Col 4 | Geneva | STEP | {15} But he that doeth wrong shall receive for the wrong which he hath done: and there is no respect of persons. (15) He requires of masters, that being mindful how they themselves also will render an account before that heavenly Lord and Master, who will avenge wrongful deeds without any respect of masters or servants, they show themselves just and upright with fairness to their servants.

Colossians 4

{15} But he that doeth wrong shall receive for the wrong which he hath done: and there is no respect of persons.

(15) He requires of masters, that being mindful how they themselves also will render an account before that heavenly Lord and Master, who will avenge wrongful deeds without any respect of masters or servants, they show themselves just and upright with fairness to their servants. {1} {2} Continue in prayer, and watch in the same with thanksgiving;

(1) He adds certain general exhortations, and at length ends his epistle with various familiar and godly salutations.

(3) Those who minister the word, must especially be entrusted to the prayers of the Church. (a) An open and free mouth to preach the Gospel. {4} Walk {b} in wisdom toward them that are without, redeeming the {c} time.

(4) In all parts of our life, we ought to have good consideration even of those who are outside of the Church. (b) Advisedly and cautiously. (c) Seek occasion to win them, even though you lose something of your own by it. {5} Let your speech [be] alway with {d} grace, seasoned with {e} salt, that ye may know how ye ought to answer every man.

(5) Our speech and talk must be applied to the profit of the hearers. (d) Fit for the profit of your neighbour. (e) Against this is set filthy communication, as in Eph 4:29. And Jesus, which is called Justus, who are of the circumcision. These {f} only [are my] fellowworkers unto the {g} kingdom of God, which have been a comfort unto me.

(f) Hence, Peter was not at that time in Rome. (g) In the Gospel.
