1 Masters, give the things that are good and fair to your slaves. Remember that you have a Master in heaven.
2 Continue praying and keep alert. And when you pray, always thank God.
3 Also pray for us. Pray that God will give us an opportunity to tell people his message. Pray that we can preach the secret truth that God has made known about Christ. I am in prison because I preach this truth.
4 Pray that I can speak in a way that will make it clear as I should.
5 Be wise in the way you act with people who are not believers. Use your time in the best way you can.
6 When you talk, you should always be kind and wise. Then you will be able to answer everyone in the way you should.
