, knowing that you also have a Master in heaven.
2. Continue in prayer, and be watchful with thanksgiving,
3. while praying also for us, that God would open to us a door of utterance to speak the mystery of Christ, for which I am also in chains,
4. that I may reveal it clearly, as I ought to speak.
5. Walk in wisdom toward those who are outside, wisely using the opportunity.
6. Let your speech always be with grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how you should answer everyone.
7. Tychicus, who is a beloved brother and a faithful minister and fellow servant in the Lord, will tell you all the news about me.
8. I have sent him to you for this very purpose, that he might know your circumstances and comfort your hearts,
9. with Onesimus, a faithful and beloved brother, who is one of you. They will make known to you everything which is happening here.
10. Aristarchus my fellow prisoner greets you, with Mark, the cousin of Barnabas (concerning whom you received instructions: If he comes to you, receive him),
11. and Jesus, who is called Justus. These are my only fellow workers for the kingdom of God who are of the circumcision. They have been a comfort to me.
12. Epaphras greets you. He is one of you, a servant of Christ, always laboring fervently for you in prayers, that you may stand mature and complete in the entire will of God.
