Colossians 4:2-6

International Standard Version

Closing Exhortations

² Devote yourselves to prayer. Be alert^[a] and thankful when you pray. ³ At the same time also pray for us—that God would open before us a door for the word so that we may tell the secret about the Messiah,^[b] for which I have been imprisoned. ⁴ May I reveal it as clearly as I should!^[c]

⁵ Behave wisely toward outsiders, making the best use of your time. ⁶ Let your speech always be gracious, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how you ought to answer everyone.
