* Masters , give to [your ] slaves what [is ] just and equal , knowing that you also have a Master in Heaven . * Continue in prayer and watch in it with thanksgiving , * praying together about us also , that God may open to us a door of the Word , to speak the mystery of Christ , for which I also have been bound , * that I may make it clear , as I ought to speak . * Walk in wisdom toward those on the outside , redeeming the time . * Let your speech [be ] always with grace , having been seasoned with salt , that you may know how you ought to answer each one . * Tychicus , the beloved brother and faithful minister and fellow-servant in [the ] Lord , will make known to you all things about me . * I sent [him ] to you for this very purpose , that he might know the things about you , and that he might comfort your hearts , * along with Onesimus , a faithful and beloved brother , who is [one ] of you . They shall make known to you all things here . * Aristarchus my fellow prisoner greets you , and Mark , the cousin of Barnabas (regarding whom you received commandments ; if he comes to you , receive him ), * and [greetings from ] Jesus , who is called Justus , those being of the circumcision . These alone [are my ] fellow-workers for the kingdom of God , who became a comfort to me . * Epaphras greets you , he being of you , a servant of Christ , always laboring fervently for you in prayers , that you may stand perfect and complete in all the will of God . * For I bear him record that he has a great zeal for you and for those [who are ] in Laodicea and those in Hierapolis . * Luke , the beloved physician , and Demas , greet you . * Greet the brothers who are in Laodicea , and Nymphas , and the church in his house . * And when this letter is read before you , cause that it be read also in the church of the Laodiceans , and that you also read the [letter ] of Laodicea . * And say to Archippus , Take heed to the ministry which you have received in [the ] Lord , that you fulfill it . * The salutation of Paul , by my own hand . Remember my bonds . Grace [be ] with you . Amen .
