📖 Colossians introduction

Read the chapter

1Masters, give unto your servants that which is just and equal; knowing that ye also have a Master in heaven. ✦ 2Continue in prayer, and watch in the same with thanksgiving; ✦ 3Withal praying also for us, that God would open unto us a door of utterance, to speak the mystery of Christ, 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 alway with grace, seasoned with salt, that ye may know how ye ought to answer every man. ✦ 7All my state shall Tychicus declare unto you, who is a beloved brother, and a faithful minister and fellowservant in the Lord: ✦ 8Whom I have sent unto you for the same purpose, that he might know your estate, and comfort your hearts; ✦ 9With Onesimus, a faithful and beloved brother, who is one of you. They shall make known unto you all things which are done here. ✦ 10Aristarchus my fellowprisoner saluteth you, and Marcus, sister’s son to Barnabas, (touching whom ye received commandments: if he come unto you, receive him;) ✦ 11And Jesus, which is called Justus, who are of the circumcision. These only are my fellowworkers unto the kingdom of God, which have been a comfort unto me. ✦ 12Epaphras, who is one of you, a servant of Christ, saluteth you, always labouring fervently for you in prayers, that ye may stand perfect and complete in all the will of God. ✦ 13For I bear him record, that he hath a great zeal for you, and them that are in Laodicea, and them in Hierapolis. ✦ 14Luke, the beloved physician, and Demas, greet you. ✦ 15Salute the brethren which are in Laodicea, and Nymphas, and the church which is in his house. ✦ 16And when this epistle is read among you, cause that it be read also in the church of the Laodiceans; and that ye likewise read the epistle from Laodicea. ✦ 17And say to Archippus, Take heed to the ministry which thou hast received in the Lord, that thou fulfil it. ✦ 18The salutation by the hand of me Paul. Remember my bonds. Grace be with you. Amen. ✦
