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)
