Colosenses 4
Reina Valera Revisada
4 Amos, haced lo que es justo y equitativo con vuestros siervos, sabiendo que también vosotros tenéis un Amo en los cielos.
2 Perseverad en la oración, velando en ella con acción de gracias;
3 orando también al mismo tiempo por nosotros, para que el Señor nos abra puerta para la palabra, a fin de dar a conocer el misterio de Cristo, por el cual también estoy preso,
4 para que lo manifieste con la claridad con que debo hablarlo.
5 Andad sabiamente para con los de afuera, redimiendo el tiempo.
6 Sea vuestra palabra siempre con gracia, sazonada con sal, para que sepáis cómo debéis responder a cada uno.
Saludos finales
7 Todo lo que a mí se refiere, os lo hará saber Tíquico, el amado hermano y fiel ministro y consiervo en el Señor,
8 a quien he enviado a vosotros para esto mismo, para que conozca lo que a vosotros se refiere, y conforte vuestros corazones,
9 con Onésimo, el amado y fiel hermano, que es uno de vosotros. Todo lo que acá pasa, os lo harán saber.
10 Aristarco, mi compañero de prisiones, os saluda, y Marcos el primo de Bernabé, acerca del cual habéis recibido instrucciones; si va a vosotros, recibidle;
11 y Jesús, llamado Justo; que son los únicos de la circuncisión que colaboran conmigo en el reino de Dios, y han sido para mí un consuelo.
12 Os saluda Epafras, el cual es uno de vosotros, siervo de Cristo, siempre esforzándose intensamente por vosotros en sus oraciones, para que estéis firmes, perfectos y completos en todo lo que Dios quiere.
13 Porque de él doy testimonio de que tiene gran solicitud por vosotros, y por los que están en Laodicea, y los que están en Hierápolis.
14 Os saluda Lucas, el médico amado, y Demas.
15 Saludad a los hermanos que están en Laodicea, y a Ninfas y a la iglesia que está en su casa.
16 Cuando esta carta haya sido leída entre vosotros, haced que también se lea en la iglesia de los laodicenses, y que la de Laodicea la leáis también vosotros.
17 Decid a Arquipo: Considera el ministerio que recibiste en el Señor, para que lo cumplas.
18 La salutación es de mi propia mano, de Pablo. Acordaos de mis prisiones. La gracia sea con vosotros. Amén.

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.
