CHAPTER 4
Masters,
supply
your
slaves
with what
is right
and
fair,
since you know
that
you
also
have
a Master
in
heaven.
as
you pray
also
for
us,
that
God
may open
to us
a door
for the
word,
so that we may proclaim
the
mystery
of Christ,
for
which
I am in chains.
Let your
speech
always be
gracious,
seasoned
with salt,
so that you may know
how
to answer
everyone.
Tychicus
will tell
you
all
the news
about
me.
He is
a beloved
brother,
a faithful
minister,
and
a fellow servant
in
the Lord.
I have sent
him
to
you
for
this very
purpose,
that
you may know
about
us,
and that
he may encourage
your
hearts.
With him I am sending
Onesimus,
our
faithful
and
beloved
brother,
who
is
one of
you.
They will tell
you about
everything
here.
My
fellow prisoner
Aristarchus
sends you greetings,
as does
Mark
the
cousin
of Barnabas.
You have already received
instructions
about
him:
If
he comes
to
you,
welcome
him.
Jesus,
who is called
Justus,
also sends greetings.
These
are
the only
Jews
among
my
fellow workers
for
the
kingdom
of God,
and they
have been
a comfort
to me.
Epaphras,
who is
one of
you
and a servant
of Christ
Jesus,
sends you greetings.
He is always
wrestling
in
prayer
for
you,
so that
you may stand
mature
and
fully assured
in
the full
will
of God.
For
I testify
about him
that
he goes to
great
pains
for
you
and
for those
at
Laodicea
and
Hierapolis.
After
this
letter
has been read
among
you,
make sure
that
it is also read
in
the
church
of the Laodiceans,
and
that
you
in turn
read
the letter
from
Laodicea.
