4:3 也要为我们祷告,求神给我们开传道的门,能以讲基督的奥秘,(我为此被捆锁)。
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:

That I may make it manifest, as I ought to speak.
 
4:5 你们要爱惜光阴,用智慧与外人交往。
Walk in wisdom toward them that are without, redeeming the time.
 
4:6 你们的言语要常常带着和气,好像用盐调和,就可知道该怎样回答各人。
