Masters,
give unto your servants that which is just and
equal; knowing that ye also have a Master in
heaven.
02 Continue in prayer, and watch in the same with
thanksgiving;
03 Withal praying also for us, that God would
open unto us a door of utterance, to speak the
mystery of Christ, for which I am also in bonds:
04 That I may make it manifest, as I ought to
speak.
05 Walk in wisdom toward them that are without,
redeeming the time.
06 Let your speech be alway with grace, seasoned
with salt, that ye may know how ye ought to
answer every man.
07 All my state shall Tychicus declare unto you,
who is a beloved brother, and a faithful minister
and fellowservant in the Lord:
08 Whom I have sent unto you for the same
purpose, that he might know your estate, and
comfort your hearts;
09 With Onesimus, a faithful and beloved brother,
who is one of you. They shall make known unto you
all things which are done here.
10 Aristarchus my fellowprisoner saluteth you,
and Marcus, sister's son to Barnabas, (touching
whom ye received commandments: if he come unto
you, receive him;)
