Colossians 4 — Chapter 4

¹Masters, give unto your servants that which is just and equal; knowing that you also have a Master in heaven.

²Continue in prayer, and watch in the same with thanksgiving;

³Withal praying also for us, that Elohim (God) would open unto us a door of utterance, to speak the mystery of Messiah (Christ), for which I am also in bonds:

⁴That I may make it manifest, as I ought to speak.

⁵Walk in wisdom toward them that are without, redeeming the time.

⁶Let your speech be alway with grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought to answer every man.

⁷All my state shall Tychicus declare unto you, who is a beloved brother, and a faithful minister and fellowservant in the Lord:

⁸Whom I have sent unto you for the same purpose, that he might know your estate, and comfort your hearts;

⁹With Onesimus, a faithful and beloved brother, who is one of you. They shall make known unto you all things which are done here.

¹⁰Aristarchus my fellowprisoner saluteth you, and Marcus, sister’s son to Barnabas, (touching whom you received commandments: if he come unto you, receive him;)

¹¹And Yahusha (Jesus), which is called Justus, who are of the circumcision. These only are my fellowworkers unto the kingdom of Elohim (God), which have been a comfort unto me.

¹²Epaphras, who is one of you, a servant of Messiah (Christ), saluteth you, always labouring fervently for you in prayers, that you may stand perfect and complete in all the will of Elohim (God).

¹³For I bear him record, that he has a great zeal for you, and them that are in Laodicea, and them in Hierapolis.

¹⁴Luke, the beloved physician, and Demas, greet you.

¹⁵Salute the brethren which are in Laodicea, and Nymphas, and the church which is in his house.

¹⁶And when this epistle is read among you, cause that it be read also in the church of the Laodiceans; and that you likewise read the epistle from Laodicea.

¹⁷And say to Archippus, Take heed to the ministry which you have received in the Lord, that you fulfil it.

¹⁸The salutation by the hand of me Paul. Remember my bonds. Grace be with you. Amen.
