Colossians 4 - Interlinear Bible

Fellow Workers

1 Masters, grant to your slaves justice and fairness, knowing that you too have a Master in heaven.

2 Devote yourselves to prayer, keeping alert in it with an attitude of thanksgiving ;

3 praying 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 ;

6 Let your speech always be with grace, as though seasoned with salt, so that you will know how you should respond to each person.
