3 praying at the same time also for us, that Elohim would open to us a door for the word, to speak the secret of Messiah, for which I am also in chains,
4 so that I make it clear, as I should speak.
5 Walk in wisdom toward those who are outside, redeeming the time.
6 Let your word always be with favour, seasoned with salt, so that you know how you ought to answer each one.
7 Tuchikos, who is a beloved brother, a true servant, and a fellow servant in the Master, shall give you all the news about me.
8 I am sending him to you for this purpose, to know your circumstances and to encourage your hearts,
9 with Onesimos, a true and beloved brother, who is one of you. They shall let you know all the news here.
