\subsection{Colossians 4}
\VS{1} Masters, be supplying justice and fairness to your slaves, knowing that you
also have [a] master in heaven.
\VS{2} Be continuing steadfastly in prayer,
watching in it in thankfulness, praying one and all also concerning us,
\VS{3} in order that God open to us [a] door of the word, to speak the mystery
of Christ, because of which I indeed am bound,
\VS{4} that I manifest it as it is necessary I speak.
\VS{5} Be walking in wisdom towards those outside,
buying up for oneself the opportune-time\fnKairos().
\VS{6} [Let] your conversation always [be] in grace,
having been seasoned with salt, to know how you just be answering each one.
\VS{7} Everything according to me Tychicus the agape-beloved brother and
trustworthy servant and fellow-slave in the Lord will disclose to you,
\VS{8} whom I sent to you for this same [purpose], in order that you know the [things] concerning us, and he will encourage your hearts
\VS{9} with Onisimus, the trustworthy and agape-beloved brother, who is from
[among] you; they will disclose to you all the [latest] here.
\VS{10} Aristarchus my fellow prisoner greets you, and Mark the
cousin of Barnabas, concerning whom you received [a] commandment: if he comes
to you, receive him
\VS{11} and Jesus being called Justus, these being from
circumcision, these only working together for the kingdom of God, which
became to me [a] comfort.
\VS{12} Epaphras the [one] from [among] you greets you, [a] slave of
Christ Jesus, always struggling in your behalf in his prayers, that you be
established complete and fully convinced in all [the] will of God.
\VS{13} For I witness to him that he has much labor in behalf [of you]
and Laodicia and Hierapolis.
\VS{14} Luke the agape-beloved physician and Demas greet you.
\VS{15} Greet the brothers in Laodicia and Nympha and the assembly\fnEkklhsia{} according
to his house.
\VS{16} And when the letter is read in your presence, arrange
that in the Laodician assembly\fnEkklhsia{} it may be read, and the [one] from Laodicia that you also may read [it].
\VS{17} And say to Archippus: Look to the service which you
received in the Lord, that you may complete it.
\VS{18} The greeting [is] in my, Paul's hand. Be remembering my bonds. Grace
[be] with you.
