Hello you and here are the other following books done so far (They are not really finished but for the most part they have been condensed down) where you can see the original language and get more of a understanding of the words being used when going verse by verse.
Thank you for everyone who has taken time to go over what is being offered unto you; hopefully God, and the Lord Jesus Christ by the spirit will teach you something you did not understand before or have yet to come to a knowledge to.
Praise be to God and the wonderful things that he can do for a person in their life, and may he receive thanksgiving for all that he has done, and the Lord Jesus Christ has done for the whole world!
Colossians Chapter 4: 1-5 (NKJV)
Paul, and timothy are fixing to sum up the letter that is given to the Colossians, in Colosse who are saints, faithful in Christ, and elect - chosen people.
1 Masters, give your bondservants what is just and fair, knowing that you also have a Master in heaven.
2 Continue earnestly in prayer, being vigilant in it with thanksgiving;
3 meanwhile praying also for us, that God would open to us a door for the word, to speak the mystery of Christ, for which I am also in chains,
4 that I may make it manifest, as I ought to speak.
5 Walk in wisdom toward those who are outside, redeeming the time.
6 Let your speech always be with grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought to answer each one.
