Qolasim (Colossians) 4
4
1Masters, give your servants what is righteous and fair, knowing that you also have a Master in the heavens.
2Continue in prayer, watching therein, with thanksgiving,
3praying at the same time also for us, that Elohim would open to us a door for the word, to speak the secret of Messiah, for which I am also in chains,
4so that I make it clear, as I should speak.
5Walk in wisdom toward those who are outside, redeeming the time.
6Let your word always be with favour, seasoned with salt, so that you know how you ought to answer each one.
7Tuchikos, who is a beloved brother, a true servant, and a fellow servant in the Master, shall give you all the news about me.
8I am sending him to you for this purpose, to know your circumstances and to encourage your hearts,
9with Onesimos, a true and beloved brother, who is one of you. They shall let you know all the news here.
10Aristarchos my fellow prisoner greets you, with Marqos the relative of Barnaḇa about whom you received instructions: if he comes to you, welcome him,
11also Yĕshua who is called Justus. These are my only fellow workers for the reign of Elohim who are of the circumcision, who were to me a comfort.
12Epaphras, who is one of you, a servant of Messiah, greets you, always wrestling for you in prayers, so that you stand perfect#See Mat. 5:48 and complete in all the desire of Elohim.
13For I bear him witness that he has a deep concern for you, and for those who are in Laodikeia and those in Hierapolis.
14Luqas the beloved physician and Demas greet you.
15Greet the brothers in Laodikeia, and Numpha and the assembly that is in his house.
16And when this letter is read among you, see that it is read also in the assembly of the Laodikeians, and that you likewise read the letter from Laodikeia.
17And say to Archippos, “See to the service which you have received in the Master, so that you complete it.”
18This greeting is in my own hand – Sha’ul. Remember my chains. Favour be with you. Amĕn.

Colossians 4
4
Fellow Workers
1Masters, grant to your slaves justice and fairness, knowing that you too have a Master in heaven.
2Devote yourselves to prayer, keeping alert in it with an attitude of thanksgiving; 3praying at the same time for us as well, that God will open up to us a door for the word, so that we may speak forth the mystery of Christ, for which I have also been imprisoned; 4that I may make it clear in the way I ought to speak.
5Conduct yourselves with wisdom toward outsiders, making the most of the opportunity. 6Let your speech always be with grace, as though seasoned with salt, so that you will know how you should respond to each person.
7As to all my affairs, Tychicus, our beloved brother and faithful servant and fellow bond-servant in the Lord, will bring you information. 8For I have sent him to you for this very purpose, that you may know about our circumstances and that he may encourage your hearts; 9and with him Onesimus, our faithful and beloved brother, who is one of your number. They will inform you about the whole situation here.
10Aristarchus, my fellow prisoner, sends you his greetings; and also Barnabas’s cousin Mark (about whom you received instructions; if he comes to you, welcome him); 11and also Jesus who is called Justus; these are the only fellow workers for the kingdom of God who are from the circumcision, and they have proved to be an encouragement to me. 12Epaphras, who is one of your number, a bondslave of Jesus Christ, sends you his greetings, always laboring earnestly for you in his prayers, that you may stand perfect and fully assured in all the will of God. 13For I testify for him that he has a deep concern for you and for those who are in Laodicea and Hierapolis. 14Luke, the beloved physician, sends you his greetings, and also Demas. 15Greet the brethren who are in Laodicea and also #Or Nymphas (masc)Nympha and the church that is in her house. 16When this letter is read among you, have it also read in the church of the Laodiceans; and you, for your part read my letter that is coming from Laodicea. 17Say to Archippus, “Take heed to the ministry which you have received in the Lord, that you may fulfill it.”
18I, Paul, write this greeting with my own hand. Remember my imprisonment. Grace be with you.
