1Masters, treat your slaves with justice and fairness, because you know that you also have a master in heaven. 1Οἱ κύριοι τὸ δίκαιον καὶ τὴν ἰσότητα τοῖς δούλοις παρέχεσθε εἰδότες ὅτι καὶ ὑμεῖς ἔχετε Κύριον ἐν οὐρανῷ
2Be devoted to prayer, keeping alert in it with thanksgiving.2Τῇ προσευχῇ προσκαρτερεῖτε γρηγοροῦντες ἐν αὐτῇ ἐν εὐχαριστίᾳ
3At the same time pray for us too, that God may open a door for the message so that we may proclaim the mystery of Christ, for which I am in chains.3προσευχόμενοι ἅμα καὶ περὶ ἡμῶν ἵνα Θεὸς ἀνοίξῃ ἡμῖν θύραν τοῦ λόγου λαλῆσαι τὸ μυστήριον τοῦ Χριστοῦ δι’ καὶ δέδεμαι
4Pray that I may make it known as I should.4ἵνα φανερώσω αὐτὸ ὡς δεῖ με λαλῆσαι
5Conduct yourselves with wisdom toward outsiders, making the most of the opportunities.5Ἐν σοφίᾳ περιπατεῖτε πρὸς τοὺς ἔξω τὸν καιρὸν ἐξαγοραζόμενοι
6Let your speech always be gracious, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how you should answer everyone. 6 λόγος ὑμῶν πάντοτε ἐν χάριτι ἅλατι ἠρτυμένος εἰδέναι πῶς δεῖ ὑμᾶς ἑνὶ ἑκάστῳ ἀποκρίνεσθαι
7Tychicus, a dear brother, faithful minister, and fellow slave in the Lord, will tell you all the news about me.7Τὰ κατ’ ἐμὲ πάντα γνωρίσει ὑμῖν Τυχικὸς ἀγαπητὸς ἀδελφὸς καὶ πιστὸς διάκονος καὶ σύνδουλος ἐν Κυρίῳ
8I sent him to you for this very purpose, that you may know how we are doing and that he may encourage your hearts.8ὃν ἔπεμψα πρὸς ὑμᾶς εἰς αὐτὸ τοῦτο ἵνα γνῶτε τὰ περὶ ἡμῶν καὶ παρακαλέσῃ τὰς καρδίας ὑμῶν
9I sent him with Onesimus, the faithful and dear brother, who is one of you. They will tell you about everything here. 9σὺν Ὀνησίμῳ τῷ πιστῷ καὶ ἀγαπητῷ ἀδελφῷ ὅς ἐστιν ἐξ ὑμῶν πάντα ὑμῖν γνωρίσουσιν τὰ ὧδε
10Aristarchus, 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).10Ἀσπάζεται ὑμᾶς Ἀρίσταρχος συναιχμάλωτός μου καὶ Μᾶρκος ἀνεψιὸς Βαρνάβα περὶ οὗ ἐλάβετε ἐντολάς ἐὰν ἔλθῃ πρὸς ὑμᾶς δέξασθε αὐτόν
11And Jesus who is called Justus also sends greetings. In terms of Jewish converts, these are the only fellow workers for the kingdom of God, and they have been a comfort to me.11καὶ Ἰησοῦς λεγόμενος Ἰοῦστος οἱ ὄντες ἐκ περιτομῆς οὗτοι μόνοι συνεργοὶ εἰς τὴν βασιλείαν τοῦ Θεοῦ οἵτινες ἐγενήθησάν μοι παρηγορία
12Epaphras, who is one of you and a slave of Christ, greets you. He is always struggling in prayer on your behalf, so that you may stand mature and fully assured in all the will of God.12Ἀσπάζεται ὑμᾶς Ἐπαφρᾶς ἐξ ὑμῶν δοῦλος Χριστοῦ Ἰησοῦ πάντοτε ἀγωνιζόμενος ὑπὲρ ὑμῶν ἐν ταῖς προσευχαῖς ἵνα σταθῆτε τέλειοι καὶ πεπληροφορημένοι ἐν παντὶ θελήματι τοῦ Θεοῦ
13For I can testify that he has worked hard for you and for those in Laodicea and Hierapolis.13μαρτυρῶ γὰρ αὐτῷ ὅτι ἔχει πολὺν πόνον ὑπὲρ ὑμῶν καὶ τῶν ἐν Λαοδικείᾳ καὶ τῶν ἐν Ἱερα‿ πόλει
14Our dear friend Luke the physician and Demas greet you.14Ἀσπάζεται ὑμᾶς Λουκᾶς ἰατρὸς ἀγαπητὸς καὶ Δημᾶς
15Give my greetings to the brothers and sisters who are in Laodicea and to Nympha and the church that meets in her house.15Ἀσπάσασθε τοὺς ἐν Λαοδικείᾳ ἀδελφοὺς καὶ Νύμφαν καὶ τὴν κατ’ οἶκον αὐτῆς ἐκκλησίαν
16And after you have read this letter, have it read to the church of Laodicea. In turn, read the letter from Laodicea as well.16Καὶ ὅταν ἀναγνωσθῇ παρ’ ὑμῖν ἐπιστολή ποιήσατε ἵνα καὶ ἐν τῇ Λαοδικέων ἐκκλησίᾳ ἀναγνωσθῇ καὶ τὴν ἐκ Λαοδικείας ἵνα καὶ ὑμεῖς ἀναγνῶτε
17And tell Archippus, "See to it that you complete the ministry you received in the Lord." 17Καὶ εἴπατε Ἀρχίππῳ Βλέπε τὴν διακονίαν ἣν παρέλαβες ἐν Κυρίῳ ἵνα αὐτὴν πληροῖς
18I, Paul, write this greeting by my own hand. Remember my chains. Grace be with you. 18 ἀσπασμὸς τῇ ἐμῇ χειρὶ Παύλου Μνημονεύετέ μου τῶν δεσμῶν χάρις μεθ’ ὑμῶν ⧼Ἀμήν⧽
