| # Chapter 4
#### 1 | Masters, give to your servants that which is just and equal, knowing that you also have a Master in heaven.
#### 2 | Continue steadfastly in prayer, watching therein with thanksgiving;
#### 3 | praying together for us also, that God may open to us a door for the word, to speak the mystery of Christ, for which I am also in bonds;
#### 4 | that I may reveal it as I ought to speak.
#### 5 | Walk in wisdom toward those who are outside, redeeming the time.
#### 6 | Let your speech always be with grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought to answer each one.
#### 7 | All my affairs will be made known to you by Tychicus, the beloved brother, faithful servant, and fellow bondservant in the Lord.
#### 8 | I am sending him to you for this very purpose, that he may know your circumstances and comfort your hearts,
#### 9 | together with Onesimus, the faithful and beloved brother, who is one of you. They will make known to you all things that are going on here.
#### 10 | Aristarchus, my fellow prisoner greets you, and Mark, the cousin of Barnabas (concerning whom you received commandments, 'if he comes to you, receive him'),
#### 11 | and Jesus who is called Justus, who are of the circumcision. These are my only fellow workers to the kingdom of God, men who have been a comfort to me.
#### 12 | Epaphras, who is one of you, a servant of Christ Jesus, salutes you, always striving for you in his prayers, that you may stand perfect and complete in all the will of God.
#### 13 | For I testify about him, that he has great zeal for you, and for those in Laodicea, and for those in Hierapolis.
#### 14 | Luke, the beloved physician, and Demas greet you.
#### 15 | Greet the brothers who are in Laodicea, and Nymphas, and the assembly that is in his house.
#### 16 | When this letter has been read among you, cause it to be read also in the assembly of the Laodiceans; and that you also read the letter from Laodicea.
#### 17 | Tell Archippus, 'Take heed to the ministry which you have received in the Lord, that you fulfill it.'
#### 18 | The salutation of me, Paul, with my own hand. Remember my bonds. Grace be with you.
