4 Amos, proporcionen a sus esclavos lo que es justo y equitativo, conscientes de que ustedes también tienen un Amo en el cielo.
Instrucciones adicionales
2 Dedíquense a la oración: perseveren en ella con agradecimiento 3 y, al mismo tiempo, intercedan por nosotros a fin de que Dios nos abra la puerta para proclamar la palabra, el misterio de Cristo por el cual estoy preso. 4 Oren para que yo lo anuncie con claridad, como debo hacerlo. 5 Vivan sabiamente con los que no creen en Cristo,[a] aprovechando al máximo cada momento oportuno. 6 Que su conversación sea siempre amena y de buen gusto. Así sabrán cómo responder a cada uno.
Saludos finales
7 Nuestro querido hermano Tíquico, fiel servidor y colaborador en el Señor, les contará en detalle cómo me va. 8 Precisamente, lo envío a ustedes para que sepan cómo estamos y para que cobren ánimo.[b] 9 Va con Onésimo, querido y fiel hermano, que es uno de ustedes. Ellos los pondrán al tanto de todo lo que sucede aquí.
10 Aristarco, mi compañero de cárcel, les manda saludos, como también Marcos, el primo de Bernabé. En cuanto a Marcos, ustedes ya han recibido instrucciones; si va a visitarlos, recíbanlo bien.
11 También los saluda Jesús, llamado Justo. Estos son los únicos judíos que colaboran conmigo en pro del reino de Dios y me han sido de mucho consuelo.
12 Les manda saludos Epafras, que es uno de ustedes. Este siervo de Cristo Jesús está siempre luchando en oración por ustedes, para que con madurez se mantengan firmes cumpliendo en todo la voluntad de Dios. 13 A mí me consta que él se preocupa mucho por ustedes y por los que están en Laodicea y en Hierápolis.
14 Los saludan Lucas, el querido médico, y Demas.
15 Saluden 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 les haya leído a ustedes esta carta, que se lea también en la iglesia de Laodicea, y ustedes lean la carta dirigida a esa iglesia.
17 Díganle 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. Recuerden que estoy preso. Que la gracia sea con ustedes.

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.
10 (R)Aristarchus my fellow prisoner greets you, with (S)Mark the cousin of Barnabas (about whom you received instructions: if he comes to you, welcome him), 11 and Jesus who is called Justus. These are my only fellow workers for the kingdom of God who are of the circumcision; they have proved to be a comfort to me.
12 (T)Epaphras, who is one of you, a bondservant of Christ, greets you, always (U)laboring fervently for you in prayers, that you may stand (V)perfect and [c]complete in all the will of God. 13 For I bear him witness that he has a great [d]zeal for you, and those who are in Laodicea, and those in Hierapolis. 14 (W)Luke the beloved physician and (X)Demas greet you. 15 Greet the brethren who are in Laodicea, and [e]Nymphas and (Y)the church that is in [f]his house.
Closing Exhortations and Blessing
16 Now when (Z)this epistle is read among you, see that it is read also in the church of the Laodiceans, and that you likewise read the epistle from Laodicea. 17 And say to (AA)Archippus, “Take heed to (AB)the ministry which you have received in the Lord, that you may fulfill it.”
18 (AC)This salutation by my own hand—Paul. (AD)Remember my chains. Grace be with you. Amen.

Colossians 4
New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition
4 1 Masters, treat your slaves justly and fairly, for you know that you also have a Master in heaven.
Further Instructions
2 Devote yourselves to prayer, keeping alert in it with thanksgiving. 3 At the same time pray for us as well that God will open to us a door for the word, that we may declare the mystery of Christ, for which I am in prison, 4 so that I may reveal it clearly, as I should.
5 Conduct yourselves wisely towards outsiders, making the most of the time.[a] 6 Let your speech always be gracious, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how you ought to answer everyone.
Final Greetings and Benediction
7 Tychicus will tell you all the news about me; he is a beloved brother, a faithful minister, and a fellow-servant[b] in the Lord. 8 I have sent him to you for this very purpose, so that you may know how we are[c] and that he may encourage your hearts; 9 he is coming with Onesimus, the faithful and beloved brother, who is one of you. They will tell you about everything here.
10 Aristarchus my fellow-prisoner greets you, as does Mark the cousin of Barnabas, concerning whom you have received instructions—if he comes to you, welcome him. 11 And Jesus who is called Justus greets you. These are the only ones of the circumcision among my co-workers for the kingdom of God, and they have been a comfort to me. 12 Epaphras, who is one of you, a servant[d] of Christ Jesus, greets you. He is always wrestling in his prayers on your behalf, so that you may stand mature and fully assured in everything that God wills. 13 For I testify for him that he has worked hard for you and for those in Laodicea and in Hierapolis. 14 Luke, the beloved physician, and Demas greet you. 15 Give my greetings to the brothers and sisters[e] in Laodicea, and to Nympha and the church in her house. 16 And when this letter has been read among you, have it read also in the church of the Laodiceans; and see that you read also the letter from Laodicea. 17 And say to Archippus, ‘See that you complete the task that you have received in the Lord.’
18 I, Paul, write this greeting with my own hand. Remember my chains. Grace be with you.[f]
