New Testament

Colossians 4:1-5 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

1. Masters, give your slaves what is right and fair. Do it because you know that you also have a Master in heaven.

2. Spend a lot of time in prayer. Always be watchful and thankful.

3. Pray for us too. Pray that God will open a door for our message. Then we can preach the mystery of Christ. Because I preached it, I am being held by chains.

4. Pray that I will preach it clearly, as I should.

5. Be wise in the way you act toward outsiders. Make the most of every opportunity.
