Paul has already said about himself "he had become all things to all people to save for Christ" (1 Corinthians 9:22). In today's reading, he writes about the use of words. He invites to season with salt. How important are our words. We are known through our conversations. In the case of an outsider, we need to say just the right word. Here is what Paul says...
"Devote yourselves to prayer, being watchful and thankful. And pray for us, too, that God may open a door for our message, so that we may proclaim the mystery of Christ, for which I am in chains. Pray that I may proclaim it clearly, as I should. Be wise in the way you act toward outsiders; make the most of every opportunity. Let your conversation be always full of grace, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how to answer everyone."
