Colossians 4

Masters, give unto your servants that which is just and equal; knowing that ye also have a Master in heaven.

Gospodari, pružajte svojim robovima što je pravo i pravično, znajući da i vi imate Gospodina na nebu!

Continue in prayer, and watch in the same with thanksgiving;

U molitvi ustrajte, bdijte u njoj u zahvaljivanju!

Withal praying also for us, that God would open unto us a door of utterance, to speak the mystery of Christ, for which I am also in bonds:

Molite ujedno i za nas: da nam Bog otvori vrata riječi te propovijedamo otajstvo Kristovo, za koje sam i okovan;

That I may make it manifest, as I ought to speak.

da ga očitujem propovijedajući kako treba.

Walk in wisdom toward them that are without, redeeming the time.

Mudro se ponašajte prema onima vani: iskupljujte vrijeme!

Let your speech be alway with grace, seasoned with salt, that ye may know how ye ought to answer every man.

Riječ neka vam je uvijek ljubazna, solju začinjena: znajte svakomu odgovoriti kako treba.
