4:2  Devote yourselves to prayer; stay alert in it with thanksgiving.

4:4  so that I may reveal it as I am required to speak.
4:5  Act wisely toward outsiders, making the most of the time.
4:6  Your speech should always be gracious, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how you should answer each person.
4:7  Tychicus, our dearly loved brother, faithful servant, and fellow slave in the Lord, will tell you all the news about me.

4:10  Aristarchus, my fellow prisoner, greets you, as does Mark, Barnabas's cousin (concerning whom you have received instructions: if he comes to you, welcome him),
