3 praying together for us also, that God may open to us a door for the word, to speak the mystery of Messiah, for which I am also in bonds;
4 that I may reveal it as I ought to speak.
5 Walk in wisdom towards those who are outside, redeeming the time.
6 Let your speech always be with grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought to answer each one.
7 All my affairs will be made known to you by Tychicus, the beloved brother, faithful servant, and fellow bondservant in the Lord.
8 I am sending him to you for this very purpose, that he may know your circumstances and comfort your hearts,
9 together with Onesimus, the faithful and beloved brother, who is one of you. They will make known to you everything that is going on here.
