Read Colossians 4 in context

Scripture Focus

5Walk in wisdom toward them that are without, redeeming the time.
6Let your speech be alway with grace, seasoned with salt, that ye may know how ye ought to answer every man.
Colossians 4:5-6

Biblical Context

Walk in wisdom toward those outside your circle and redeem the time. Let your speech always be gracious, seasoned with salt, so you know how to answer every person.

Neville's Inner Vision

Beloved, the verse does not command outward acts alone; it reveals the inner posture by which reality is shaped. I walk in wisdom toward them that are without by cultivating a consciousness that regards every unseen listener within as the I AM meeting itself in disguise. When I redeem the time, I reinterpret each moment as a chance to align with the divine self, refusing to waste a thought in fear, blame, or lack. Let your speech be always with grace, seasoned with salt—not a polite surface, but a truth seasoned with love, that preserves and nourishes, even when correction is needed. In this inner economy, I do not seek to persuade others by force but to awaken them to their true nature, and I am always ready to answer in wisdom because I have revised my inner state to know my good. The outer world becomes a mirror of my inner claim: I AM the source of all measured grace and discernment.

Practice This Now

Imaginative Act: Before your next exchange, close your eyes and assume the I AM is speaking through you. Feel the grace-seasoned voice guiding your words, then revise your inner state to embody discernment before you speak.
