Must Do

Colossians 4

¹Masters, provide your slaves with what is right and fair, because you know that you also have a Master in heaven.

Further Instructions

²Devote yourselves to prayer, being watchful and thankful. ³And pray for us, too, that God may open a door for our message, so that we may proclaim the mystery of Christ, for which I am in chains. ⁴Pray that I may proclaim it clearly, as I should. ⁵Be wise in the way you act toward outsiders; make the most of every opportunity. ⁶Let your conversation be always full of grace, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how to answer everyone.

Final Greetings

⁷Tychicus will tell you all the news about me. He is a dear brother, a faithful minister and fellow servant in the Lord. ⁸I am sending him to you for the express purpose that you may know about our circumstances and that he may encourage your hearts. ⁹He is coming with Onesimus, our faithful and dear brother, who is one of you. They will tell you everything that is happening here.

¹⁰My fellow prisoner Aristarchus sends you his greetings, as does Mark, the cousin of Barnabas. (You have received instructions about him; if he comes to you, welcome him.) ¹¹Jesus, who is called Justus, also sends greetings. These are the only Jews among my fellow workers for the kingdom of God, and they have proved a comfort to me. ¹²Epaphras, who is one of you and a servant of Christ Jesus, sends greetings. He is always wrestling in prayer for you, that you may stand firm in all the will of God, mature and fully assured. ¹³I vouch for him that he is working hard for you and for those at Laodicea and Hierapolis. ¹⁴Our dear friend Luke, the doctor, and Demas send greetings. ¹⁵Give my greetings to the brothers at Laodicea, and to Nympha and the church in her house.

¹⁶After this letter has been read to you, see that it is also read in the church of the Laodiceans and that you in turn read the letter from Laodicea.

¹⁷Tell Archippus: "See to it that you complete the work you have received in the Lord."

¹⁸I, Paul, write this greeting in my own hand. Remember my chains. Grace be with you.

In this portion of scripture, Paul is telling us to never fail to continue to Pray. Nearly all of Paul's letters being with and end with asking us to Pray and give Thanks. Pray is a our daily food and refreshing for all Christians. Is a time for one on one, spenting time, and heart's pouring. Prayer is like taking a nice hot shower to help you refresh you day.

Prayer can be a form of worship too. So worship to Jesus Christ, give Him praise and glory because He has given you new life with Him that you are now a new person in Him.

Besides that, in verses 7-18 is the final greetings and are mostly Paul telling that He said hello to everyone and making sure is doing alright and being faith. But if you look closely or read it. Paul wants us all Christians to encourage one another and build each other up. Don't talk bad about another person back. It is really damaging to person heart and spirit went you talk bad.

Read it and understand it. The theme for Colossians is Christ as Head of the Church.
