Pray and Speak Kindly

Name Date

Read the Story

Paul told the church to keep praying and to give thanks. He asked them to pray for him, too. He wanted God to open a door to share the good news.

Paul said to be wise with people who do not know Jesus. Speak kind words. Paul sent his friends Tychicus and Onesimus with news. Other friends sent greetings, like Mark and Luke. Paul signed the letter himself.

Memory Verse

“Walk in wisdom toward those who are outside, redeeming the time.”
