3And making prayer for us, that God may give us an open door for the preaching of the word, the secret of Christ, for which I am now in chains;
4So that I may make it clear, as it is right for me to do.
5Be wise in your behaviour to those who are outside, making good use of the time.
6Let your talk be with grace, mixed with salt, so that you may be able to give an answer to everyone.
7Tychicus will give you news of all my business: he is a dear brother and true servant and helper in the word;
8And I have sent him to you for this very purpose, so that you may have news of how we are, and so that he may give your hearts comfort;
9And with him I have sent Onesimus, the true and well-loved brother, who is one of you. They will give you word of everything which is taking place here.
