Let your speech be always with grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought to answer every man.
All Commentaries on Colossians 4:6 Go To Colossians 4
John Chrysostom
AD 407
Let your speech be always with grace, seasoned with salt; that is, that this graciousness may not lapse into indifferentism. For it is possible to be simply agreeable, it is possible also to be so with due seemliness. That ye may know how ye ought to answer each one. So that one ought not to discourse alike to all, Greeks, I mean, and Brethren. By no means, for this were the very extreme of senselessness.
