Colossians 4 Masters, render to your servants what is just and equitable; knowing that you have a master in heaven.

Thomson⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Masters, render to your servants what is just and equitable; knowing that you have a master in heaven. ² Continue in the constant exercise of prayer, watching there in with thanksgiving; ³ praying at the same time for us also, that God would open for us the door of the word, that we may declare the mystery of the Christ [for which I indeed am in. bonds] ⁴ that I may publish it in the manner ought to do. ⁵ Walk in wisdom towards them who are without, redeeming the time. ⁶ Let your conversation be always with courteousness, seasoned with salt, with a knowledge how you ought to answer every one. ⁷ With regard to my affairs, you will receive full information from Tychicus, the beloved brother, and faithful minister, and fellow servant in the Lord, ⁸ whom I have sent to you for this very purpose, that he may know your situation and comfort your hearts; ⁹ together with Onesimus, the faithful and beloved brother, who is one of you. They will inform you of the state of all things here. ¹⁰ Aristarchus, my fellow prisoner, saluteth you. So doth Marcus the nephew of Barnabas, concerning whom you have received letters of recommendation, If he come to you, receive him. ¹¹ Jesus also, who is called Justus, saluteth you. These are the only persons of the circumcision who are my fellow labourers for the kingdom of God. These have been a comfort to me. ¹² Epaphras who is one of you, a servant of Christ, saluteth you, always in his prayers making the most fervent supplications for you, that you may stand perfect and confirmed in all the will of God. ¹³ For I bear him witness that he hath a great zeal for you, and for those of Laodicea and Hierapolis. ¹⁴ Luke the physician, the beloved, saluteth you: so doth Demas. ¹⁵ Salute the brethren at Laodicea, particularly Nymphas and the congregation at his house. ¹⁶ And when this letter hath been read among you cause it to be read also in the congregation of the Laodiceans; and read ye that from Laodicea. ¹⁷ And say to Archippus, Be careful to discharge the office which thou hast received from the Lord. ¹⁸ The salutation of me Paul with my own hand. Remember my bonds. The favour be with you. Amen.
