1 Masters, be fair and just in the way you treat your slaves. Remember that you too have a Master in heaven.
2 Be persistent in prayer, and keep alert as you pray, giving thanks to God.
3 At the same time pray also for us, so that God will give us a good opportunity to preach his message about the secret of Christ. For that is why I am now in prison.
4 Pray, then, that I may speak, as I should, in such a way as to make it clear.
5 Be wise in the way you act toward those who are not believers, making good use of every opportunity you have.
6 Your speech should always be pleasant and interesting, and you should know how to give the right answer to everyone.
