          DASV: Colossians 4

1 Masters, treat your servants justly and fairly, knowing that
you also have a Master in heaven.

2 Continue steadfastly in prayer, keeping alert in it with
thanksgiving.
3 Pray for us also, that God may open a door for the word so
that we may declare the mystery of Christ, for which I am
in chains.
4 Pray that I may proclaim the word as clearly as I should.
5 Be wise how you act toward outsiders, making the most of
every opportunity.
6 Let your speech always be gracious, seasoned with salt, so
that you may know how you ought to answer everyone.

7 Tychicus, a beloved brother, faithful minister and fellow
servant in the Lord, will make known all my affairs to you.
8 I have sent him for this very purpose, that you may know how
we are doing, and that he may encourage your hearts.
9 I am also sending Onesimus, a faithful and beloved brother,
who is one of you. They will tell you everything going on here.
10 Aristarchus, my fellow prisoner, greets you, as does Mark,
the cousin of Barnabas. You have received instructions about
him; if he comes to you, welcome him.
11 Jesus, who is called Justus, also sends greetings. These
are my only Jewish converts, fellow workers in the kingdom of
God. They have been a comfort to me.
12 Epaphras, who is one of you, a servant of Christ Jesus,
greets you. He earnestly prays for you, that you may stand
perfect and confident in all the will of God.
13 For I can assure you, that he has worked hard for you,
and for those in Laodicea and Hierapolis.
14 Luke, the beloved physician, and Demas greet you.
15 Greet the brothers who are in Laodicea and Nymphas, and
the church that meets in her house.
16 After this letter has been read to you, let it be read also
by the church of the Laodiceans. You also read the letter
from Laodicea.
17 Tell Archippus, “Make sure you complete the ministry you
received in the Lord.”
18 I, Paul write this greeting with my own hand. Remember
my chains. Grace be with you.
