1Masters, treat your bondservants justly and fairly, knowing that you
also have a Master in heaven. 2Continue steadfastly in prayer, being
watchful in it with thanksgiving. 3At the same time, pray also for us,
that God may open to us a door for the word, to declare the
mystery of Christ, on account of which I am in prison— 4that I may
make it clear, which is how I ought to speak. 5Walk in wisdom
toward outsiders, making the best use of the time. 6Let your speech
always be gracious, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how
you ought to answer each person.
Colossians 4:1-6 (ESV)

5Put to death, therefore, whatever belongs to your earthly nature:
sexual immorality, impurity, lust, evil desires and greed, which is
idolatry. 6Because of these, the wrath of God is coming. 7You used to
walk in these ways, in the life you once lived. 8 But now you must
also rid yourselves of all such things as these: anger, rage, malice,
slander, and filthy language from your lips. 9Do not lie to each other,
since you have taken off your old self with its practices 10and have put
on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge in the image
of its Creator. 11Here there is no Gentile or Jew, circumcised
or uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave or free, but Christ is
all, and is in all.

Colossians 2:6-8

24Now I rejoice in what I am suffering for you, and I fill up in my
flesh what is still lacking in regard to Christ’s afflictions, for the sake
of his body, which is the church. 25I have become its servant by
the commission God gave me to present to you the word of God
in its fullness— 26the mystery that has been kept hidden for ages
and generations, but is now disclosed to the Lord’s people.
27To them God has chosen to make known among the Gentiles
the glorious riches of this mystery, which is Christ in you,
the hope of glory. 28He is the one we proclaim, admonishing and
teaching everyone with all wisdom, so that we may present everyone
fully mature in Christ. 29To this end I strenuously contend with
all the energy Christ so powerfully works in me.
