Chapter 4

1

The masters! that which is righteous and equal to the servants give ye, having known that ye also have a Master in the heavens.

2

In the prayer continue ye, watching in it in thanksgiving;

3

praying at the same time also for us, that God may open to us a door for the word, to speak the secret of the Christ, because of which also I have been bound,

4

that I may manifest it, as it behoveth me to speak;

5

in wisdom walk ye toward those without, the time forestalling;

6

your word always in grace -- with salt being seasoned -- to know how it behoveth you to answer each one.

7

All the things concerning me make known to you shall Tychicus -- the beloved brother, and faithful ministrant, and fellow-servant in the Lord --

8

whom I did send unto you for this very thing, that he might know the things concerning you, and might comfort your hearts,

9

with Onesimus the faithful and beloved brother, who is of you; all things to you shall they make known that [are] here.

10

Salute you doth Aristarchus, my fellow-captive, and Marcus, the nephew of Barnabas, (concerning whom ye did receive commands -- if he may come unto you receive him,)

11

and Jesus who is called Justus, who are of the circumcision: these only [are] fellow-workers for the reign of God who did become a comfort to me.

12

Salute you doth Epaphras, who [is] of you, a servant of Christ, always striving for you in the prayers, that ye may stand perfect and made full in all the will of God,

13

for I do testify to him, that he hath much zeal for you, and those in Laodicea, and those in Hierapolis.

14

Salute you doth Lukas, the beloved physician, and Demas;

15

salute ye those in Laodicea -- brethren, and Nymphas, and the assembly in his house;

16

and when the epistle may be read with you, cause that also in the assembly of the Laodiceans it may be read, and the [epistle] from Laodicea that ye also may read;

17

and say to Archippus, 'See to the ministration that thou didst receive in the Lord, that thou mayest fulfil it.'

18

The salutation by the hand of me, Paul; remember my bonds; the grace [is] with you. Amen.

1st Thessalonians 1
