1Ye masters, doe vnto your seruants, that which is iust, and equall, knowing that ye also haue a master in heauen. 2Continue in prayer, and watch in the same with thanksgiving; 3Withal 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: 4That I may vtter it, as it becommeth mee to speake. 5Walk in wisdom toward them that are without, redeeming the time. 6Let your speech [be] alway with grace, seasoned with salt, that ye may know how ye ought to answer every man. 7Tychicus our beloued brother and faithfull minister, and fellow seruant in the Lord, shall declare vnto you my whole state: 8Whom I haue sent vnto you for the same purpose that he might know your state, & might comfort your hearts, 9With Onesimus a faithfull and a beloued brother, who is one of you. They shall shew you of all things here. 10Aristarchus my prison fellow saluteth you, and Marcus, Barnabas cousin (touching whom ye receiued commandements. If he come vnto you, receiue him) 11And Jesus, which is called Justus, who are of the circumcision. These only [are my] fellowworkers unto the kingdom of God, which have been a comfort unto me. 12Epaphras the seruant of Christ, which is one of you, saluteth you, and alwayes striueth for you in prayers, that ye may stand perfect, and full in all the will of God. 13For I beare him record, that he hath a great zeale for you, and for them of Laodicea, & them of Hierapolis. 14Luke the beloued physician greeteth you, and Demas. 15Salute the brethren which are of Laodicea, and Nymphas, and the Church which is in his house. 16And when this Epistle is read of you, cause that it be read in the Church of the Laodiceans also, and that ye likewise reade the Epistle written from Laodicea. 17And say to Archippus, Take heede to the ministerie, that thou hast receiued in the Lorde, that thou fulfill it. 18The salutation by the hand of me Paul. Remember my bands. Grace be with you, Amen. Written from Rome to the Colossians, and sent by Tychicus, and Onesimus.
