3 At the same time praying also for us, that God would open to us a door of utterance, to speak the mystery of 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 them that are without, redeeming the time.
6 Let your speech be always with grace, seasoned with salt, that ye may know how ye ought to answer every man.
7 All my state shall Tychicus declare to you, who is a beloved brother, and a faithful minister and fellow-servant in the Lord:
8 Whom I have sent to you for the same purpose, that he may know your state, and comfort your hearts;
9 With Onesimus, a faithful and beloved brother, who is one of you. They will make known to you all things which are done here.
