4장

1 상전들아 의와 공평을 종들에게 베풀지니 너희에게도 하늘에 상전이 계심을 알지어다
1 Masters, give unto your servants that which is just and equal; knowing that ye also have a Master in heaven.
2 기도를 항상 힘쓰고 기도에 감사함으로 깨어 있으라
2 Continue in prayer, and watch in the same with thanksgiving;
3 또한 우리를 위하여 기도하되 하나님이 전도할 문을 우리에게 열어주사 그리스도의 비밀을 말하게 하시기를 구하라 내가 이것을 인하여 매임을 당하였노라
3 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:
4 그리하면 내가 마땅히 할 말로써 이 비밀을 나타내리라
4 That I may make it manifest, as I ought to speak.
5 외인을 향하여서는 지혜로 행하여 세월을 아끼라 !
5 Walk in wisdom toward them that are without, redeeming the time.
6 너희 말을 항상 은혜 가운데서 소금으로 고루게 함같이 하라 그리하면 각 사람에게 마땅히 대답할 것을 알리라
6 Let your speech be alway with grace, seasoned with salt, that ye may know how ye ought to answer every man.
7 두기고가 내 사정을 다 너희에게 알게 하리니 그는 사랑을 받는 형제요 신실한 일군이요 주 안에서 함께 된 종이라
7 All my state shall Tychicus declare unto you, who is a beloved brother, and a faithful minister and fellowservant in the Lord:
8 내가 저를 특별히 너희에게 보낸 것은 너희로 우리 사정을 알게 하고 너희 마음을 위로하게 하려 함이라
8 Whom I have sent unto you for the same purpose, that he might know your estate, and comfort your hearts;
9 신실하고 사랑을 받는 형제 오네시모를 함께 보내노니 그는 너희에게서 온 사람이라 저희가 여기 일을 다 너희에게 알게 하리라
9 With Onesimus, a faithful and beloved brother, who is one of you. They shall make known unto you all things which are done here.
10
10 Aristarchus my fellowprisoner saluteth you, and Marcus, sister's son to Barnabas, (touching whom ye received commandments: if he come unto you, receive him;)
11
11 And Jesus, which is called Justus, who are of the circumcision. These only are my fellowworkers unto the kingdom of God, which have been a comfort unto me.
12
12 Epaphras, who is one of you, a servant of Christ, saluteth you, always labouring fervently for you in prayers, that ye may stand perfect and complete in all the will of God.
13
13 For I bear him record, that he hath a great zeal for you, and them that are in Laodicea and them in Hierapolis.
14
14 Luke, the beloved physician, and Demas, greet you.
15
15 Salute the brethren which are in Laodicea, and Nymphas, and the church which is in his house.
16
16 And when this epistle is read among you, cause that it be read also in the church of the Laodiceans; and that ye likewise read the epistle from Laodicea.
17
17 And say to Archippus, Take heed to the ministry which thou hast received in the Lord, that thou fulfil it.
18
18 The salutation by the hand of me Paul. Remember my bonds. Grace be with you. Amen.
