Dual Panel1Masters <2962>, treat <3930> your slaves <1401> with justice <1342> and <2532> fairness <2471>, because you know <1492> that <3754> you <5210> also <2532> have <2192> a master <2962> in <1722> heaven <3772>.
2Be devoted <4342> to prayer <4335>, keeping alert <1127> in <1722> it <846> with <1722> thanksgiving <2169>.
3At the same time <260> pray <4336> for <4012> us <2257> too <2532>, that <2443> God <2316> may open <455> a door <2374> for the message <3056> so that we may proclaim <2980> the mystery <3466> of Christ <5547>, for <1223> which <3739> I am in chains <1210>.
4Pray that I may <2443> make <5319> it <846> known <5319> as <5613> I <3165> should <1163>.
5Conduct <4043> yourselves with <1722> wisdom <4678> toward <4314> outsiders <1854>, making the most <1805> of the opportunities <2540>.
6Let your <5216> speech <3056> always <3842> be gracious <5485>, seasoned <741> with salt <217>, so that you may know <1492> how <4459> you <5209> should <1163> answer <611> everyone <1538>.
7Tychicus <5190>, a dear <27> brother <80>, faithful <4103> minister <1249>, and <2532> fellow slave <4889> in <1722> the Lord <2962>, will tell <1107> you <5213> all <3956> the news about <2596> me <1691>.
8I sent <3992> him <3739> to <4314> you <5209> for <1519> this <5124> very purpose, that <2443> you may know <1097> how <4012> we <2257> are doing and <2532> that he may encourage <3870> your <5216> hearts <2588>.
9I sent him with <4862> Onesimus <3682>, the faithful <4103> and <2532> dear <27> brother <80>, who <3739> is <1510> one of <1537> you <5216>. They will tell <1107> you <5213> about everything <3956> here <5602>.
10Aristarchus <708>, my <3450> fellow prisoner <4869>, sends <782> you <5209> greetings <782>, as does Mark <3138>, the cousin <431> of Barnabas <921> (about <4012> whom <3739> you received <2983> instructions <1785>; if <1437> he comes <2064> to <4314> you <5209>, welcome <1209> him <846>).
11And <2532> Jesus <2424> who is called <3004> Justus <2459> also sends greetings. In terms of Jewish converts <4061>, these <3778> are the only <3441> fellow workers <4904> for <1519> the kingdom <932> of God <2316>, and they have been <1096> a comfort <3931> to me <3427>.
12Epaphras <1889>, who is one of <1537> you <5216> and a slave <1401> of Christ <5547>, greets <782> you <5209>. He is <75> always <3842> struggling <75> in <1722> prayer <4335> on <5228> your <5216> behalf <5228>, so that <2443> you may stand <2476> mature <5046> and <2532> fully assured <4135> in <1722> all <3956> the will <2307> of God <2316>.
13For <1063> I can testify <3140> that <3754> he has <2192> worked <4192> hard <4183> for <5228> you <5216> and <2532> for those in <1722> Laodicea <2993> and <2532> Hierapolis <2404>.
14Our dear friend <27> Luke <3065> the physician <2395> and <2532> Demas <1214> greet <782> you <5209>.
15Give <782> my greetings <782> to the brothers and sisters <80> who are in <1722> Laodicea <2993> and <2532> to Nympha <3564> and the church <1577> that meets in her <846> house <3624>.
16And <2532> after you have read <314> this letter <1992>, have it read <314> to the church <1577> of Laodicea <2994>. In turn, read <314> the letter from <1537> Laodicea <2993> as well.
17And <2532> tell <2036> Archippus <751>, “See <991> to it that you complete <4137> the ministry <1248> you received <3880> in <1722> the Lord <2962>.”
18I, Paul <3972>, write this greeting <783> by my own <1699> hand <5495>. Remember <3421> my <3450> chains <1199>. Grace <5485> be with <3326> you <5216>.
