| 1 أَيُّهَا السَّادَةُ، قَدِّمُوا لِلْعَبِيدِ الْعَدْلَ وَالْمُسَاوَاةَ، عَالِمِينَ أَنَّ لَكُمْ أَنْتُمْ أَيْضًا سَيِّدًا فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ. | 1 Masters, give unto your servants that which is just and equal; knowing that ye also have a Master in heaven. |

| 2 وَاظِبُوا عَلَى الصَّلاَةِ سَاهِرِينَ فِيهَا بِالشُّكْرِ، | 2 Continue in prayer, and watch in the same with thanksgiving; |
|
| 3 مُصَلِّينَ فِي ذلِكَ لأَجْلِنَا نَحْنُ أَيْضًا، لِيَفْتَحَ الرَّبُّ لَنَا بَابًا لِلْكَلاَمِ، لِنَتَكَلَّمَ بِسِرِّ الْمَسِيحِ، الَّذِي مِنْ أَجْلِهِ أَنَا مُوثَقٌ أَيْضًا، | 3 Withal praying also for us, that God would open unto us a door of utterance, to speak the mystery of Christ, for which I am also in bonds: |
|
| 4 كَيْ أُظْهِرَهُ كَمَا يَجِبُ أَنْ أَتَكَلَّمَ. | 4 That I may make it manifest, as I ought to speak. |
|
| 5 اُسْلُكُوا بِحِكْمَةٍ مِنْ جِهَةِ الَّذِينَ هُمْ مِنْ خَارِجٍ، مُفْتَدِينَ الْوَقْتَ. | 5 Walk in wisdom toward them that are without, redeeming the time. |
|
| 6 لِيَكُنْ كَلاَمُكُمْ كُلَّ حِينٍ بِنِعْمَةٍ، مُصْلَحًا بِمِلْحٍ، لِتَعْلَمُوا كَيْفَ يَجِبُ أَنْ تُجَاوِبُوا كُلَّ وَاحِدٍ. | 6 Let your speech be alway with grace, seasoned with salt, that ye may know how ye ought to answer every man. |
