Masters, give
unto your servants
that which is just
and
equal
; knowing
that
ye
also
have
a Master
in
heaven
.
Continue in prayer
, and watch
in
the same
with
thanksgiving
;
Withal praying
also
for
us
, that
God
would open
unto us
a door
of utterance
, to speak
the mystery
of Christ
, for
which
I am
also
in bonds
:
That I may make
it
manifest
, as
I
ought
to speak
.
Walk in
wisdom
toward
them that are without
, redeeming
the time
.
Let your speech
be alway
with
grace
, seasoned
with salt
, that ye may know
how
ye
ought
to answer
every
man
.
All my
state
shall
Tychicus
declare
unto you
, who is a beloved
brother
, and
a faithful
minister
and
fellowservant
in
the Lord
:
Whom I have sent
unto
you
for
the same
purpose
, that
he might know
your
estate
, and
comfort
your
hearts
;
With Onesimus
, a faithful
and
beloved
brother
, who
is
one of
you
. They shall make known
unto you
all things
which
are done here
.
Aristarchus my
fellowprisoner
saluteth
you
, and
Marcus
, sister's son
to Barnabas
, (touching
whom
ye received
commandments
: if
he come
unto
you
, receive
him
;)
And Jesus
, which
is called
Justus
, who
are
of
the circumcision
. These
only
are my fellowworkers
unto
the kingdom
of God
, which
have been
a comfort
unto me
.
Epaphras, who is one of
you
, a servant
of Christ
, saluteth
you
, always
labouring fervently
for
you
in
prayers
, that
ye may stand
perfect
and
complete
in
all
the will
of God
.
For I bear
him
record
, that
he hath
a great
zeal
for
you
, and
them that are in
Laodicea
, and
them in
Hierapolis
.
Luke, the beloved
physician
, and
Demas
, greet
you
.
Salute the brethren
which are in
Laodicea
, and
Nymphas
, and
the church
which is in
his
house
.
And when
this epistle
is read
among
you
, cause
that
it be read
also
in
the church
of the Laodiceans
; and
that
ye
likewise
read
the epistle from
Laodicea
.
And say
to Archippus
, Take heed
to the ministry
which
thou hast received
in
the Lord
, that
thou fulfil
it
.
