Greek New Testament: Byzantine Text (Robinson–Pierpont 2018)
1Masters, give to your servants that which is just and equal, knowing 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
2Continue steadfastly in prayer, watching in it with thanksgiving,
2τη προσευχη προσκαρτερειτε γρηγορουντεσ εν αυτη εν ευχαριστια
3praying together for us also, that God may open to us a door for the word, to speak the mystery of Christ, for which I am also in bonds,
3προσευχομενοι αμα και περι ημων ινα ο θεοσ ανοιξη ημιν θυραν του λογου λαλησαι το μυστηριον του χριστου δι ο και δεδεμαι
4that I may reveal it as I ought to speak.
4ινα φανερωσω αυτο ωσ δει με λαλησαι
5Walk in wisdom toward those who are outside, redeeming the time.
5εν σοφια περιπατειτε προσ τουσ εξω τον καιρον εξαγοραζομενοι
6Let your speech always be with grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought to answer each one.
6ο λογοσ υμων παντοτε εν χαριτι αλατι ηρτυμενοσ ειδεναι πωσ δει υμασ ενι εκαστω αποκρινεσθαι
7All my affairs will be made known to you by Tychicus, the beloved brother, faithful servant, and fellow bondservant in the Lord.
7τα κατ εμε παντα γνωρισει υμιν τυχικοσ ο αγαπητοσ αδελφοσ και πιστοσ διακονοσ και συνδουλοσ εν κυριω
8I am sending him to you for this very purpose, that he may know your circumstances and comfort your hearts,
8ον επεμψα προσ υμασ εισ αυτο τουτο ινα γνω τα περι υμων και παρακαλεση τασ καρδιασ υμων
9together with Onesimus, the faithful and beloved brother, who is one of you. They will make known to you everything that is going on here.
9συν ονησιμω τω πιστω και αγαπητω αδελφω οσ εστιν εξ υμων παντα υμιν γνωριουσιν τα ωδε
10Aristarchus, my fellow prisoner, greets you, and Mark the cousin of Barnabas (concerning whom you received instructions, “if he comes to you, receive him”),
10ασπαζεται υμασ αρισταρχοσ ο συναιχμαλωτοσ μου και μαρκοσ ο ανεψιοσ βαρναβα περι ου ελαβετε εντολασ εαν ελθη προσ υμασ δεξασθε αυτον
11and Jesus who is called Justus. These are my only fellow workers for God’s Kingdom who are of the circumcision, men who 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, a servant of Christ, salutes you, always striving for you in his prayers, that you may stand perfect and complete in all the 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 has great zeal for you, and for those in Laodicea, and for those in Hierapolis.
13μαρτυρω γαρ αυτω οτι εχει ζηλον πολυν υπερ υμων και των εν λαοδικεια και των εν ιεραπολει
14Luke the beloved physician and Demas greet you.
14ασπαζεται υμασ λουκασ ο ιατροσ ο αγαπητοσ και δημασ
15Greet the brothers who are in Laodicea, with Nymphas and the assembly that is in his house.
15ασπασασθε τουσ εν λαοδικεια αδελφουσ και νυμφαν και την κατ οικον αυτου εκκλησιαν
16When this letter has been read among you, cause it to be read also in the assembly of the Laodiceans, and that you also 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, “Take heed to the ministry which you have received in the Lord, that you fulfill it.”
17και ειπατε αρχιππω βλεπε την διακονιαν ην παρελαβεσ εν κυριω ινα αυτην πληροισ
18I, Paul, write this greeting with my own hand. Remember my chains. Grace be with you. Amen.
18ο ασπασμοσ τη εμη χειρι παυλου μνημονευετε μου των δεσμων η χαρισ μεθ υμων αμην
