¹ Masters, give your servants that which is just and equitable, knowing that ye also have a master in heaven.

² Continue in prayer, and watch therein with thanksgiving:³ Withal, praying likewise for us, that God would open to us a door of utterance, to speak the mystery of Christ: for which I am also in bonds:⁴ That I may make it manifest, as I ought to speak.

⁵ Walk in wisdom toward them that are without, redeeming the time.⁶ Let your speech be always with grace, seasoned with salt, that ye may know how ye ought to answer every one.

⁷ All my concerns will Tychicus declare to you, a beloved brother, and a faithful minister and fellow-servant in the Lord:⁸ Whom I have sent to you for this very thing, that he might know your state and comfort your hearts,⁹ With Onesimus, a faithful and beloved brother, who is one of you: they will make known to you all things that are done here.¹⁰ Aristarchus, my fellow-prisoner, saluteth you, and Marcus, sister's son to Barnabas; (touching whom ye have received directions, if he come to you,¹¹ receive him,) And Jesus, called Justus, who are of the circumcision: these are the only fellow-workers unto the kingdom of God, who have been a comfort to me.¹² Epaphras, who is one of you, a servant of Christ, saluteth you, always labouring fervently for you in prayer, that ye may stand, perfect and filled, with all the will of God.¹³ For I bear him witness, that he hath a great zeal for you, and for them in Laodicea, and for them in Hierapolis.¹⁴ Luke the beloved physician and Demas salute you.¹⁵ Salute the brethren at Laodicea, and Nymphas, and the church in his house.¹⁶ And when this epistle hath been read among you, cause that it be read also in the church of the Laodiceans, and that ye likewise read the epistle from Laodicea.¹⁷ And say to Archippus, Take heed that thou fulfil the ministry which thou hast received in the Lord.¹⁸ The salutation of me Paul by my own hand.
