1
Masters, give your bondservants what is just and fair, knowing that you also have a Master in heaven.
2
Continue earnestly in prayer, being vigilant in it with thanksgiving;
3
meanwhile praying also for us, that God would open to us a door for the word, to speak the mystery of Christ, for which I am also in chains,
4
that I may make it manifest, as I ought to speak.
5
Walk in wisdom toward those who are outside, redeeming the time.
6
Let your speech always be with grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought to answer each one.
