Colossians 4

domini quod iustum est et aequum servis praestate scientes quoniam et vos Dominum habetis in caelo

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

orationi instate vigilantes in ea in gratiarum actione

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

orantes simul et pro nobis ut Deus aperiat nobis ostium sermonis ad loquendum mysterium Christi propter quod etiam vinctus sum

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:

ut manifestem illud ita ut oportet me loqui

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

in sapientia ambulate ad eos qui foris sunt tempus redimentes

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

sermo vester semper in gratia sale sit conditus ut sciatis quomodo oporteat vos unicuique respondere

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

quae circa me sunt omnia vobis nota faciet Tychicus carissimus frater et fidelis minister et conservus in Domino

Whom I have sent unto you for the same purpose, that he might know your estate, and comfort your hearts;

cum Onesimo carissimo et fideli fratre qui est ex vobis omnia quae hic aguntur nota facient vobis
