Colossians - Chapter 4

Col 4:1	¶	Masters, give unto [your] servants that which is just and equal; knowing that ye also have a Master in heaven.
Col 4:2	¶	Continue in prayer, and watch in the same with thanksgiving;
Col 4:3		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:
Col 4:4		That I may make it manifest, as I ought to speak.
Col 4:5		Walk in wisdom toward them that are without, redeeming the time.
Col 4:6		Let your speech [be] alway with grace, seasoned with salt, that ye may know how ye ought to answer every man.
Col 4:7	¶	All my state shall Tychicus declare unto you, [who is] a beloved brother, and a faithful minister and fellowservant in the Lord:
Col 4:8		Whom I have sent unto you for the same purpose, that he might know your estate, and comfort your hearts;
Col 4:9		With Onesimus, a faithful and beloved brother, who is [one] of you. They shall make known unto you all things which [are done] here.
Col 4:10		Aristarchus my fellowprisoner saluteth you, and Marcus, sister's son to Barnabas, (touching whom ye received commandments: if he come unto you, receive him;)
Col 4:11		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.
Col 4:12		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.
Col 4:13		For I bear him record, that he hath a great zeal for you, and them [that are] in Laodicea, and them in Hierapolis.
Col 4:14		Luke, the beloved physician, and Demas, greet you.
Col 4:15		Salute the brethren which are in Laodicea, and Nymphas, and the church which is in his house.
Col 4:16	¶	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.
Col 4:17		And say to Archippus, Take heed to the ministry which thou hast received in the Lord, that thou fulfil it.
Col 4:18		The salutation by the hand of me Paul. Remember my bonds. Grace [be] with you. Amen. [[[The following was added by editors of the KJV: Written from Rome to Colossians by Tychicus and Onesimus.]]]
