Colossians 4:4

King James Version (KJV)
Adam Clarke
Bible Commentary

That I may make it manifest - It was a mystery, and he wished to make it manifest - to lay it open, and make all men see it.

Albert Barnes
Notes on the Whole Bible

That I may make it manifest … - Notes, Ephesians 6:20.

Matthew Henry
Concise Bible Commentary
No duties can be done aright, unless we persevere in fervent prayer, and watch therein with thanksgiving. The people are to pray particularly for their ministers. Believers are exhorted to right conduct towards unbelievers. Be careful in all converse with them, to do them good, and recommend religion by all fit means. Diligence in redeeming time, commends religion to the good opinion of others. Even what is only carelessness may cause a lasting prejudice against the truth. Let all discourse be discreet and seasonable, as becomes Christians. Though it be not always of grace, it must always be with grace. Though our discourse be of that which is common, yet it must be in a Christian manner. Grace is the salt which seasons our discourse, and keeps it from corrupting. It is not enough to answer what is asked, unless we answer aright also.
