* Masters , give your servants that which is just and equal . You know that you also have a Master in heaven . * Continue steadfastly in prayer , being vigilant with thanksgiving . * Pray also for us that God may open to us a door for the word , to speak the secret of Christ , for which I have also been imprisoned . * Let me make it known , as I ought to speak . * Behave with wisdom toward those who are outside , making the most of the time . * Let your speech be always with grace , seasoned with salt , that you may know how you ought to answer each one . * Tychicus will make known all my affairs to you , the beloved brother and faithful minister and fellow servant in the Lord . * I have sent him to you for this very purpose , that you may know our situation , and that he may comfort your hearts . * He will be with Onesimus , the faithful and beloved brother , who is one of you . They will make known to you all things that are done here . * Aristarchus my fellow-prisoner greets you , and Mark , the cousin of Barnabas , * and Jesus that is called Justus , who are of the circumcision : these only are my fellow-workers for the kingdom of God , men that have been comfort to me . * Epaphras , who is one of you , a servant of Christ Jesus , greets you , always striving for you in his prayers , that you may stand perfect and fully assured in all the will of God . * I testify for him , that he has worked hard for you , and for them in Laodicea , and for them in Hierapolis . * Luke , the beloved physician , and Demas greet you . * Greet the brothers who are in Laodicea , and Nympha , and the congregation that is in her house . * When this letter has been read among you , make sure it is read also in the congregation of the Laodiceans ; and that you also read the letter from Laodicea . * Say to Archippus , »Take heed to the ministry you received in the Lord , that you fulfill it .« * I , Paul , write this greeting with my own hand . Remember my imprisonment . Grace be with you .
