Colossians 4 Masters, treat your servants justly and fairly; remember you have a Master of your own in heaven.

Moffatt⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Masters, treat your servants justly and fairly; remember you have a Master of your own in heaven. ² Attend to your prayers, maintain your zest for prayer by thanksgiving; ³ and pray for me as well, that God may give me an opening for the word, to speak of the open secret of Christ for which I am in custody. ⁴ Pray that I may unfold it as I should. ⁵ Let Christian wisdom rule your behaviour to the outside world; make the very most of your time; ⁶ let your talk always have a saving salt of grace about it, and learn how to answer any question put to you. ⁷ Tychicus, that beloved brother and faithful minister and fellow-servant in the Lord, will give you all information about me. ⁸ The reason why I am sending him to you is that he may ascertain how you are, and encourage your hearts. ⁹ He is accompanied by that faithful and beloved brother Onesimus, who is one of yourselves. They will inform you of all that goes on here. ¹⁰ Aristarchus my fellow-prisoner salutes you; so does Mark, the cousin of Barnabas, about whom you have got instructions (if he comes to you, give him a welcome); ¹¹ and so does Jesus who is called Justus. These are the only comrades in the work of God's realm, belonging to the circumcised, who have been any comfort to me. ¹² Epaphras, who is one of yourselves, salutes you — a servant of Christ Jesus who is always earnest in prayer for you, that you may stand firm like mature and convinced Christians, whatever be the will of God for you. ¹³ I can testify to his exertions on your behalf and on behalf of those at Laodicea and Hierapolis. ¹⁴ Our beloved Luke, the doctor, salutes you; so does Demas. ¹⁵ Salute the brothers at Laodicea, also Nympha and the church which meets at her house. ¹⁶ And when this letter has been read to you, see that it is also read in the church of the Laodiceans; also, see that you read the letter that reaches you from Laodicea. ¹⁷ And tell Archippus, 'Attend to the ministry you have received in the Lord; see that you fulfil it.' ¹⁸ This salutation is in my own hand, from Paul. 'Remember I am in prison. Grace be with you.'
