Colossians 4:2-6
He exhorts them to be fervent in prayer, to walk wisely with regard to persons who have not yet come to the true knowledge of Christ, and greets them.
2 Continue in prayer, and keep vigil in the same with thanksgiving, 3 praying also for us: that God would open for us the door of utterance so that we may speak the mystery of Christ, for which I am also in bonds; 4 that I may speak it as it behoves me to do.
5 Walk wisely toward those who are without, and redeem the time. 6 Let your speech be always with grace and powdered with salt, so that you may know how to answer every person.
