Greek New Testament: Byzantine Text (Robinson–Pierpont 2018)
1Masters, supply your slaves with what is right and fair, since you know that you also have a Master in heaven.
1οι κυριοι το δικαιον και την ισοτητα τοισ δουλοισ παρεχεσθε ειδοτεσ οτι και υμεισ εχετε κυριον εν ουρανοισ
2Devote yourselves to prayer, being watchful and thankful,
2τη προσευχη προσκαρτερειτε γρηγορουντεσ εν αυτη εν ευχαριστια
3as you pray also for us, that God may open to us a door for the word, so that we may proclaim the mystery of Christ, for which I am in chains.
3προσευχομενοι αμα και περι ημων ινα ο θεοσ ανοιξη ημιν θυραν του λογου λαλησαι το μυστηριον του χριστου δι ο και δεδεμαι
4Pray that I may declare it clearly, as I should.
4ινα φανερωσω αυτο ωσ δει με λαλησαι
5Act wisely toward outsiders, redeeming the time.
5εν σοφια περιπατειτε προσ τουσ εξω τον καιρον εξαγοραζομενοι
6Let your speech always be gracious, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how to answer everyone.
6ο λογοσ υμων παντοτε εν χαριτι αλατι ηρτυμενοσ ειδεναι πωσ δει υμασ ενι εκαστω αποκρινεσθαι
7Tychicus will tell you all the news about me. He is a beloved brother, a faithful minister, and a fellow servant in the Lord.
7τα κατ εμε παντα γνωρισει υμιν τυχικοσ ο αγαπητοσ αδελφοσ και πιστοσ διακονοσ και συνδουλοσ εν κυριω
8I have sent him to you for this very purpose, that you may know about us, and that he may encourage your hearts.
8ον επεμψα προσ υμασ εισ αυτο τουτο ινα γνω τα περι υμων και παρακαλεση τασ καρδιασ υμων
9With him I am sending Onesimus, our faithful and beloved brother, who is one of you. They will tell you about everything here.
9συν ονησιμω τω πιστω και αγαπητω αδελφω οσ εστιν εξ υμων παντα υμιν γνωριουσιν τα ωδε
10My fellow prisoner Aristarchus sends you greetings, as does Mark the cousin of Barnabas. You have already received instructions about him: If he comes to you, welcome him.
10ασπαζεται υμασ αρισταρχοσ ο συναιχμαλωτοσ μου και μαρκοσ ο ανεψιοσ βαρναβα περι ου ελαβετε εντολασ εαν ελθη προσ υμασ δεξασθε αυτον
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 been a comfort to me.
11και ιησουσ ο λεγομενοσ ιουστοσ οι οντεσ εκ περιτομησ ουτοι μονοι συνεργοι εισ την βασιλειαν του θεου οιτινεσ εγενηθησαν μοι παρηγορια
12Epaphras, who is one of you and a servant of Christ Jesus, sends you greetings. He is always wrestling in prayer for you, so that you may stand mature and fully assured in the full will of God.
12ασπαζεται υμασ επαφρασ ο εξ υμων δουλοσ χριστου παντοτε αγωνιζομενοσ υπερ υμων εν ταισ προσευχαισ ινα στητε τελειοι και πεπληρωμενοι εν παντι θεληματι του θεου
13For I testify about him that he goes to great pains for you and for those at Laodicea and Hierapolis.
13μαρτυρω γαρ αυτω οτι εχει ζηλον πολυν υπερ υμων και των εν λαοδικεια και των εν ιεραπολει
14Luke, the beloved physician, and Demas send you greetings.
14ασπαζεται υμασ λουκασ ο ιατροσ ο αγαπητοσ και δημασ
15Greet the brothers in Laodicea, as well as Nympha and the church that meets at her house.
15ασπασασθε τουσ εν λαοδικεια αδελφουσ και νυμφαν και την κατ οικον αυτου εκκλησιαν
16After this letter has been read among you, make sure that it is also read in the church of the Laodiceans, and that you in turn read the letter from Laodicea.
16και οταν αναγνωσθη παρ υμιν η επιστολη ποιησατε ινα και εν τη λαοδικαιων εκκλησια αναγνωσθη και την εκ λαοδικειασ ινα και υμεισ αναγνωτε
17Tell Archippus: “See to it that you complete the ministry you have received in the Lord.”
17και ειπατε αρχιππω βλεπε την διακονιαν ην παρελαβεσ εν κυριω ινα αυτην πληροισ
18This greeting is in my own hand—Paul. Remember my chains. Grace be with you.
18ο ασπασμοσ τη εμη χειρι παυλου μνημονευετε μου των δεσμων η χαρισ μεθ υμων αμην
