Colossians 4:5-9

5 1 2Conduct yourselves with wisdom toward 3outsiders, 4 5making the most of the opportunity. 6 6Let your speech always be 7with grace, as though seasoned with 8salt, so that you will know how you should 9respond to each person.

7 10As to all my affairs, 11Tychicus, our 12beloved brother and faithful servant and fellow bond-servant in the Lord, will bring you information. 8 13For I have sent him to you for this very purpose, that you may know about our circumstances and that he may 14encourage your hearts; 9 15and with him 16Onesimus, our faithful and 17beloved brother, 18who is one of your number. They will inform you about the whole situation here.
