QOLASIM 4

1 Masters, give your servants what is righteous and fair, knowing that you also have an Aḏon in the shamayim.

2 Continue in prayer, watching therein, with thanksgiving,

3 praying at the same time also for us, that Elohim would open to us a door for the Word, to speak the secret of Mashiaḥ, for which I am also in chains,

4 so that I make it clear, as I should speak.

5 Walk in wisdom toward those who are outside, redeeming the time.

6 Let your word always be with favour, seasoned with salt, so that you know how you ought to answer each one.

7 Tuḵikos, who is a beloved brother, a true servant, and a fellow servant in the Aḏon, shall give you all the news about me.

8 I am sending him to you for this purpose, to know your circumstances and to encourage your hearts,

9 with Onĕsimos, a true and beloved brother, who is one of you. They shall let you know all the news here.

10 Aristarḵos my fellow prisoner greets you, with Markos the relative of Barnaḇah about whom you received instructions: if he comes to you, welcome him,

11 also Yĕshua who is called Yustos. These are my only fellow workers for the reign of Elohim who are of the circumcision, who were to me a comfort.

12 Epaphras, who is one of you, a servant of Mashiaḥ, greets you, always wrestling for you in prayers, so that you stand perfect and complete in all the desire of Elohim.

13 For I bear him witness that he has a deep concern for you, and for those who are in Laodikeia and those in Hierapolis.

14 Lukas the beloved physician and Dĕmas greet you.

15 Greet the brothers in Laodikeia, and Numphas and the assembly that is in his house.

16 And when this letter is read among you, see that it is read also in the assembly of the Laodikeians, and that you likewise read the letter from Laodikeia.

17 And say to Arḵippos, “See to the service which you have received in the Aḏon, so that you complete it.”

18 This greeting is in my own hand – Sha’ul. Remember my chains. Favour be with you. Amĕn.
