Colossians 4

The Latin Vulgate w/ Apocrypha VULA

1 domini quod iustum est et aequum servis praestate scientes quoniam et vos Dominum habetis in caelo

2 orationi instate vigilantes in ea in gratiarum actione

3 orantes simul et pro nobis ut Deus aperiat nobis ostium sermonis ad loquendum mysterium Christi propter quod etiam vinctus sum

4 ut manifestem illud ita ut oportet me loqui

5 in sapientia ambulate ad eos qui foris sunt tempus redimentes

6 sermo vester semper in gratia sale sit conditus ut sciatis quomodo oporteat vos unicuique respondere

7 quae circa me sunt omnia vobis nota faciet Tychicus carissimus frater et fidelis minister et conservus in Domino

8 quem misi ad vos ad hoc ipsum ut cognoscat quae circa vos sunt et consoletur corda vestra

9 cum Onesimo carissimo et fideli fratre qui est ex vobis omnia quae hic aguntur nota facient vobis

10 salutat vos Aristarchus concaptivus meus et Marcus consobrinus Barnabae de quo accepistis mandata si venerit ad vos excipite illum

11 et Iesus qui dicitur Iustus qui sunt ex circumcisione hii soli sunt adiutores in regno Dei qui mihi fuerunt solacio

12 salutat vos Epaphras qui ex vobis est servus Christi Iesu semper sollicitus pro vobis in orationibus ut stetis perfecti et pleni in omni voluntate Dei

13 testimonium enim illi perhibeo quod habet multum laborem pro vobis et pro his qui sunt Laodiciae et qui Hierapoli

14 salutat vos Lucas medicus carissimus et Demas

15 salutate fratres qui sunt Laodiciae et Nympham et quae in domo eius est ecclesiam

16 et cum lecta fuerit apud vos epistula facite ut et in Laodicensium ecclesia legatur et eam quae Laodicensium est vos legatis

17 et dicite Archippo vide ministerium quod accepisti in Domino ut illud impleas

18 salutatio mea manu Pauli memores estote vinculorum meorum gratia vobiscum amen

New International Version NIV

1 Masters, provide your slaves with what is right and fair, because you know that you also have a Master in heaven.

2 Devote yourselves to prayer, being watchful and thankful.

3 And pray for us, too, that God may open a door for our message, so that we may proclaim the mystery of Christ, for which I am in chains.

4 Pray that I may proclaim it clearly, as I should.

5 Be wise in the way you act toward outsiders; make the most of every opportunity.

6 Let your conversation be always full of grace, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how to answer everyone.

7 Tychicus will tell you all the news about me. He is a dear brother, a faithful minister and fellow servant in the Lord.

8 I am sending him to you for the express purpose that you may know about our circumstances and that he may encourage your hearts.

9 He is coming with Onesimus, our faithful and dear brother, who is one of you. They will tell you everything that is happening here.

10 My fellow prisoner Aristarchus sends you his greetings, as does Mark, the cousin of Barnabas. (You have received instructions about him; if he comes to you, welcome him.)

11 Jesus, who is called Justus, also sends greetings. These are the only Jews among my co-workers for the kingdom of God, and they have proved a comfort to me.

12 Epaphras, who is one of you and a servant of Christ Jesus, sends greetings. He is always wrestling in prayer for you, that you may stand firm in all the will of God, mature and fully assured.

13 I vouch for him that he is working hard for you and for those at Laodicea and Hierapolis.

14 Our dear friend Luke, the doctor, and Demas send greetings.

15 Give my greetings to the brothers and sisters at Laodicea, and to Nympha and the church in her house.

16 After this letter has been read to you, see that it is also read in the church of the Laodiceans and that you in turn read the letter from Laodicea.

17 Tell Archippus: “See to it that you complete the ministry you have received in the Lord.”

18 I, Paul, write this greeting in my own hand. Remember my chains. Grace be with you.
