1Masters, render to your servants that which is just and equal; knowing that you also have a Master in heaven. 2Continue steadfastly in prayer, watching in it with thanksgiving; 3praying at the same time for us also, that God may open to us a door for the word, to speak the mystery of Messiah, for which I am also in bonds; 4that I may make it manifest, as I ought to speak. 5Walk in wisdom toward those who are outside, redeeming the time. 6Let your speech be always with grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought to answer each one. 7All my affairs Tychicus will make known to you, the beloved brother and faithful minister and fellow-servant in the Lord: 8whom I have sent to you for this very purpose, that you may know our state, and that he may comfort your hearts; 9together with Onesimus, the faithful and beloved brother, who is one of you. They shall make known to you all things that are done here. 10Aristarchus my fellow-prisoner greets you, and Mark, the cousin of Barnabas (concerning whom you received commandments; if he comes to you, receive him), 11and Yeshua who is called Justus, who are of the circumcision: these only are my fellow-workers for the kingdom of God, men who have been a comfort to me. 12Epaphras, who is one of you, a servant of Messiah Yeshua, greets you, always striving for you in his prayers, that you may stand perfect and fully assured in all the will of God. 13For I bear him witness, that he has much labor for you, and for those in Laodicea, and for those in Hierapolis. 14Luke, the beloved physician, and Demas greet you. 15Greet the brothers who are in Laodicea, and Nymphas, and the assembly that is in their house. 16And when this epistle has been read among you, have it read also in the assembly of the Laodiceans; and see that you also read the epistle from Laodicea. 17And say to Archippus, Take heed to the ministry which you have received in the Lord, that you fulfill it. 18I, Paul, write this greeting with my own hand. Remember my bonds. Grace be with you.
