4 Masters, treat your bondservants[a] justly and fairly, knowing that you also have a Master in heaven.
Further Instructions
2 (A)Continue steadfastly in prayer, being watchful in it (B)with thanksgiving. 3 At the same time, pray also for us, that God may (C)open to us a door for the word, (D)to declare the mystery of Christ, (E)on account of which I am in prison— 4 that I may make it clear, which is how I ought to speak.
5 (F)Walk in wisdom toward (G)outsiders, making the best use of the time. 6 Let your speech always (H)be gracious, (I)seasoned with salt, (J)so that you may know how you ought to answer each person.
Final Greetings
7 Tychicus will tell you (K)all about my activities. He is a beloved brother and faithful minister and fellow servant[b] in the Lord. 8 I have sent him to you for this very purpose, that you may know how we are and that he may encourage your hearts, 9 and with him (L)Onesimus, our faithful and (M)beloved brother, who is one of you.

(R)These are the only men of the circumcision among my fellow workers for the kingdom of God, and (S)they have been a comfort to me. 12 (T)Epaphras, who is one of you, a servant of Christ Jesus, greets you, always (U)struggling on your behalf in his prayers, that you may stand (V)mature and fully assured in all the will of God. 13 For I bear him witness that he has worked hard for you and for those in Laodicea and in Hierapolis. 14 (W)Luke the beloved physician greets you, as does (X)Demas. 15 Give my greetings to the brothers[c] at Laodicea, and to Nympha and (Y)the church in her house. 16 And when (Z)this letter has been read among you, have it also read in the church of the Laodiceans; and see that you also read the letter from Laodicea. 17 And say to (AA)Archippus, “See that you fulfill (AB)the ministry that you have received in the Lord.”

歌羅西書 4
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Traditional)
4 你們作主人的，對待奴僕要公平合理，別忘了你們也有一位天上的主。
勉勵禱告
2 你們要以感恩和警醒的心恆切禱告。 3 要為我們禱告，求上帝為我們打開傳道的門，好傳揚基督的奧祕——我就是為此而被囚禁的。 4 也要求上帝使我能盡自己的本分把這奧祕講清楚。
5 你們要把握時機，運用智慧和非信徒交往。 6 談吐要溫和、風趣[a]，知道該怎樣回答每個人。
結語
7 有關我一切的事情，推基古會告訴你們。他是我親愛的弟兄，是和我一同事奉主的忠僕。 8 我特意派他去見你們，好讓你們知道我們的近況，並鼓勵你們。 9 這次和他同行的還有另一位忠心的弟兄——親愛的阿尼西謀，他是你們那裡的人。他們會把這裡的詳細情形告訴你們。
問候
10 和我一同坐牢的亞里達古問候你們，巴拿巴的表弟馬可也問候你們。關於馬可，我囑咐過你們，如果他去你們那裡，你們要接待他。 11 耶數，又名猶士都，問候你們。受過割禮的猶太基督徒中，只有這三人和我一同為上帝的國工作，他們是我的安慰。 12 來自你們那裡、作基督耶穌奴僕的以巴弗弟兄問候你們。他常常懇切地為你們禱告，好使你們信心堅定，生命成熟，深知上帝一切的旨意。 13 他為了你們以及老底嘉和希拉波立的弟兄姊妹而不辭勞苦，這是我可以作證的。 14 此外，親愛的路加醫生和底馬也問候你們。 15 請代我問候在老底嘉的弟兄姊妹，也問候寧法姊妹和在她家裡聚會的人。 16 你們當眾宣讀這封信後，也要交給老底嘉教會宣讀，你們也要宣讀老底嘉教會轉給你們的信。 17 請告訴亞基布務要完成主交給他的工作。 18 我保羅親筆問候你們。請你們不要忘記獄中的我。
願上帝的恩典常與你們同在！

Colosas 4
Ang Salita ng Diyos
4 Mga amo, ibigay ninyo sa inyong mga alipin kung anoang makatarungan at kung ano ang nararapat, yamang nalalaman ninyo na kayo rin ay may isang Panginoon sa langit.
Karagdagang Tagubilin
2 Magpatuloy kayong may kasigasigan sa pananalangin. Magbantay kayong may pagpapasalamat.
3 Idalangin din naman ninyo kami na magkaroon ng pagkakataong mula sa Diyos na makapangaral at makapaghayag kami ng hiwagani Cristo. Ito ang dahilan kung bakit ako din naman ay nabilanggo. 4 Idalangin ninyo na kapag ako ay magsalita, ito ay maging ayon sa nararapat kong pagpapaliwanag. 5 Mamuhay kayong may karunungan sa kanila na mga nasa labas at samantalahinninyo ang panahon. 6 Ang inyong pananalita ay maging mapagbiyayang lagi namay lasang asin upang malaman ninyo kung ano ang dapat ninyong isagot sabawat isa.
Panghuling Pagbati
7 Ang minamahal na kapatid na si Tiquico ang magbabalita sa inyo ng patungkol sa aking kalagayan. Siya ay isang tapat na tagapaglingkod at kapwa alipin sa Panginoon.
8 Siya ay sinugo ko sa inyo upang malaman ang inyong kalagayan at palakasin ang inyong loob. 9 Kasama niya si Onesimo, na isang tapat at minamahal na kapatid at kasama rin ninyo. Ipaaalam nila sa inyo ang lahat ng nangyayari dito.
10 Binabati kayo ni Aristarco na kasama ko sa bilangguan. Binabati rin kayo ni Marcos na pinsan ni Bernabe. Patungkol sa kaniya ay tumanggap na kayo ng mga tagubilin. Kaya pagdating niya diyan sa inyo ay tanggapin ninyo siya. 11 Binabati rin kayo ni Jesus na tinatawag na Justo. Sila ay mga nasa pagtutuli at sila lamang ang mga kamanggagawa ko para sa paghahari ng Diyos at sila ay kaaliwan sa akin. 12 Binabati rin kayo ni Epafras na isa sa inyo. Siya ay isang alipin ni Cristo na laging nananalangin ng mataimtim para sa inyo upang kayo ay maging ganap at lubos sa lahat ng kalooban ng Diyos. 13 Saksi ako sa kasigasigan niya para sa inyo at sa mga taga-Laodicea at sa mga taga-Hierapolis. 14 Binabati rin kayo ni Lucas na minamahal na manggagamot at gayundin ni Demas. 15 Batiin ninyo ang mga kapatid na nasa Laodicea, gayundin si Nimfa at sa iglesyang nagtitipon sa kaniyang bahay.
16 Pagkabasa ng sulat na ito sa inyo, ipabasa rin ninyo sa iglesiya sa Laodicea upang mabasa rin ninyo ang sulat na galing sa mga taga-Laodicea.
17 Sabihin ninyo kay Arquipo: Tiyakin mong maganap ang gawain ng paglilingkod na tinanggap mo sa Panginoon.
18 Akong si Pablo ang sumusulat ng pagbating ito. Alalahanin ninyo ang aking mga tanikala. Ang biyaya ay sumainyo. Siya nawa!

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)
