Colossians 4
King James Version
Colossians 4
King James Version
4 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 always 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.

4 Amos, proporcionad a vuestros esclavos lo que es justo y equitativo, conscientes de que vosotros también tenéis un Amo en el cielo.
Instrucciones adicionales
2 Dedicaos a la oración: perseverad en ella con agradecimiento 3 y, al mismo tiempo, interceded por nosotros a fin de que Dios nos abra las puertas para proclamar la palabra, el misterio de Cristo por el cual estoy preso. 4 Orad para que yo lo anuncie con claridad, como debo hacerlo. 5 Comportaos sabiamente con los que no creen en Cristo,[a] aprovechando al máximo cada momento oportuno. 6 Que vuestra conversación sea siempre amena y de buen gusto. Así sabréis cómo responder a cada uno.
Saludos finales
7 Nuestro querido hermano Tíquico, fiel servidor y colaborador[b] en el Señor, os contará con detalle cómo me va. 8 Lo envío a vosotros precisamente para que tengáis noticias de nosotros, y así cobréis ánimo.[c] 9 Va con Onésimo, querido y fiel hermano, que es uno de vosotros. Ellos os pondrán al tanto de todo lo que sucede aquí.
10 Aristarco, mi compañero de cárcel, os manda saludos, como también Marcos, el primo de Bernabé. En cuanto a Marcos, vosotros ya habéis recibido instrucciones; si va a visitaros, recibidle bien. 11 También os saluda Jesús, llamado el Justo. Estos son los únicos judíos que colaboran conmigo en pro del reino de Dios, y me han sido de mucho consuelo. 12 Os manda saludos Epafras, que es uno de vosotros. Este siervo de Cristo Jesús está siempre luchando en oración por vosotros, para que, plenamente convencidos,[d] os mantengáis firmes, cumpliendo en todo la voluntad de Dios. 13 A mí me consta que él se preocupa mucho por vosotros y por los que están en Laodicea y en Hierápolis. 14 Os saludan Lucas, el querido médico, y Demas. 15 Saludad a los hermanos que están en Laodicea, como también a Ninfas y a la iglesia que se reúne en su casa.
16 Una vez que se os haya leído esta carta, que se lea también en la iglesia de Laodicea, y vosotros leed la carta dirigida a esa iglesia.
17 Decidle a Arquipo que se ocupe de la tarea que recibió en el Señor, y que la lleve a cabo.
18 Yo, Pablo, escribo este saludo de mi puño y letra. Recordad que estoy preso. Que la gracia sea con vosotros.

4 Masters, provide your slaves with what is right and fair,(A) because you know that you also have a Master in heaven.
Further Instructions
2 Devote yourselves to prayer,(B) being watchful and thankful. 3 And pray for us, too, that God may open a door(C) for our message, so that we may proclaim the mystery(D) of Christ, for which I am in chains.(E) 4 Pray that I may proclaim it clearly, as I should. 5 Be wise(F) in the way you act toward outsiders;(G) make the most of every opportunity.(H) 6 Let your conversation be always full of grace,(I) seasoned with salt,(J) so that you may know how to answer everyone.(K)
Final Greetings
7 Tychicus(L) will tell you all the news about me. He is a dear brother, a faithful minister and fellow servant[a](M) in the Lord. 8 I am sending him to you for the express purpose that you may know about our[b] circumstances and that he may encourage your hearts.(N) 9 He is coming with Onesimus,(O) our faithful and dear brother, who is one of you.(P) They will tell you everything that is happening here.
10 My fellow prisoner Aristarchus(Q) sends you his greetings, as does Mark,(R) the cousin of Barnabas.(S) (You have received instructions about him; if he comes to you, welcome him.) 11 Jesus, who is called Justus, also sends greetings. These are the only Jews[c] among my co-workers(T) for the kingdom of God, and they have proved a comfort to me. 12 Epaphras,(U) who is one of you(V) and a servant of Christ Jesus, sends greetings. He is always wrestling in prayer for you,(W) that you may stand firm in all the will of God, mature(X) and fully assured. 13 I vouch for him that he is working hard for you and for those at Laodicea(Y) and Hierapolis. 14 Our dear friend Luke,(Z) the doctor, and Demas(AA) send greetings. 15 Give my greetings to the brothers and sisters at Laodicea,(AB) and to Nympha and the church in her house.(AC)
16 After this letter has been read to you, see that it is also read(AD) in the church of the Laodiceans and that you in turn read the letter from Laodicea.
17 Tell Archippus:(AE) “See to it that you complete the ministry you have received in the Lord.”(AF)
18 I, Paul, write this greeting in my own hand.(AG) Remember(AH) my chains.(AI) Grace be with you.(AJ)
