**1 **Masters, give unto *your* servants that which is just and equal; knowing that ye also have a Master in heaven.

**2 **Continue in prayer, and watch in the same with thanksgiving; **3 **Withal praying also for us, that God would open unto us a door of utterance, to speak the mystery of Christ, for which I am also in bonds: **4 **That I may make it manifest, as I ought to speak.

**5 **Walk in wisdom toward them that are without, redeeming the time. **6 **Let your speech *be* alway with grace, seasoned with salt, that ye may know how ye ought to answer every man.

**7 **All my state shall Tychicus declare unto you, *who is* a beloved brother, and a faithful minister and fellowservant in the Lord: **8 **Whom I have sent unto you for the same purpose, that he might know your estate, and comfort your hearts; **9 **With Onesimus, a faithful and beloved brother, who is *one* of you. They shall make known unto you all things which *are done* here.

**10 **Aristarchus my fellowprisoner saluteth you, and Marcus, sister's son to Barnabas, (touching whom ye received commandments: if he come unto you, receive him;) **11 **And Jesus, which is called Justus, who are of the circumcision. These only *are my* fellowworkers unto the kingdom of God, which have been a comfort unto me. **12 **Epaphras, who is *one* of you, a servant of Christ, saluteth you, always labouring fervently for you in prayers, that ye may stand perfect and complete in all the will of God. **13 **For I bear him record, that he hath a great zeal for you, and them *that are* in Laodicea, and them in Hierapolis. **14 **Luke, the beloved physician, and Demas, greet you. **15 **Salute the brethren which are in Laodicea, and Nymphas, and the church which is in his house.

**16 **And when this epistle is read among you, cause that it be read also in the church of the Laodiceans; and that ye likewise read the *epistle* from Laodicea. **17 **And say to Archippus, Take heed to the ministry which thou hast received in the Lord, that thou fulfil it.

**18 **The salutation by the hand of me Paul. Remember my bonds. Grace *be* with you. Amen. \{*Written from Rome to the Colossians by Tychicus and Onesimus.*}
