[KJV] chapters
[1],[2],[3],
Colossians 4
1 Masters, give unto your servants that which is
just and equal; knowing that ye also have a Master in
heaven.
2 Continue in prayer, and watch in the same with
thanksgiving;
3 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:
4 That I may make it manifest, as I ought to speak.
5 Walk in wisdom toward them that are without,
redeeming the time.
6 Let your speech be alway with grace, seasoned with
salt, that ye may know how ye ought to answer every
man.
7 All my state shall Tychicus declare unto you, who
is a beloved brother, and a faithful minister and
fellowservant in the Lord:
8 Whom I have sent unto you for the same purpose,
that he might know your estate, and comfort your
hearts;
9 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;)
11 And 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.
12 Epaphras, who is one of you, a servant of Christ,
saluteth you, always labouring fervently for you in
prayers, that ye may stand perfect and complete in
all the will of God.
13 For I bear him record, that he hath a great zeal
for you, and them that are in Laodicea, and them in
Hierapolis.
14 Luke, the beloved physician, and Demas, greet you.
15 Salute the brethren which are in Laodicea, and
Nymphas, and the church which is in his house.
16 And when this epistle is read among you, cause
that it be read also in the church of the Laodiceans;
and that ye likewise read the epistle from Laodicea.
17 And say to Archippus, Take heed to the ministry
which thou hast received in the Lord, that thou
fulfil it.
18 The salutation by the hand of me Paul. Remember my
bonds. Grace be with you. Amen.
