1 Masters, give your slaves what is right and fair. Do it because you know that you also have a Master in heaven.
2 Spend a lot of time in prayer. Always be watchful and thankful.
3 Pray for us too. Pray that God will open a door for our message. Then we can preach the mystery of Christ. Because I preached it, I am being held by chains.
4 Pray that I will preach it clearly, as I should.
5 Be wise in the way you act toward outsiders. Make the most of every opportunity.
6 Let the words you speak always be full of grace. Season them with salt. Then you will know how to answer everyone.
