For Calvinism is just religion in its purity… Calvinism is, therefore, that type of thought in which there comes to its rights the truly religious attitude of utter dependence on God and humble trust in His mercy alone for salvation… This is why those who have caught a glimpse of these things, love with passion what men call “Calvinism,” sometimes with an air of contempt; and why they cling to it with enthusiasm.

Colossians 4

[1]

[4]

4:1 Masters, give to your servants that which is just and equal, knowing that you also have a Master in heaven.

4:2 Continue steadfastly in prayer, watching therein with thanksgiving;

4:3 praying together for us also, that God may open to us a door for the word, to speak the mystery of Christ, for which I am also in bonds;

4:4 that I may reveal it as I ought to speak.

4:5 Walk in wisdom toward those who are outside, redeeming the time.

4:6 Let your speech always be with grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought to answer each one.

4:7 All my affairs will be made known to you by Tychicus, the beloved brother, faithful servant, and fellow bondservant in the Lord.

4:8 I am sending him to you for this very purpose, that he may know your circumstances and comfort your hearts,

4:9 together with Onesimus, the faithful and beloved brother, who is one of you. They will make known to you everything that is going on here.

4:10 Aristarchus, my fellow prisoner greets you, and Mark, the cousin of Barnabas (concerning whom you received commandments, “if he comes to you, receive him”),

4:11 and Jesus who is called Justus, who are of the circumcision. These are my only fellow workers for the Kingdom of God, men who have been a comfort to me.

4:12 Epaphras, who is one of you, a servant of Christ, salutes you, always striving for you in his prayers, that you may stand perfect and complete in all the will of God.

4:13 For I testify about him, that he has great zeal for you, and for those in Laodicea, and for those in Hierapolis.

4:14 Luke, the beloved physician, and Demas greet you.

4:15 Greet the brothers who are in Laodicea, and Nymphas, and the assembly that is in his house.

4:16 When this letter has been read among you, cause it to be read also in the assembly of the Laodiceans; and that you also read the letter from Laodicea.

4:17 Tell Archippus, “Take heed to the ministry which you have received in the Lord, that you fulfill it.”

4:18 The salutation of me, Paul, with my own hand: remember my bonds. Grace be with you. Amen.
