New American Standard Bible 1995
Colossians 4:2-6
21Devote yourselves to prayer, keeping alert in it with an attitude of thanksgiving; 3praying at the same time 2for us as well, that God will open up to us a 3door for 4the word, so that we may speak forth 5the mystery of Christ, for which I have also 6been imprisoned; 4that I may make it clear 7in the way I ought to speak.
589Conduct yourselves with wisdom toward 10outsiders, 1112making the most of the opportunity. 613Let your speech always be 14with grace, as though seasoned with 15salt, so that you will know how you should 16respond to each person.
