Colossians 4:6 Let your speech be always with grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought to answer every man. Travelling by diligence from Geneva to Dole with a Roman Catholic, I said to him, simply, "I should like to speak to you about your soul, but I don't know how to go about it." "Well, sir, go on," said the man, heartily. I continued, or rather we continued, and, on leaving him, I had the happiness of hearing him thank God for having made some one speak to him of salvation, and he begged me to send him a Bible. In general, I have found that if one commences a conversation of this kind with kindness and politeness, one will be always listened to. This is, besides, the only way to succeed. (C. Malan.) Parallel Verses KJV: Let your speech be alway with grace, seasoned with salt, that ye may know how ye ought to answer every man. |
