Colosenses 4
Reina-Valera Antigua
4 AMOS, haced lo que es justo y derecho con vuestros siervos, sabiendo que también vosotros tenéis amo en los cielos.
2 Perseverad en oración, velando en ella con hacimiento de gracias:
3 Orando también juntamente por nosotros, que el Señor nos abra la puerta de la palabra, para hablar el misterio de Cristo, por el cual aun estoy preso,
4 Para que lo manifieste como me conviene hablar.
5 Andad en sabiduría para con los extraños, redimiendo el tiempo.
6 Sea vuestra palabra siempre con gracia, sazonada con sal; para que sepáis cómo os conviene responder á cada uno.
7 Todos mis negocios os hará saber Tichîco, hermano amado y fiel ministro y consiervo en el Señor:
8 El cual os he enviado á esto mismo, para que entienda vuestros negocios, y consuele vuestros corazones;
9 Con Onésimo, amado y fiel hermano, el cual es de vosotros. Todo lo que acá pasa, os harán saber.
10 Aristarchô, mi compañero en la prisión, os saluda, y Marcos, el sobrino de Bernabé (acerca del cual habéis recibido mandamientos; si fuere á vosotros, recibidle),
11 Y Jesús, el que se llama Justo; los cuales son de la circuncisión: éstos solos son los que me ayudan en el reino de Dios, y me han sido consuelo.
12 Os saluda Epafras, el cual es de vosotros, siervo de Cristo, siempre solícito por vosotros en oraciones, para que estéis firmes, perfectos y cumplidos en todo lo que Dios quiere.
13 Porque le doy testimonio, que tiene gran celo por vosotros, y por los que están en Laodicea, y los que en Hierápolis.
14 Os saluda Lucas, el médico amado, y Demas.
15 Saludad á los hermanos que están en Laodicea, y á Nimfas, y á la iglesia que está en su casa.
16 Y cuando esta carta fuere leída entre vosotros, haced que también sea leída en la iglesia de los Laodicenses; y la de Laodicea que la leáis también vosotros.
17 Y decid á Archîpo: Mira que cumplas el ministerio que has recibido del Señor.
18 La salutación de mi mano, de Pablo. Acordaos de mis prisiones. La gracia sea con vosotros. Amén. enviada con Tichîco y Onésimo.
Colossians 4

Colossians 4
New International Version
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)

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.
