Colossians 4:1-6

1 Masters, be just and fair to your slaves, knowing that you yourselves have a master in heaven.
2 Keep on praying and guard your prayers with thanksgiving.
3 At the same time, pray for us also. Pray that God would open a door for the word so we can preach the secret plan of Christ—which is why I'm in chains.
4 Pray that I might be able to make it as clear as I ought to when I preach.
5 Act wisely toward outsiders, making the most of the opportunity.
6 Your speech should always be gracious and sprinkled with insight so that you may know how to respond to every person.
