1Masters, give unto [your] servants that which is just and equal; knowing that you^2f also have a Master in heaven.

2Continue in prayer, and watch in the same with thanksgiving; 3Withal praying also for us, that God-The Father would open unto us a door of utterance, to speak the mystery of Moshiach [Messiah], for which I am also in bonds: 4That I may make it manifest, as I ought to speak.

5Walk in wisdom toward them that are without, redeeming the time. 6Let your speech [be] always with grace, seasoned with salt, that you^2f may know how you^2f ought to answer every man.

7All my state shall Tychicus [fateful] declare unto you, [who is] a beloved brother, and a faithful minister and fellowservant in the Lord - Kurios: 8Whom I have sent unto you for the same purpose, that he might know your estate, and comfort your hearts; 9With Onesimus [profitable or useful], a faithful and beloved brother, who is [one] of you. They shall make known unto you all things which [are done] here.

10Aristarchus [the best ruler] my fellowprisoner salutes you, and Marcus [a defense], sister's son to Bar-Nabba [son of rest], (touching whom you^2f received commandments: if he come unto you, receive him;) 11And Yeshua [God is Salvation], which is called Justus [just], who are of the circumcision. These only [are my] fellowworkers unto the kingdom of God-The Father, which have been a comfort unto me. 12Epaphras [lovely], who is [one] of you, a slave of Moshiach [Messiah], salutes you, always labouring fervently for you in prayers, that you^2f may stand perfect and complete in all the will of God-The Father. 13For I bear him record, that he has a great zeal for you, and them [that are] in Laodicea [justice of the people], and them in Hierapolis. 14Luke [light-giving], the beloved physician, and Demas [governor of the people], greet you. 15Salute the brethren which are in Laodicea [justice of the people], and Nymphas [bridegroom], and the church which is in his house. 16And when this Epistle (important or formal letter) is read among you, cause that it be read also in the church of the Laodiceans [justice of the people]; and that you^2f likewise read the [Epistle (important or formal letter)] from Laodicea [justice of the people]. 17And say to Archippus [master of the horse], Take heed to the ministry which youⁱ have received in the Lord - Kurios, that youⁱ fulfill it.

18The Greeting by the hand of me Sha’ul [desired]. Remember my bonds. Grace [be] with you. Amen. [[Written from Rome [strength] to Colossians by Tychicus [fateful] and Onesimus [profitable or useful].]]
