Christian Graces; Final Greetings

4 Masters,^(A) give your bondservants what is just and fair, knowing that you also have a Master in heaven.

Christian Graces

^2 (B)Continue earnestly in prayer, being vigilant in it ^(C)with thanksgiving; ^3 (D)meanwhile praying also for us, that God would ^(E)open to us a door for the word, to speak ^(F)the ^[a]mystery of Christ, ^(G)for which I am also in chains, ⁴ that I may make it manifest, as I ought to speak.

^5 (H)Walk in ^(I)wisdom toward those who are outside, ^(J)redeeming the time. ⁶ Let your speech always be ^(K)with grace, ^(L)seasoned with salt, ^(M)that you may know how you ought to answer each one.

Final Greetings^(N)

^7 (O)Tychicus, a beloved brother, faithful minister, and fellow servant in the Lord, will tell you all the news about me. ^8 (P)I am sending him to you for this very purpose, that ^[b]he may know your circumstances and comfort your hearts, ⁹ with ^(Q)Onesimus, a faithful and beloved brother, who is one of you. They will make known to you all things which are happening here.
