Colossians 4:1-6 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

1. Masters, grant your slaves justice and fairness, knowing that you also have a master in heaven.

2. Be devoted to prayer, keeping alert in it with thanksgiving,

3. praying at the same time for us also, that God may open for us a door of the message, to speak the mystery of Christ, for which also I am a prisoner,

4. so that I may reveal it, as it is necessary for me to speak.

5. Live with wisdom toward those outside, making the most of the time.

6. Let your speech always be with grace, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how it is necessary for you to answer each one.
