1 Masters, give to the bondmen that which is just and that which is fair, knowing that you also have a Master in heaven.2 You persist firmly in prayer, being alert in it with thanksgiving,3 at the same time praying also for us, in order that Yahweh would create an opportunity for the Word, for us to speak of the mystery of the Anointed, for which I also have been bound,4 that I may make it known as it is necessary for me to speak.5 In reference to those outside, you walk in wisdom, buying the time,6 your speech always with goodwill, seasoned with salt. It is necessary for you to know in what manner to answer every single one.7 All of the things concerning me Tuchikos, the beloved brother and faithful servant and fellow bondmen among the number of the Prince, will make known to you;8 whom I have sent to you for this very thing, that you would know of the things concerning us and your hearts would be encouraged,9 with Onasimos, the faithful and beloved brother, who is one of yours. All things they will make known to you then.10 Aristarchos my fellow prisoner greets you, and Markos - the cousin of Barnabas (concerning whom you have received instructions, if he should come to you, receive him),11 and Iasous who is called Ioustos. These are the only fellow-workers for the Kingdom of Yahweh who are of the circumcision who have been a consolation to me.12 Epaphras, a bondman of Christ Yahshua, who is one of yours, greets you, always striving on your behalf in prayers, that you would stand perfect and be fully assured in every purpose of Yahweh;13 for I testify for him that he has much labor for you and those in Laodikeia and those in Hierapolis.14 Loukas the beloved physician greets you, and Damas.15 Greet the brethren in Laodikeia, and Numpha and the assembly at her house,16 and when the letter is read among you, ensure also that it is read in the assembly of the Laodikeians, and that from Laodikeia, that also you should read.17 Also tell Archippos: "Watch the ministry which you have received by the Prince, that you would fulfill it."18 This salutation of Paul is by my own hand. Remember my bonds. Favor be with you.
