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.
