Greeting
1 Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by God’s will,(A) and Timothy(B) our brother:
2 To the saints in Christ at Colossae, who are faithful brothers and sisters.
Grace to you and peace from God our Father.[a]
Thanksgiving
3 We always thank God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, when we pray for you, 4 for we have heard of your faith in Christ Jesus and of the love you have for all the saints 5 because of the hope reserved for you in heaven. You have already heard about this hope in the word of truth,(C) the gospel 6 that has come to you. It is bearing fruit(D) and growing all over the world,(E) just as it has among you since the day you heard it and came to truly appreciate(F) God’s grace.[b](G) 7 You learned this from Epaphras,(H) our dearly loved fellow servant. He is a faithful minister of Christ(I) on your[c] behalf, 8 and he has told us about your love in the Spirit.(J)
Prayer for Spiritual Growth
9 For this reason also, since the day we heard this, we haven’t stopped praying for you. We are asking(K) that you may be filled with the knowledge(L) of his will(M) in all wisdom and spiritual understanding,[d] 10 so that you may walk worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing to him: bearing fruit in every good work(N) and growing in the knowledge of God,(O) 11 being strengthened(P) with all power,(Q) according to his glorious(R) might, so that you may have great endurance and patience, joyfully 12 giving thanks to the Father, who has enabled you[e] to share in the saints’ inheritance in the light.(S) 13 He has rescued(T) us from the domain of darkness and transferred us into the kingdom(U) of the Son(V) he loves.(W) 14 In him we have redemption,[f] the forgiveness of sins.
The Centrality of Christ
15 He is the image of the invisible God,(X)
the firstborn over all creation.(Y)
16 For everything was created by him,(Z)
in heaven and on earth,
the visible and the invisible,
whether thrones or dominions
or rulers or authorities—
all things have been created through him and for him.(AA)
17 He is before all things,(AB)
and by him all things(AC) hold together.
18 He is also the head of the body, the church;
he is the beginning,(AD)
the firstborn from the dead,(AE)
so that he might come to have
first place in everything.
19 For God was pleased to have
all his fullness(AF) dwell in him,(AG)
20 and through him to reconcile
everything to himself,
whether things on earth or things in heaven,
by making peace(AH)
through his blood,(AI) shed on the cross.[g](AJ)
21 Once you were alienated and hostile in your minds as expressed in your evil actions. 22 But now he has reconciled you by his physical body through his death,(AK) to present you holy, faultless,(AL) and blameless before him(AM)— 23 if indeed you remain grounded and steadfast in the faith(AN) and are not shifted away from the hope(AO) of the gospel that you heard. This gospel has been proclaimed in all creation(AP) under heaven,(AQ) and I, Paul,(AR) have become a servant of it.
Paul’s Ministry
24 Now I rejoice in my sufferings(AS) for you, and I am completing in my flesh what is lacking in Christ’s afflictions for his body,(AT) that is, the church. 25 I have become its servant, according to God’s commission that was given to me for you, to make the word of God fully known, 26 the mystery hidden for ages and generations but now revealed to his saints. 27 God wanted to make known among the Gentiles the glorious wealth of this mystery, which is Christ(AU) in you, the hope(AV) of glory. 28 We proclaim him, warning and teaching everyone with all wisdom, so that we may present everyone mature in Christ. 29 I labor for this, striving(AW) with his strength that works powerfully in me.(AX)

Címzés, üdvözlés
1 Pál, Isten akaratából Krisztus Jézus apostola, és Timóteus testvér,
2 a Krisztusban megszentelt hívő testvéreknek, akik Kolosséban élnek: kegyelem néktek és békesség Istentől, a mi Atyánktól.
Hálaadás a gyülekezet hitéért
3 Hálát adunk mindenkor Istennek, a mi Urunk Jézus Krisztus Atyjának, amikor értetek imádkozunk,
4 mivel hallottunk a Krisztus Jézusba vetett hitetekről és arról a szeretetről, amely valamennyi szent iránt él bennetek.
5 Hálát adunk azért a reménységért is, amely készen van számotokra a mennyekben, amelyről már előbb hallottatok az igazság beszédéből, az evangéliumból.
6 Mert ez hozzátok is eljutott, és ahogyan az egész világon gyümölcsöt terem és növekedik, ugyanúgy közöttetek is, attól a naptól fogva, amelyen meghallottátok, és igazán megismertétek az Isten kegyelmét.
7 Így tanultátok ezt Epafrásztól, szeretett szolgatársunktól, aki a Krisztus hű szolgája értetek.
8 Ő hozta nekünk a jó hírt a Lélektől kapott szeretetetekről.
Krisztus mindeneket megbékéltetett testében
9 Ezért tehát, attól a naptól fogva, amelyen ezt meghallottuk, szüntelenül imádkozunk és könyörgünk értetek, hogy tökéletesen ismerjétek meg az ő akaratát minden lelki bölcsesség és belátás révén,
10 hogy élhessetek az Úrhoz méltóan, teljes mértékben az ő tetszésére, és teremjetek gyümölcsöt mindenfajta jó cselekedettel, és növekedjetek az Isten ismeretében.
11 Erősödjetek meg minden erővel az ő dicsőségének nagysága szerint a teljes állhatatosságra és az örömmel viselt hosszútűrésre.
12 Adjatok hálát az Atyának, aki alkalmassá tett titeket arra, hogy a szentek örökségében, a világosságban részesüljetek.
13 Ő szabadított meg minket a sötétség hatalmából, és ő vitt át minket szeretett Fiának országába,
14 akiben van megváltásunk és bűneink bocsánata.
15 Ő a láthatatlan Isten képe, az elsőszülött minden teremtmény közül.
16 Mert benne teremtetett minden a mennyen és a földön, a láthatók és a láthatatlanok, akár trónusok, akár uralmak, akár fejedelemségek, akár hatalmasságok: minden általa és reá nézve teremtetett.
17 Ő előbb volt mindennél, és minden őbenne áll fenn.
18 Ő a feje a testnek, az egyháznak is, ő a kezdet, az elsőszülött a halottak közül, hogy minden tekintetben ő legyen az első.
19 Mert tetszett az egész Teljességnek, hogy benne lakjék,
20 és hogy általa békéltessen meg önmagával mindent, a földön és a mennyben, úgy, hogy békességet szerzett a keresztfán kiontott vére által.
21 Titeket is, akik egykor Istentől elidegenedtek, és ellenséges gondolkozásúak voltatok gonosz cselekedeteitek miatt,
22 most viszont megbékéltetett emberi testében, halála által, hogy mint szenteket, hibátlanokat és feddhetetleneket állítson majd színe elé.
23 Ha ugyan megmaradtok a hitben szilárdan és egyenesen, el nem tántorodva az evangélium reménységétől, amelyet hallottatok, amely hirdettetett minden teremtménynek az ég alatt, és amelynek én, Pál, szolgájává lettem.
Pál szolgálata szenvedések között
24 Most örülök a tiértetek elviselt szenvedéseimnek, és testem elszenvedi mindazt, ami a Krisztus gyötrelmeiből még hátravan, az ő testéért, amely az egyház.
25 Ennek a szolgájává lettem a szerint a megbízatás szerint, amelyet Isten nekem a ti javatokra adott, hogy teljesen feltárjam előttetek az Isten igéjét;
26 mégpedig azt a titkot, amely örök idők és nemzedékek óta rejtve volt, de amely most kijelentetett az ő szentjeinek,
27 akiknek Isten tudtul akarta adni, hogy milyen gazdag ennek a titoknak dicsősége a pogány népek között. Ez a titok az, hogy Krisztus közöttetek van: reménysége az eljövendő dicsőségnek.
28 Mi őt hirdetjük, miközben minden embert teljes bölcsességgel intünk és tanítunk, hogy minden embert tökéletessé tegyünk a Krisztusban.
29 Ezért fáradozom én is, és küzdök az ő ereje által, amely hatalmasan működik bennem.

1 Paulus, Kristi Jesu Apostel ved Guds Villie, og Broderen Timotheus. 2 til de hellige og troende Brødre i Kristus i Kolossæ: Nåde være med eder og Fred fra Gud vor Fader!
3 Vi takke Gud og vor Herres Jesu Kristi Fader altid, når vi bede for eder, 4 da vi have hørt om eders Tro på Kristus Jesus og den Kærlighed, som I have til alle de hellige 5 på Grund af det Håb, som er henlagt til eder i Himlene, om hvilket I forud have hørt i Evangeliets Sandheds Ord, 6 der er kommet til eder, ligesom det også er i den hele Verden, idet det bærer Frugt og vokser, ligesom det også gør iblandt eder fra den Dag, I hørte og erkendte Guds Nåde i Sandhed, 7 således som I have lært af Epafras, vor elskede Medtjener som er en tro Kristi Tjener for eder, 8 han, som også gav os eders Kærlighed i Ånden til Kende.
9 Derfor have også vi fra den Dag, vi hørte det, ikke ophørt at bede for eder og begære, at I måtte fyldes med Erkendelsen af hans Villie i al Visdom og åndelige Indsigt 10 til at vandre Herren værdigt, til alt Velbehag, idet I bære Frugt og vokse i al god Gerning ved Erkendelsen af Gud, 11 idet I styrkes med al Styrke efter hans Herligheds Kraft til al Udholdenhed og Tålmodighed med Glæde 12 og takke Faderen, som gjorde os dygtige til at have Del i de helliges Arvelod i Lyset, 13 han, som friede os ud af Mørkets Magt og satte os over i sin elskede Søns Rige,
14 i hvem vi have Forløsningen, Syndernes Forladelse, 15 han, som er den usynlige Guds Billede, al Skabnings førstefødte; 16 thi i ham bleve alle Ting skabte i Himlene og på Jorden, de synlige og de usynlige, være sig Troner eller Herredømmer eller Magter eller Myndigheder. Alle Ting ere skabte ved ham og til ham; 17 og han er forud for alle Ting, og alle Ting bestå ved ham. 18 Og han er Legemets Hoved, nemlig Menighedens, han, som er Begyndelsen, førstefødt ud af de døde, for at han skulde blive den ypperste i alle Ting; 19 thi det behagede Gud, at i ham skulde hele Fylden bo, 20 og ved ham at forlige alle Ting med sig, være sig dem på Jorden eller dem i Himlene, idet han stiftede Fred ved hans Kors's Blod. 21 Også eder, som fordum vare fremmedgjorte og fjendske af Sindelag i eders onde Gerninger, 22 har han dog nu forligt i sit Køds Legeme ved Døden for at fremstille eder hellige og ulastelige og ustraffelige for sit Åsyn, 23 så sandt I blive i Troen, grundfæstede og faste, uden at lade eder rokke fra Håbet i det Evangelium, som I have hørt, hvilket er blevet prædiket i al Skabningen under Himmelen, og hvis Tjener jeg Paulus er bleven.
24 Nu glæder jeg mig over mine Lidelser for eder, og hvad der fattes i Kristi Trængsler, udfylder jeg i mit Kød for hans Legeme, som er Menigheden, 25 hvis Tjener jeg er bleven efter den Guds Husholdning, som blev given mig over for eder, nemlig fuldelig at forkynde Guds Ord, 26 den Hemmelighed, der var skjult igennem alle Tider og Slægter, men nu er bleven åbenbaret for hans hellige, 27 hvem Gud vilde tilkendegive, hvilken Rigdom på Herlighed iblandt Hedningerne der ligger i denne Hemmelighed, som er Kristus i eder, Herlighedens Håb, 28 hvem vi forkynde, idet vi påminde hvert Menneske og lære hvert Menneske med al Visdom, for at vi kunne fremstille hvert Menneske som fuldkomment i Kristus; 29 hvorpå jeg også arbejder, idet jeg kæmper ifølge hans Kraft, som virker mægtigt i mig.
Colossians 1
New International Version
Colossians 1
New International Version
1 Paul, an apostle(A) of Christ Jesus by the will of God,(B) and Timothy(C) our brother,
2 To God’s holy people in Colossae, the faithful brothers and sisters[a] in Christ:
Grace(D) and peace to you from God our Father.[b](E)
Thanksgiving and Prayer
3 We always thank God,(F) the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, when we pray for you, 4 because we have heard of your faith in Christ Jesus and of the love(G) you have for all God’s people(H)— 5 the faith and love that spring from the hope(I) stored up for you in heaven(J) and about which you have already heard in the true message(K) of the gospel 6 that has come to you. In the same way, the gospel is bearing fruit(L) and growing throughout the whole world(M)—just as it has been doing among you since the day you heard it and truly understood God’s grace. 7 You learned it from Epaphras,(N) our dear fellow servant,[c] who is a faithful minister(O) of Christ on our[d] behalf, 8 and who also told us of your love in the Spirit.(P)
9 For this reason, since the day we heard about you,(Q) we have not stopped praying for you.(R) We continually ask God to fill you with the knowledge of his will(S) through all the wisdom and understanding that the Spirit gives,[e](T) 10 so that you may live a life worthy(U) of the Lord and please him(V) in every way: bearing fruit in every good work, growing in the knowledge of God,(W) 11 being strengthened with all power(X) according to his glorious might so that you may have great endurance and patience,(Y) 12 and giving joyful thanks to the Father,(Z) who has qualified you[f] to share in the inheritance(AA) of his holy people in the kingdom of light.(AB) 13 For he has rescued us from the dominion of darkness(AC) and brought us into the kingdom(AD) of the Son he loves,(AE) 14 in whom we have redemption,(AF) the forgiveness of sins.(AG)
The Supremacy of the Son of God
15 The Son is the image(AH) of the invisible God,(AI) the firstborn(AJ) over all creation. 16 For in him all things were created:(AK) things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities;(AL) all things have been created through him and for him.(AM) 17 He is before all things,(AN) and in him all things hold together. 18 And he is the head(AO) of the body, the church;(AP) he is the beginning and the firstborn(AQ) from among the dead,(AR) so that in everything he might have the supremacy. 19 For God was pleased(AS) to have all his fullness(AT) dwell in him, 20 and through him to reconcile(AU) to himself all things, whether things on earth or things in heaven,(AV) by making peace(AW) through his blood,(AX) shed on the cross.
21 Once you were alienated from God and were enemies(AY) in your minds(AZ) because of[g] your evil behavior. 22 But now he has reconciled(BA) you by Christ’s physical body(BB) through death to present you(BC) holy in his sight, without blemish and free from accusation(BD)— 23 if you continue(BE) in your faith, established(BF) and firm, and do not move from the hope(BG) held out in the gospel. This is the gospel that you heard and that has been proclaimed to every creature under heaven,(BH) and of which I, Paul, have become a servant.(BI)
Paul’s Labor for the Church
24 Now I rejoice(BJ) in what I am suffering for you, and I fill up in my flesh what is still lacking in regard to Christ’s afflictions,(BK) for the sake of his body, which is the church.(BL) 25 I have become its servant(BM) by the commission God gave me(BN) to present to you the word of God(BO) in its fullness— 26 the mystery(BP) that has been kept hidden for ages and generations, but is now disclosed to the Lord’s people. 27 To them God has chosen to make known(BQ) among the Gentiles the glorious riches(BR) of this mystery, which is Christ in you,(BS) the hope of glory.
28 He is the one we proclaim, admonishing(BT) and teaching everyone with all wisdom,(BU) so that we may present everyone fully mature(BV) in Christ. 29 To this end I strenuously(BW) contend(BX) with all the energy Christ so powerfully works in me.(BY)
