003:020 Children be obedient to your parents in everything; for that is right for Christians. 003:021 Fathers, do not fret and harass your children, or you may make them sullen and morose. 003:022 Slaves, be obedient in everything to your earthly masters; not in acts of eye service, as aiming only to please men, but with simplicity of purpose, because you fear the Lord. 003:023 Whatever you are doing, let your hearts be in your work, as a thing done for the Lord and not for men. 003:024 For you know that it is from the Lord you will receive the inheritance as your reward. Christ is the Master whose bondservants you are. 003:025 The man who perpetrates a wrong will find the wrong repaid to him; and with God there are no merely earthly distinctions. 004:001 Masters, deal justly and equitably with your slaves, knowing that you too have a Master in Heaven. 004:002 Be earnest and unwearied in prayer, being on the alert in it and in your giving of thanks. 004:003 And pray at the same time for us also, that God may open for us a door for preaching, for us to tell the truth concerning Christ for the sake of which I am even a prisoner. 004:004 Then I shall proclaim it fully, as it is my duty to do. 004:005 Behave wisely in relation to the outside world, buying up your opportunities. 004:006 Let your language be always seasoned with the salt of grace, so that you may know how to give every man a fitting answer. 004:007 Tychicus, our much-loved brother, a trusty assistant and fellow servant with us in the Lord's work, will give you every information about me. 004:008 And for this very purpose I send him to you that you may know how we are faring; and that he may cheer your hearts. 004:009 And with him I send our dear and trusty brother Onesimus, who is one of yourselves. They will inform you of everything here. 004:010 Aristarchus my fellow prisoner sends greeting to you, and so does Barnabas's cousin Mark. You have received instructions as to him; if he comes to you, give him a welcome. 004:011 Jesus, called Justus, also sends greeting. These three are Hebrew converts. They alone among such have worked loyally with me for the Kingdom of God--they are men who have been a comfort to me. 004:012 Epaphras, who is one of yourselves, a bondservant of Jesus Christ, sends greetings to you, always wrestling on your behalf in his prayers, that you may stand firm--Christians of ripe character and of clear conviction as to everything which is God's will. 004:013 For I can bear witness to the deep interest he takes in you and in the brethren at Laodicea and in those at Hierapolis. 004:014 Luke, the dearly-loved physician, salutes you, and so does Demas.
