Colossians 4:6

with grace—Greek, "IN grace" as its element (Colossians 3:16; Ephesians 4:29). Contrast the case of those "of the world" who "therefore speak of the world" (I John 4:5). Even the smallest leaf of the believer should be full of the sap of the Holy Spirit (Jeremiah 17:7-8). His conversation should be cheerful without levity, serious without gloom. Compare Luke 4:22; John 7:46, as to Jesus' speech.

seasoned with salt—that is, the savor of fresh and lively spiritual wisdom and earnestness, excluding all "corrupt communication," and also tasteless insipidity (Matthew 5:13; Mark 9:50; Ephesians 4:29). Compare all the sacrifices seasoned with salt (Leviticus 2:13). Not far from Colosse, in Phrygia, there was a salt lake, which gives to the image here the more appropriateness.

how ye ought to answer every man— (I Peter 3:15).
