Colossians 4:1-6
1Masters, grant your slaves justice and fairness, 1knowing that you also have a Master in heaven.
22Devote yourselves to prayer, keeping alert in it with an attitude of thanksgiving; 3praying at the same time 3for us as well, that God will open up to us a 4door for 5the word, so that we may proclaim 6the mystery of Christ, for which I have also 7been imprisoned; 4that I may make it clear 8in the way that I ought to proclaim it.
5910Conduct yourselves with wisdom toward 11outsiders, 1213making the most of the opportunity. 614Your speech must always be 15with grace, as though seasoned with 16salt, so that you will know how you should 17respond to each person.
