Fellow
Workers |
|
|
 |
|
Colossians 4:1
|
|
Masters, grant to your slaves justice and fairness,
knowing that you too have a Master in heaven. |
|
|
|
|
|
Colossians 4:2
|
|
Devote yourselves to prayer, keeping alert in
it with an attitude of thanksgiving; |
| |
|
|
|
Colossians 4:3
|
|
praying at the same time for us as well, that
God will open up to us a door for the word, so that we may speak forth the mystery
of Christ, for which I have also been imprisoned; |
| |
|
|
|
Colossians 4:4
|
|
that I may make it clear in the way I ought
to speak. |
| |
|
|
|
Colossians 4:5
|
|
Conduct yourselves with wisdom toward outsiders,
making the most of the opportunity. |
| |
|
|
|
Colossians 4:6
|
|
Let your speech always be with grace, as though
seasoned with salt, so that you will know how you should respond to each person. |
| |
|
|
|
Colossians 4:7
|
|
As to all my affairs, Tychicus, our beloved
brother and faithful servant and fellow bond-servant in the Lord, will bring you
information. |
|
|
|
|
Colossians 4:8
|
|
For I have sent him to you for this very purpose,
that you may know about our circumstances and that he may encourage your hearts;
|
|
|
|
|
Colossians 4:9
|
|
and with him Onesimus, our faithful and beloved
brother, who is one of your number. They will inform you about the whole situation
here. |
|
|
|
|
Colossians 4:10
|
|
Aristarchus, my fellow prisoner, sends you his
greetings; and also Barnabas's cousin Mark (about whom you received instructions;
if he comes to you, welcome him); |
|
|
|
|
Colossians 4:11
|
|
and also Jesus who is called Justus; these are
the only fellow workers for the kingdom of God who are from the circumcision,
and they have proved to be an encouragement to me. |
|
|
|
|
Colossians 4:12
|
|
Epaphras, who is one of your number, a bondslave
of Jesus Christ, sends you his greetings, always laboring earnestly for you in
his prayers, that you may stand perfect and fully assured in all the will of God. |
|
|
|
|
Colossians 4:13
|
|
For I testify for him that he has a deep concern
for you and for those who are in Laodicea and Hierapolis. |
|
|
|
|
Colossians 4:14
|
|
Luke, the beloved physician, sends you his greetings,
and also Demas. |
|
|
|
|
Colossians 4:15
|
|
Greet the brethren who are in Laodicea and also
Nympha and the church that is in her house. |
|
|
|
|
Colossians 4:16
|
|
When this letter is read among you, have it
also read in the church of the Laodiceans; and you, for your part read my letter
that is coming from Laodicea. |
|
|
|
|
Colossians 4:17
|
|
Say to Archippus, "Take heed to the ministry
which you have received in the Lord, that you may fulfill it." |
|
|
|
|
Colossians 4:18
|
|
I, Paul, write this greeting with my own hand.
Remember my imprisonment. Grace be with you. |
