* You who are a boss , do what is right to your servants . You know that you also have a Master in heaven . * Always take time to talk to God . Put your mind on what you are saying . And thank God for what he has done . * Talk to God about us too . Ask him to open a way for us to tell people his message . We want to tell Gods plan about Christ . That is why I am in prison because of that plan . * I want to be free to talk about it as I should do . * Act the right way to people who are not Christians . Make good use of your time . * Always say good things when you talk . Talk in a way that will make people listen . Then you will know how to answer people . * Tychicus will tell you all about me . He is a brother whom I love . He is a very good helper and works with me in the Lords work . * I am sending him to you so that you will know about us and so that he may comfort your hearts . * I am sending Onesimus with him . He is also a good brother whom I love . He is one of you . They will tell you all about everything here . * Here are the people who send you greetings : Aristarchus , who is in prison with me , and Mark , a cousin of Barnabas . I have already told you to welcome him if he comes to you . * Jesus , whose other name is Justus , also sends greetings . These men are the only Jews who are doing Gods work with me . And they have comforted me much . * Epaphras sends you greetings . He is one of you and is a servant of Christ Jesus . He always talks to God about you with all his heart . He asks God to help you to be strong so that you will become grown-up Christians and know all that God wants you to do . * I myself have seen how hard he has worked for you and for the people in the cities of Laodicea and Hierapolis . * Luke , the doctor whom I love , and Demas also greet you . * Give my greetings to the brothers at Laodicea , and also to Nympha and the church people who meet in her house . * When you have read this letter , then be sure that it is also read to the church people in Laodicea . And be sure that you read the letter which will be sent to you from Laodicea . * Tell Archippus , See that you do all the work which the Lord has given you to do . * I , Paul , write this greeting with my own hand . Remember that I am in prison . God bless you .
