1 Masters, do that which is just and right with your slaves, knowing that ye also have a Master in heaven.
2 Persevere in prayer and watch in the same with thanksgiving,
3 praying also together for us that God would open unto us the door of the word, to speak the mystery of the Christ, for which I am also in bonds,
4 that I may make it manifest, as I ought to speak.
5 Walk in wisdom towards outsiders, winning the occasion.
6 Let your word be always with grace, seasoned with salt, that ye may know how ye ought to answer each one.
