## Colossians 4:3-18 in Context (Verses 1–18 KJV)
 
 [1 ](/kjv/colossians/4/1) Masters, give unto *your* servants that which is just and equal; knowing that ye also have a Master in heaven.
 
 [2 ](/kjv/colossians/4/2) Continue in prayer, and watch in the same with thanksgiving;
 
 [3 ](/kjv/colossians/4/3) Withal 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:
 
 [4 ](/kjv/colossians/4/4) That I may make it manifest, as I ought to speak.
 
 [5 ](/kjv/colossians/4/5) Walk in wisdom toward them that are without, redeeming the time.
 
 [6 ](/kjv/colossians/4/6) Let your speech *be* alway with grace, seasoned with salt, that ye may know how ye ought to answer every man.
 
 [7 ](/kjv/colossians/4/7) All my state shall Tychicus declare unto you, *who is* a beloved brother, and a faithful minister and fellowservant in the Lord:
 
 [8 ](/kjv/colossians/4/8) Whom I have sent unto you for the same purpose, that he might know your estate, and comfort your hearts;
 
 [9 ](/kjv/colossians/4/9) With Onesimus, a faithful and beloved brother, who is *one* of you. They shall make known unto you all things which *are done* here.
 
 [10 ](/kjv/colossians/4/10) Aristarchus my fellowprisoner saluteth you, and Marcus, sister’s son to Barnabas, (touching whom ye received commandments: if he come unto you, receive him;)
 
 [11 ](/kjv/colossians/4/11) And 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.
 
 [12 ](/kjv/colossians/4/12) Epaphras, 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.
 
 [13 ](/kjv/colossians/4/13) For I bear him record, that he hath a great zeal for you, and them *that are* in Laodicea, and them in Hierapolis.
 
 [14 ](/kjv/colossians/4/14) Luke, the beloved physician, and Demas, greet you.
 
 [15 ](/kjv/colossians/4/15) Salute the brethren which are in Laodicea, and Nymphas, and the church which is in his house.
 
 [16 ](/kjv/colossians/4/16) And 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.
 
 [17 ](/kjv/colossians/4/17) And say to Archippus, Take heed to the ministry which thou hast received in the Lord, that thou fulfil it.
 
 [18 ](/kjv/colossians/4/18) The salutation by the hand of me Paul. Remember my bonds. Grace *be* with you. Amen.
