شكر وصلاة
3 إِنَّنَا دَائِماً نَرْفَعُ الشُّكْرَ لِلهِ، أَبِي رَبِّنَا يَسُوعَ الْمَسِيحِ فِيمَا نُصَلِّي لأَجْلِكُمْ. 4 إِذْ بَلَغَنَا خَبَرُ إِيمَانِكُمْ بِالْمَسِيحِ يَسُوعَ وَالْمَحَبَّةِ الَّتِي لَكُمْ نَحْوَ جَمِيعِ الْقِدِّيسِينَ، 5 بِسَبَبِ الرَّجَاءِ الْمَحْفُوظِ لَكُمْ فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ، الرَّجَاءِ الَّذِي سَمِعْتُمْ بِهِ سَابِقاً فِي كَلِمَةِ الْحَقِّ الَّتِي فِي الإِنْجِيلِ 6 وَالَّتِي وَصَلَتْ إِلَيْكُمْ كَمَا تَنْتَشِرُ الآنَ فِي الْعَالَمِ أَجْمَعَ، مُنْتِجَةً الثَّمَرَ وَنَامِيَةً، مِثْلَمَا يَحْدُثُ بَيْنَكُمْ أَنْتُمْ مُنْذُ أَنْ سَمِعْتُمْ بِنِعْمَةِ اللهِ وَاخْتَبَرْتُمُوهَا بِالْحَقِّ، 7 عَلَى حَسَبِ مَا تَعَلَّمْتُمْ مِنْ أَبَفْرَاسَ شَرِيكِنَا الْعَبْدِ الْحَبِيبِ، وَالْخَادِمِ الأَمِينِ لِلْمَسِيحِ عِنْدَكُمْ 8 وَهُوَ نَفْسُهُ أَخْبَرَنَا بِمَا لَكُمْ مِنَ الْمَحَبَّةِ فِي الرُّوحِ.
9 لِذَلِكَ نَحْنُ أَيْضاً، مِنَ الْيَوْمِ الَّذِي فِيهِ سَمِعْنَا بِأَخْبَارِكُمْ، مَازِلْنَا نُصَلِّي وَنَتَضَرَّعُ لأَجْلِكُمْ، لأَنْ تَمْتَلِئُوا مِنْ تَمَامِ مَعْرِفَةِ مَشِيئَةِ اللهِ فِي كُلِّ حِكْمَةٍ وَإِدْرَاكٍ رُوحِيٍّ، 10 لِكَيْ تَسْلُكُوا سُلُوكاً لائِقاً بِالرَّبِّ وَمُرْضِياً فِي كُلِّ شَيْءٍ، مُنْتِجِينَ الثَّمَرَ فِي كُلِّ عَمَلٍ صَالِحٍ وَنَامِينَ فِي مَعْرِفَةِ اللهِ إِلَى التَّمَامِ، 11 مُتَشَدِّدِينَ بِكُلِّ قُوَّةٍ مُوَافِقَةٍ لِقُدْرَةِ مَجْدِهِ، لِتَتَمَكَّنُوا تَمَاماً مِنَ الاحْتِمَالِ وَطُولِ الْبَالِ، 12 رَافِعِينَ الشُّكْرَ بِفَرَحٍ لِلآبِ الَّذِي جَعَلَكُمْ أَهْلاً لِلاشْتِرَاكِ فِي مِيرَاثِ الْقِدِّيسِينَ فِي النُّورِ، 13 هُوَ الَّذِي أَنْقَذَنَا مِنْ سُلْطَةِ الظَّلامِ وَنَقَلَنَا إِلَى مَلَكُوتِ ابْنِ مَحَبَّتِهِ 14 الَّذِي فِيهِ لَنَا الْفِدَاءُ، أَيْ غُفْرَانُ الْخَطَايَا.

15 هُوَ صُورَةُ اللهِ الَّذِي لَا يُرَى، وَالْبِكْرُ عَلَى كُلِّ مَا قَدْ خُلِقَ، 16 إِذْ بِهِ خُلِقَتْ جَمِيعُ الأَشْيَاءِ: مَا فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَمَا عَلَى الأَرْضِ، مَا يُرَى وَمَا لَا يُرَى، أَعُرُوشاً كَانَتْ أَمْ سِيَادَاتٍ أَمْ رِئَاسَاتٍ أَمْ سُلْطَاتٍ. كُلُّ مَا فِي الْكَوْنِ قَدْ خُلِقَ بِهِ وَلأَجْلِهِ. 17 هُوَ كَائِنٌ قَبْلَ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ، وَبِهِ يَدُومُ كُلُّ شَيْءٍ. 18 وَهُوَ رَأْسُ الْجَسَدِ، أَيِ الْكَنِيسَةِ؛ هُوَ الْبَدَاءَةُ وَبِكْرُ الْقَائِمِينَ مِنْ بَيْنِ الأَمْوَاتِ، لِيَكُونَ لَهُ الْمَقَامُ الأَوَّلُ فِي كُلِّ شَيْءٍ. 19 فَفِيهِ سُرَّ اللهُ أَنْ يَحِلَّ بِكُلِّ مِلْئِهِ، 20 وَأَنْ يُصَالِحَ بِهِ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ مَعَ نَفْسِهِ، إِذْ أَحَلَّ السَّلامَ بِدَمِهِ عَلَى الصَّلِيبِ، فَبِهِ يُصَالَحُ كُلُّ شَيْءٍ، سَوَاءٌ مَا كَانَ عَلَى الأَرْضِ أَوْ مَا فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ.
21 وَأَنْتُمْ، يَا مَنْ كُنْتُمْ فِي الْمَاضِي أَجَانِبَ وَأَعْدَاءَ فِي الْفِكْرِ، بِأَعْمَالِكُمُ الشِّرِّيرَةِ، 22 قَدْ صَالَحَكُمُ الآنَ فِي جَسَدِ بَشَرِيَّةِ (ابْنِهِ) بِالْمَوْتِ. وَذَلِكَ لِكَيْ يُحْضِرَكُمْ فَتَمْثُلُوا أَمَامَهُ وَأَنْتُمْ قِدِّيسُونَ بِلا ذَنْبٍ وَلا لَوْمٍ. 23 عَلَى أَنْ تَثْبُتُوا فِعْلاً فِي الإِيمَانِ، مُؤَسَّسِينَ وَرَاسِخِينَ وَغَيْرَ مُتَحَوِّلِينَ عَنْ رَجَاءِ الإِنْجِيلِ الَّذِي سَمِعْتُمُوهُ، الَّذِي بُشِّرَ بِهِ لِلْخَلِيقَةِ كُلِّهَا تَحْتَ السَّمَاءِ، وَلَهُ صِرْتُ أَنَا بُولُسَ خَادِماً.

24 وَالآنَ أَنَا أَفْرَحُ فِي الآلامِ الَّتِي أُقَاسِيهَا لأَجْلِكُمْ، وَأُتَمِّمُ فِي جَسَدِي مَا نَقَصَ مِنْ ضِيقَاتِ الْمَسِيحِ لأَجْلِ جَسَدِهِ الَّذِي هُوَ الْكَنِيسَةُ، 25 وَلَهَا قَدْ صِرْتُ أَنَا خَادِماً بِمُوجِبِ تَدْبِيرِ اللهِ الْمَوْهُوبِ لِي مِنْ أَجْلِكُمْ، وَهُوَ أَنْ أُتَمِّمَ كَلِمَةَ اللهِ، بِإِعْلانِ 26 السِّرِّ الَّذِي كَانَ مَكْتُوماً طَوَالَ الْعُصُورِ وَالأَجْيَالِ، وَلكِنْ كُشِفَ الآنَ لِقِدِّيسِيهِ، 27 الَّذِينَ أَرَادَ اللهُ أَنْ يُعْلِنَ لَهُمْ كَمْ هُوَ غَنِيٌّ مَجْدُ هَذَا السِّرِّ بَيْنَ الأُمَمِ: أَنَّ الْمَسِيحَ فِيكُمْ، وَهُوَ رَجَاءُ الْمَجْدِ؛ 28 هَذَا السِّرُّ نُعْلِنُهُ نَحْنُ، وَاعِظِينَ كُلَّ إِنْسَانٍ، وَمُعَلِّمِينَ كُلَّ إِنْسَانٍ، فِي كُلِّ حِكْمَةٍ، لِكَيْ نُحْضِرَ كُلَّ إِنْسَانٍ كَامِلاً فِي الْمَسِيحِ. 29 وَلأَجْلِ هَذَا أَتْعَبُ أَنَا أَيْضاً وَأُجَاهِدُ، بِفَضْلِ قُدْرَتِهِ الْعَامِلَةِ فِيَّ بِقُوَّةٍ.

PREAMBOLO
Indirizzo
1 Paolo, apostolo di Cristo Gesù per volontà di Dio, e il fratello Timòteo, 2 ai santi e fedeli fratelli in Cristo dimoranti in Colossi grazia a voi e pace da Dio, Padre nostro!
Ringraziamento e preghiera
3 Noi rendiamo continuamente grazie a Dio, Padre del Signore nostro Gesù Cristo, nelle nostre preghiere per voi, 4 per le notizie ricevute della vostra fede in Cristo Gesù, e della carità che avete verso tutti i santi, 5 in vista della speranza che vi attende nei cieli. Di questa speranza voi avete gia udito l'annunzio dalla parola di verità del vangelo 6 che è giunto a voi, come pure in tutto il mondo fruttifica e si sviluppa; così anche fra voi dal giorno in cui avete ascoltato e conosciuto la grazia di Dio nella verità, 7 che avete appresa da Epafra, nostro caro compagno nel ministero; egli ci supplisce come un fedele ministro di Cristo, 8 e ci ha pure manifestato il vostro amore nello Spirito.
9 Perciò anche noi, da quando abbiamo saputo questo, non cessiamo di pregare per voi, e di chiedere che abbiate una conoscenza piena della sua volontà con ogni sapienza e intelligenza spirituale, 10 perché possiate comportarvi in maniera degna del Signore, per piacergli in tutto, portando frutto in ogni opera buona e crescendo nella conoscenza di Dio; 11 rafforzandovi con ogni energia secondo la potenza della sua gloria, per poter essere forti e pazienti in tutto; 12 ringraziando con gioia il Padre che ci ha messi in grado di partecipare alla sorte dei santi nella luce.
13 E' lui infatti che ci ha liberati dal potere delle tenebre e ci ha trasferiti nel regno del suo Figlio diletto, 14 per opera del quale abbiamo la redenzione, la remissione dei peccati.
I. PARTE DOGMATICA
Primato del Cristo
15 Egli è immagine del Dio invisibile, generato prima di ogni creatura; 16 poiché per mezzo di lui sono state create tutte le cose, quelle nei cieli e quelle sulla terra, quelle visibili e quelle invisibili: Troni, Dominazioni, Principati e Potestà. Tutte le cose sono state create per mezzo di lui e in vista di lui. 17 Egli è prima di tutte le cose e tutte sussistono in lui. 18 Egli è anche il capo del corpo, cioè della Chiesa; il principio, il primogenito di coloro che risuscitano dai morti, per ottenere il primato su tutte le cose. 19 Perché piacque a Dio di fare abitare in lui ogni pienezza 20 e per mezzo di lui riconciliare a sé tutte le cose, rappacificando con il sangue della sua croce, cioè per mezzo di lui, le cose che stanno sulla terra e quelle nei cieli.
Partecipazione dei Colossesi alla salvezza
21 E anche voi, che un tempo eravate stranieri e nemici con la mente intenta alle opere cattive che facevate, 22 ora egli vi ha riconciliati per mezzo della morte del suo corpo di carne, per presentarvi santi, immacolati e irreprensibili al suo cospetto: 23 purché restiate fondati e fermi nella fede e non vi lasciate allontanare dalla speranza promessa nel vangelo che avete ascoltato, il quale è stato annunziato ad ogni creatura sotto il cielo e di cui io, Paolo, sono diventato ministro.
Fatiche di Paolo al servizio dei pagani
24 Perciò sono lieto delle sofferenze che sopporto per voi e completo nella mia carne quello che manca ai patimenti di Cristo, a favore del suo corpo che è la Chiesa. 25 Di essa sono diventato ministro, secondo la missione affidatami da Dio presso di voi di realizzare la sua parola, 26 cioè il mistero nascosto da secoli e da generazioni, ma ora manifestato ai suoi santi, 27 ai quali Dio volle far conoscere la gloriosa ricchezza di questo mistero in mezzo ai pagani, cioè Cristo in voi, speranza della gloria. 28 E' lui infatti che noi annunziamo, ammonendo e istruendo ogni uomo con ogni sapienza, per rendere ciascuno perfetto in Cristo. 29 Per questo mi affatico e lotto, con la forza che viene da lui e che agisce in me con potenza.
Colossians 1
King James Version
1 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and Timotheus our brother,
2 To the saints and faithful brethren in Christ which are at Colosse: Grace be unto you, and peace, from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
3 We give thanks to God and the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, praying always for you,
4 Since we heard of your faith in Christ Jesus, and of the love which ye have to all the saints,
5 For the hope which is laid up for you in heaven, whereof ye heard before in the word of the truth of the gospel;
6 Which is come unto you, as it is in all the world; and bringeth forth fruit, as it doth also in you, since the day ye heard of it, and knew the grace of God in truth:
7 As ye also learned of Epaphras our dear fellowservant, who is for you a faithful minister of Christ;
8 Who also declared unto us your love in the Spirit.
9 For this cause we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to desire that ye might be filled with the knowledge of his will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding;
10 That ye might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God;
11 Strengthened with all might, according to his glorious power, unto all patience and longsuffering with joyfulness;
12 Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light:
13 Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son:
14 In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins:
15 Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature:
16 For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:
17 And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.
18 And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence.
19 For it pleased the Father that in him should all fulness dwell;
20 And, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto himself; by him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven.
21 And you, that were sometime alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now hath he reconciled
22 In the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and unblameable and unreproveable in his sight:
23 If ye continue in the faith grounded and settled, and be not moved away from the hope of the gospel, which ye have heard, and which was preached to every creature which is under heaven; whereof I Paul am made a minister;
24 Who now rejoice in my sufferings for you, and fill up that which is behind of the afflictions of Christ in my flesh for his body's sake, which is the church:
25 Whereof I am made a minister, according to the dispensation of God which is given to me for you, to fulfil the word of God;
26 Even the mystery which hath been hid from ages and from generations, but now is made manifest to his saints:
27 To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:
28 Whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom; that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus:
29 Whereunto I also labour, striving according to his working, which worketh in me mightily.
Colossians 1
New King James Version
Greeting
1 Paul, (A)an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and Timothy our brother,
2 To the saints (B)and faithful brethren in Christ who are in Colosse:
(C)Grace to you and peace from God our Father [a]and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Their Faith in Christ
3 (D)We give thanks to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, praying always for you, 4 (E)since we heard of your faith in Christ Jesus and of (F)your love for all the saints; 5 because of the hope (G)which is laid up for you in heaven, of which you heard before in the word of the truth of the gospel, 6 which has come to you, (H)as it has also in all the world, and (I)is bringing forth [b]fruit, as it is also among you since the day you heard and knew (J)the grace of God in truth; 7 as you also learned from (K)Epaphras, our dear fellow servant, who is (L)a faithful minister of Christ on your behalf, 8 who also declared to us your (M)love in the Spirit.
Preeminence of Christ
9 (N)For this reason we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to ask (O)that you may be filled with (P)the knowledge of His will (Q)in all wisdom and spiritual understanding; 10 (R)that you may walk worthy of the Lord, (S)fully pleasing Him, (T)being fruitful in every good work and increasing in the (U)knowledge of God; 11 (V)strengthened with all might, according to His glorious power, (W)for all patience and longsuffering (X)with joy; 12 (Y)giving thanks to the Father who has qualified us to be partakers of (Z)the inheritance of the saints in the light. 13 He has delivered us from (AA)the power of darkness (AB)and [c]conveyed us into the kingdom of the Son of His love, 14 (AC)in whom we have redemption [d]through His blood, the forgiveness of sins.
15 He is (AD)the image of the invisible God, (AE)the firstborn over all creation. 16 For (AF)by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or (AG)dominions or [e]principalities or [f]powers. All things were created (AH)through Him and for Him. 17 (AI)And He is before all things, and in Him (AJ)all things consist. 18 And (AK)He is the head of the body, the church, who is the beginning, (AL)the firstborn from the dead, that in all things He may have the preeminence.
Reconciled in Christ
19 For it pleased the Father that (AM)in Him all the fullness should dwell, 20 and (AN)by Him to reconcile (AO)all things to Himself, by Him, whether things on earth or things in heaven, (AP)having made peace through the blood of His cross.
21 And you, (AQ)who once were alienated and enemies in your mind (AR)by wicked works, yet now He has (AS)reconciled 22 (AT)in the body of His flesh through death, (AU)to present you holy, and blameless, and above reproach in His sight— 23 if indeed you continue (AV)in the faith, grounded and steadfast, and are (AW)not moved away from the hope of the gospel which you heard, (AX)which was preached to every creature under heaven, (AY)of which I, Paul, became a minister.
Sacrificial Service for Christ
24 (AZ)I now rejoice in my sufferings (BA)for you, and fill up in my flesh (BB)what is lacking in the afflictions of Christ, for (BC)the sake of His body, which is the church, 25 of which I became a minister according to (BD)the [g]stewardship from God which was given to me for you, to fulfill the word of God, 26 (BE)the [h]mystery which has been hidden from ages and from generations, (BF)but now has been revealed to His saints. 27 (BG)To them God willed to make known what are (BH)the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles: [i]which is (BI)Christ in you, (BJ)the hope of glory. 28 Him we preach, (BK)warning every man and teaching every man in all wisdom, (BL)that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus. 29 To this end I also labor, striving according to His working which works in me (BM)mightily.
