3praying at the same time also for us, that God may open to us a door for the word, to speak the secret of the Christ, because of which also I have been bound,
4that I may manifest it, as it behoveth me to speak;
5in wisdom walk ye toward those without, the time forestalling;
6your word always in grace -- with salt being seasoned -- to know how it behoveth you to answer each one.
7All the things concerning me make known to you shall Tychicus -- the beloved brother, and faithful ministrant, and fellow-servant in the Lord --
8whom I did send unto you for this very thing, that he might know the things concerning you, and might comfort your hearts,
9with Onesimus the faithful and beloved brother, who is of you; all things to you shall they make known that [are] here.
