1. Masters, give your servants what is righteous and fair, knowing that you also have a Master in the heavens.
2. Continue in prayer, watching therein, with thanksgiving,
3. praying at the same time also for us, that Elohim would open to us a door for the word, to speak the secret of Messiah, for which I am also in chains,
4. so that I make it clear, as I should speak.
5. Walk in wisdom toward those who are outside, redeeming the time.
6. Let your word always be with favour, seasoned with salt, so that you know how you ought to answer each one.
7. Tuchikos, who is a beloved brother, a true servant, and a fellow servant in the Master, shall give you all the news about me.
8. I am sending him to you for this purpose, to know your circumstances and to encourage your hearts,
