Wesley's Notes for Colossians 4:5

4:3 That God would open to us a door of utterance - That is, give us utterance, that we may open our mouth boldly, #Eph 6:19|, and give us an opportunity of speaking, so that none may be able to hinder.

4:6 Let your speech be always with grace - Seasoned with the grace of God, as flesh is with salt.
