New Testament in Greek (UBS.Ed.26) |
|
|
| 2 | Persevere in prayer, with mind awake and thankful heart; | Exhortations Col.4.2-6 | Τῇ προσευχῇ προσκαρτερεῖτε, γρηγοροῦντες ἐν αὐτῇ ἐν εὐχαριστίᾳ, |
|
| 3 | and include a prayer for us, that God may give us an opening for preaching, to tell the secret of Christ; that indeed is why I am now in prison. | | προσευχόμενοι ἀμα καὶ περὶ ἡμῶν, ἵνα ὁ θεὸς ἀνοίξῃ ἡμῖν θύραν τοῦ λόγου, λαλῆσαι τὸ μυστήριον τοῦ Χριστοῦ, δῖ ὃ καὶ δέδεμαι, |
|
| 4 | Pray that I may make the secret plain, as it is my duty to do.
| | ἵνα φανερώσω αὐτὸ ὡς δεῖ με λαλῆσαι. |
|
| 5 | Behave wisely towards those outside your own number; use the present opportunity to the full. | | Ἐν σοφίᾳ περιπατεῖτε πρὸς τοὺς ἐξω, τὸν καιρὸν ἐξαγοραζόμενοι. |
|
| 6 | Let your conversation be always gracious, and never insipid; study how best to talk with each person you meet.
| | ὁ λόγος ὑμῶν πάντοτε ἐν χάριτι, ἀλατι ἠρτυμένος, εἰδέναι πῶς δεῖ ὑμᾶς ἑνὶ ἑκάστῳ ἀποκρίνεσθαι. |
