1 Hee exhorteth them to bee feruent in prayer, 5 to walke wisely toward them that are not yet come to the true knowledge of Christ. 10 Hee saluteth them, and wisheth them all prosperitie.

¹Masters, giue vnto your seruants that which is iust and equall, knowing that yee also haue a Master in heauen.

²Continue in prayer, and watch in the same with thankesgiuing:

³Withall, praying also for vs, that God would open vnto vs a doore of vtterance, to speake the mystery of Christ, for which I am also in bonds:

⁴That I may make it manifest, as I ought to speake.

⁵Walke in wisdome toward them that are without, redeeming the time.

⁶Let your speech bee alway with grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how yee ought to answere euery man.

⁷All my state shall Tychicus declare vnto you, who is a beloued brother, and a faithfull minister, and fellow seruant in the Lord:

⁸Whom I haue sent vnto you for the same purpose, that hee might know your estate, and comfort your hearts.

⁹With Onesimus a faithfull and beloued brother, who is one of you. They shall make knowen vnto you all things which are done here.

¹⁰Aristarchus my fellow prisoner saluteth you, and Marcus sisters sonne to Barnabas, (touching whome yee receiued commandements; if he come vnto you, receiue him:)

¹¹And Iesus, which is called Iustus, who are of the circumcision. These onely are my fellow workers vnto the kingdome of God, which haue beene a comfort vnto me.

¹²Epaphras, who is one of you, a seruant of Christ, saluteth you, alwaies labouring feruently for you in praiers, that ye may stand perfect, and complete in all the will of God.¹²
