Colosenses 4
La Biblia de las Américas
4 Amos, tratad con justicia y equidad a vuestros siervos[a], sabiendo que vosotros también tenéis un Señor[b] en el cielo(A).
Exhortaciones finales
2 Perseverad en[c] la oración(B), velando en ella con acción de gracias; 3 orando al mismo tiempo también por nosotros, para que Dios nos abra una puerta(C) para la palabra(D), a fin de dar a conocer[d] el misterio de Cristo(E), por el cual también he sido encarcelado(F), 4 para manifestarlo como debo hacerlo[e](G). 5 Andad sabiamente(H) para con los de afuera(I), aprovechando bien[f] el tiempo(J). 6 Que vuestra conversación sea siempre con gracia(K), sazonada como con sal(L), para que sepáis cómo debéis responder a cada persona(M).
Asuntos personales
7 (N)En cuanto a todos mis asuntos, os informará Tíquico(O), nuestro amado hermano(P), fiel ministro y consiervo en el Señor. 8 Porque precisamente para esto os lo he enviado, para que sepáis de nuestras circunstancias y que conforte vuestros corazones(Q); 9 y con él a Onésimo[g](R), fiel y amado hermano(S), que es uno de vosotros(T). Ellos os informarán acerca de todo lo que aquí pasa.
Saludos
10 Aristarco(U), mi compañero de prisión(V), os envía saludos; también Marcos, el primo de Bernabé(W) (acerca del cual recibisteis instrucciones[h]; si va a vosotros(X), recibidle bien); 11 y también Jesús, llamado Justo; estos son los únicos colaboradores(Y) conmigo en[i] el reino de Dios que son de la circuncisión(Z), y ellos[j] han resultado ser un estímulo para mí. 12 Epafras(AA), que es uno de vosotros(AB), siervo de Jesucristo, os envía saludos, siempre esforzándose intensamente a favor vuestro en sus oraciones(AC), para que estéis firmes, perfectos[k](AD) y completamente seguros[l] en toda la voluntad de Dios. 13 Porque le soy testigo de que tiene profundo interés[m] por vosotros y por los que están en Laodicea(AE) y en Hierápolis. 14 Lucas(AF), el médico amado, os envía saludos, y también Demas(AG). 15 Saludad a los hermanos que están en Laodicea(AH), también a Ninfas y a la iglesia que está en su casa(AI). 16 Cuando esta[n] carta se haya leído entre vosotros, hacedla leer también en la iglesia de los laodicenses; y vosotros, por vuestra parte, leed la carta que viene de Laodicea(AJ). 17 Y decid a Arquipo(AK): Cuida[o] el ministerio que has recibido del Señor, para que lo cumplas(AL).
18 Yo, Pablo, escribo este saludo con mi propia mano[p](AM). Acordaos(AN) de mis cadenas[q](AO). La gracia sea con vosotros(AP).

Colossians 4
Christian Standard Bible
4 Masters,(A) deal with your slaves justly and fairly, since you know that you too have a Master in heaven.
Speaking to God and Others
2 Devote yourselves(B) to prayer; stay alert in it with thanksgiving. 3 At the same time, pray also for us that God may open a door(C) to us for the word, to speak the mystery of Christ,(D) for which I am in chains,(E) 4 so that I may make it known as I should. 5 Act wisely toward outsiders, making the most of the time.(F) 6 Let your speech always be gracious, seasoned with salt,(G) so that you may know how you should answer each person.(H)
Final Greetings
7 Tychicus,(I) our dearly loved brother, faithful(J) minister, and fellow servant in the Lord, will tell you all the news about me. 8 I have sent him to you for this very purpose, so that you may know how we are[a] and so that he may encourage(K) your hearts.(L) 9 He is coming with Onesimus,(M) a faithful and dearly loved brother, who is one of you. They will tell you about everything here.
10 Aristarchus, my fellow prisoner, sends you greetings, as does Mark,(N) Barnabas’s(O) cousin (concerning whom you have received instructions: if he comes to you, welcome him), 11 and so does Jesus who is called Justus. These alone of the circumcised are my coworkers for the kingdom of God, and they have been a comfort to me. 12 Epaphras,(P) who is one of you, a servant of Christ Jesus, sends you greetings. He is always wrestling(Q) for you in his prayers, so that you can stand mature and fully assured[b] in everything God wills.(R) 13 For I testify about him that he works hard[c](S) for you, for those in Laodicea,(T) and for those in Hierapolis. 14 Luke, the dearly loved physician, and Demas(U) send you greetings. 15 Give my greetings to the brothers and sisters in Laodicea, and to Nympha and the church in her home.(V) 16 After this letter has been read at your gathering, have it read also in the church of the Laodiceans; and see that you also read the letter from Laodicea. 17 And tell Archippus,(W) “Pay attention to the ministry you have received in the Lord, so that you can accomplish it.”(X)
18 I, Paul, am writing this greeting with my own hand. Remember my chains.(Y) Grace be with you.[d](Z)
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.
