歌罗西书 4

1 你们做主人的，要公正、公平地对待奴仆，因为你们知道，你们也有一位主人在天上。

信末的教导

2 你们要恒切祷告，祷告中要保持警醒，怀着感谢的心。3 同时也要为我们祷告：愿神给我们开福音t的门，使我们能传讲基督的奥秘——我也是为此被捆锁的，4 愿我能照着所当说的，把这奥秘显明出来。5 你们要把握机会t，对外面的人靠智慧行事。6 你们的话语总要带着恩惠，像用盐调和过的，好使你们知道该怎样回答每一个人。

最后的问安

7 有关我的一切事，特其库斯会让你们明白。他是蒙爱的弟兄、忠心的仆人t，是在主里同做奴仆t的。8 我正是为此派他到你们那里去，好让你们知道有关我们的事t，并且让他安慰你们的心。9 与他一起去的奥尼斯莫，是一位忠心、蒙爱的弟兄，是你们那里的人。他们会把这里的一切情况都让你们明白。

10 与我一起坐牢的亚里达古问候你们。巴拿巴的表弟马可也问候你们。关于马可，你们已经领受了指示：如果他到你们那里去，你们要接受他。11 称为犹斯托的耶数也问候你们。在割礼派的人t中，只有这几个人是为了神的国与我同工的；他们也成了我的安慰。12 以帕弗拉问候你们；他来自你们那里，是基督耶稣的奴仆；他在祷告中，总是为你们竭力祈求t：愿你们成熟、站立得住，在神的一切旨意中确信不疑t；13 其实我可以为他见证：他为了你们和那些在劳迪西亚和希拉波利斯的人，多受劳苦t。14 蒙爱的医生路加和迪马斯问候你们。15 请问候在劳迪西亚的弟兄们，还有宁法以及在她t家里的教会。16 这封书信在你们那里宣读了以后，也一定要在劳迪西亚的教会中宣读；你们也要宣读从劳迪西亚转来的书信。17 请你们告诉阿其波斯：“在主里所领受的服事工作，要留心把它完成。”

18 我保罗亲笔问候：请你们记住我所受的捆锁。愿恩典与你们同在！t

Colossians 4

Exhortation to Households

1 Masters, treat your slaves with justice and fairness, because you know that you also have a master in heaven.

Exhortation to Pray for the Success of Paul’s Mission

2 Be devoted to prayer, keeping alert in it with thanksgiving.3 At the same time prayt for us too, thatt God may open a door for the messaget so that we may proclaimt the mystery of Christ, for which I am in chains.t4 Pray that I may make it known as I should.t5 Conduct yourselvest with wisdom toward outsiders, making the most of the opportunities.

6 Let your speech always be gracious, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how you should answer everyone.

Personal Greetings and Instructions

7 Tychicus, a dear brother, faithful minister, and fellow slavet in the Lord, will tell you all the news about me.t8 I sent him to you for this very purpose, that you may know how we are doingt and that he may encourage your hearts.

9 I sent himt with Onesimus, the faithful and dear brother, who is one of you.t They will tellt you about everything here.
10 Aristarchus, my fellow prisoner, sends you greetings, as does Mark, the cousin of Barnabas (about whom you received instructions; if he comes to you, welcome him).11 And Jesus who is called Justus also sends greetings. In terms of Jewish converts,t these are the only fellow workers for the kingdom of God, and they have been a comfort to me.12 Epaphras, who is one of you and a slavet of Christ,s greets you. He is always struggling in prayer on your behalf, so that you may stand mature and fully assuredt in all the will of God.13 For I can testify that he has worked hardt for you and for those in Laodicea and Hierapolis.14 Our dear friend Luke the physician and Demas greet you.15 Give my greetings to the brothers and sisterst who are in Laodicea and to Nympha and the church that meets in hers house.t16 And aftert you have read this letter, have it readt to the church of Laodicea. In turn, read the letter from Laodiceas as well.

17 And tell Archippus, “See to it that you complete the ministry you received in the Lord.”

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