歌罗西书 4
Revised Chinese Union Version (Simplified Script) Shen Edition
4 你们作主人的,待仆人要公正,因为知道,你们也有一位主在天上。
劝导
2 你们要恒切祷告,在祷告中警醒感恩。 3 同时,也要为我们祷告,求 神给我们开传道的门,能宣讲基督的奥秘, 4 使我能按着所该说的话将这奥秘显明出来,我为此而被捆锁。 5 你们要把握时机,用智慧与外人来往。 6 你们的言谈要时常带着温和,好像用盐调味,让你们知道该怎样应对每一个人。
最后的问候
7 推基古是我亲爱的弟兄,忠心的仆役,和我一同作主的仆人;他要把我一切的事都告诉你们。 8 我特意打发他到你们那里去,好让你们知道我们的情况,又让他安慰你们的心。 9 我又打发一位亲爱忠心的弟兄阿尼西谋同去;他也是你们那里的人。他们会把这里一切的事都告诉你们。
10 与我一同坐牢的亚里达古问候你们。巴拿巴的表弟马可也问候你们。关于他,你们已经得到指示;他若到你们那里,你们要接待他。 11 称为犹士都的耶数也问候你们。奉割礼的人中,只有这三个人是为 神的国与我作同工的,也是使我心里得安慰的。 12 有一位你们那里的人,作基督耶稣[a]仆人的以巴弗问候你们。他祷告的时候常为你们竭力祈求,愿你们能站稳而成熟,充分确信 神一切的旨意。 13 他为你们、老底嘉和希拉坡里的弟兄多多劳苦,这是我可以为他作见证的。 14 亲爱的医生路加和底马问候你们。 15 请问候老底嘉的弟兄以及宁法,和她家里[b]的教会。 16 你们宣读了这书信,也要交给老底嘉的教会宣读;你们也要宣读从老底嘉转来的书信。 17 你们要对亚基布说:“务要完成你从主所领受的职分。”
18 我—保罗亲笔问候你们。要记念我在捆锁中。愿恩惠与你们同在!
Colossians 4
New International Version
4 Masters, provide your slaves with what is right and fair,(A) because you know that you also have a Master in heaven.
Further Instructions
2 Devote yourselves to prayer,(B) being watchful and thankful. 3 And pray for us, too, that God may open a door(C) for our message, so that we may proclaim the mystery(D) of Christ, for which I am in chains.(E) 4 Pray that I may proclaim it clearly, as I should. 5 Be wise(F) in the way you act toward outsiders;(G) make the most of every opportunity.(H) 6 Let your conversation be always full of grace,(I) seasoned with salt,(J) so that you may know how to answer everyone.(K)
Final Greetings
7 Tychicus(L) will tell you all the news about me. He is a dear brother, a faithful minister and fellow servant[a](M) in the Lord. 8 I am sending him to you for the express purpose that you may know about our[b] circumstances and that he may encourage your hearts.(N) 9 He is coming with Onesimus,(O) our faithful and dear brother, who is one of you.(P) They will tell you everything that is happening here.
10 My fellow prisoner Aristarchus(Q) sends you his greetings, as does Mark,(R) the cousin of Barnabas.(S) (You have received instructions about him; if he comes to you, welcome him.) 11 Jesus, who is called Justus, also sends greetings. These are the only Jews[c] among my co-workers(T) for the kingdom of God, and they have proved a comfort to me. 12 Epaphras,(U) who is one of you(V) and a servant of Christ Jesus, sends greetings. He is always wrestling in prayer for you,(W) that you may stand firm in all the will of God, mature(X) and fully assured. 13 I vouch for him that he is working hard for you and for those at Laodicea(Y) and Hierapolis. 14 Our dear friend Luke,(Z) the doctor, and Demas(AA) send greetings. 15 Give my greetings to the brothers and sisters at Laodicea,(AB) and to Nympha and the church in her house.(AC)
16 After this letter has been read to you, see that it is also read(AD) in the church of the Laodiceans and that you in turn read the letter from Laodicea.
17 Tell Archippus:(AE) “See to it that you complete the ministry you have received in the Lord.”(AF)
18 I, Paul, write this greeting in my own hand.(AG) Remember(AH) my chains.(AI) Grace be with you.(AJ)

Christian Graces; Final Greetings
4 Masters,(A) give your bondservants what is just and fair, knowing that you also have a Master in heaven.
Christian Graces
2 (B)Continue earnestly in prayer, being vigilant in it (C)with thanksgiving; 3 (D)meanwhile praying also for us, that God would (E)open to us a door for the word, to speak (F)the [a]mystery of Christ, (G)for which I am also in chains, 4 that I may make it manifest, as I ought to speak.
5 (H)Walk in (I)wisdom toward those who are outside, (J)redeeming the time. 6 Let your speech always be (K)with grace, (L)seasoned with salt, (M)that you may know how you ought to answer each one.
Final Greetings(N)
7 (O)Tychicus, a beloved brother, faithful minister, and fellow servant in the Lord, will tell you all the news about me. 8 (P)I am sending him to you for this very purpose, that [b]he may know your circumstances and comfort your hearts, 9 with (Q)Onesimus, a faithful and beloved brother, who is one of you. They will make known to you all things which are happening here.
10 (R)Aristarchus my fellow prisoner greets you, with (S)Mark the cousin of Barnabas (about whom you received instructions: if he comes to you, welcome him), 11 and Jesus who is called Justus. These are my only fellow workers for the kingdom of God who are of the circumcision; they have proved to be a comfort to me.
12 (T)Epaphras, who is one of you, a bondservant of Christ, greets you, always (U)laboring fervently for you in prayers, that you may stand (V)perfect and [c]complete in all the will of God. 13 For I bear him witness that he has a great [d]zeal for you, and those who are in Laodicea, and those in Hierapolis. 14 (W)Luke the beloved physician and (X)Demas greet you. 15 Greet the brethren who are in Laodicea, and [e]Nymphas and (Y)the church that is in [f]his house.
Closing Exhortations and Blessing
16 Now when (Z)this epistle is read among you, see that it is read also in the church of the Laodiceans, and that you likewise read the epistle from Laodicea. 17 And say to (AA)Archippus, “Take heed to (AB)the ministry which you have received in the Lord, that you may fulfill it.”
18 (AC)This salutation by my own hand—Paul. (AD)Remember my chains. Grace be with you. Amen.
