New American Standard Bible

Thankfulness for Spiritual Attainments

1 (A)Paul, (B)an apostle of Christ Jesus [a](C)by the will of God, and (D)Timothy [b]our brother,

2 To the [c](E)saints and faithful brothers and sisters in Christ who are at Colossae: (F)Grace to you and peace from God our Father.

3 (G)We [d]give thanks to God, (H)the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, praying always for you, 4 (I)since we heard of your faith in Christ Jesus and the (J)love which you have [e]for (K)all the [f]saints; 5 because of the (L)hope (M)reserved for you in [g]heaven, of which you previously (N)heard in the word of truth, [h]the gospel 6 which has come to you, just as [i](O)in all the world also it is bearing (P)fruit and [j]increasing, even as it has been doing in you also since the day you (Q)heard it and [k]understood the grace of God in truth; 7 just as you learned it from (R)Epaphras, our (S)beloved fellow bond-servant, who is a faithful servant of Christ on our behalf, 8 and he also informed us of your (T)love in the Spirit.

9 For this reason we also, (U)since the day we heard about it, (V)have not ceased praying for you and asking that you may be filled with the [l](W)knowledge of His will in all spiritual (X)wisdom and understanding, 10 so that you will (Y)walk in a manner worthy of the Lord, [m](Z)to please Him in all respects, (AA)bearing fruit in every good work and [n]increasing in the [o]knowledge of God; 11 (AB)strengthened with all power, according to [p]His glorious might, [q]for the attaining of all perseverance and [r]patience; (AC)joyously 12 giving thanks to (AD)the Father, who has qualified us [s]to share in (AE)the inheritance of the [t]saints in (AF)light.

The Incomparable Christ

13 [u]For He rescued us from the [v](AG)domain of darkness, and transferred us to the kingdom of [w](AH)His beloved Son, 14 (AI)in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.

15 [x]He is the (AJ)image of the (AK)invisible God, the (AL)firstborn of all creation: 16 for [y](AM)by Him all things were created, (AN)both in the heavens and on earth, visible and invisible, whether (AO)thrones, or dominions, or rulers, or authorities—(AP)all things have been created through Him and for Him. 17 He [z](AQ)is before all things, and in Him all things [aa]hold together. 18 He is also the (AR)head of (AS)the body, the church; and He is (AT)the beginning, (AU)the firstborn from the dead, so that He Himself will come to have first place in everything. 19 For [ab]it was (AV)the Father’s good pleasure for all (AW)the [ac]fullness to dwell in Him, 20 and through Him to (AX)reconcile all things to Himself, (AY)whether things on earth or things in [ad]heaven, having made (AZ)peace through (BA)the blood of His cross.

21 And although you were (BB)previously alienated and hostile in attitude, engaged in evil deeds, 22 yet He has now (BC)reconciled you in His (BD)body of flesh through death, in order to (BE)present you before Him (BF)holy and blameless and beyond reproach— 23 if indeed you continue in [ae]the faith firmly (BG)established and steadfast, and not shifting from the (BH)hope of the gospel that you have heard, which was proclaimed (BI)in all creation under heaven, (BJ)and of which I, Paul, [af]was made a [ag](BK)minister.

24 (BL)Now I rejoice in my sufferings for your sake, and in my flesh (BM)I am supplementing what is lacking [ah]in Christ’s afflictions in behalf of (BN)His body, which is the church. 25 (BO)I [ai]was made a minister of this church according to the (BP)commission from God granted to me for your benefit, so that I might [aj]fully carry out the preaching of the word of God, 26 that is, (BQ)the mystery which had been hidden from the past ages and generations, but now has been revealed to His [ak]saints, 27 to whom (BR)God willed to make known what (BS)the wealth of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles is, the mystery that is (BT)Christ in you, the (BU)hope of glory. 28 We proclaim Him, (BV)admonishing every person and teaching every person [al]with all (BW)wisdom, so that we may (BX)present every person [am](BY)complete in Christ. 29 For this purpose I also (BZ)labor, (CA)striving (CB)according to His [an]power which [ao]works mightily within me.

歌罗西书 1
Chinese Standard Bible (Simplified)

问安

1 照着神的旨意做基督耶稣使徒的保罗，以及弟兄提摩太，

2 致歌罗西的圣徒们，就是在基督里忠心的弟兄：

愿恩典与平安从神我们的父[a]临到你们！

感恩

3 我们为你们祷告的时候，总是感谢神我们主耶稣基督的父， 4 因为我们听说了你们在基督耶稣里的信仰，以及对所有圣徒所怀的爱—— 5 这信心和爱是藉着那为你们存留在天上的盼望，这盼望是你们在传到你们那里的福音真理之话语中所听过的， 6 正如它在全世界，不断地结果子和扩展[b][c]；自从你们在真理中听见并了解神恩典的那一天起，在你们中间也像这一样， 7 正如你们从蒙爱的人，就是与我们同做奴仆的以帕弗拉那里所学到的；他为你们[d]做了基督忠心的仆人[e]， 8 也把你们在圣灵里的爱告诉了我们。

为属灵增长祈求

9 为此，我们自从听到这事的那一天起，就不断地为你们祷告和祈求：愿你们藉着一切属灵的智慧和悟性，能被神旨意的真正知识所充满； 10 好让你们行事为人配得上主，凡事蒙他喜悦，在一切美善的工作中结出果子，在神的真正知识上不断长进。 11 愿你们按照他荣耀的权能，藉着一切能力得以刚强，好让你们凡事忍耐宽容，怀着喜乐的心 12 感谢父——他使你们[f]能够分享圣徒们在光明中的继业； 13 他救我们脱离了黑暗的权势，把我们迁入他爱子的国度； 14 在他里面，[g]我们得蒙救赎，罪得赦免。

基督为中心

15 爱子是那不可见之神的形像，
是一切被造之物的长子[h]，
16 因为万有都是藉着他造的：
天上和地上的，看得见和看不见的，
无论王位或主权，统治的或掌权的，
一切都是藉着他造的，也是为他而造的，
17 他在万有之先，万有也藉着他而存在，
18 他是身体的头，就是教会的头，
他是元始，是从死人中首先复活的[i]，
为要使他能在万有中居首位，
19 因为父[j]乐意使一切的丰盛完美都住在他里面，
20 又藉着他在十字架上所流的血成就了和平，
就是藉着他使万有——无论地上的或天上的——
都与他自己和好了。

21 从前，你们在邪恶的行为中与神[k]隔绝，在意念中与他为敌； 22 但如今，神在基督的血肉之躯上，藉着死使你们与他自己和好了，并且使你们站在他面前，是圣洁、毫无瑕疵、无可指责的。 23 可是你们要持守信仰，立定根基，坚定不移，不要从你们所听到的福音盼望上被挪去。这福音是传给天下万人[l]的，我保罗也成了这福音的仆人[m]。

保罗的服事

24 如今我为你们受苦难，感到欢喜；并且我为基督的身体，就是教会，要在我的肉体上补满基督患难的缺欠。 25 神为了你们的缘故赐给了我任务[n]，我按照这任务成为教会的仆人[o]，为要使神的话语[p]完全传开[q]。 26 这话语就是历世历代被隐藏的奥秘，但如今已经显明给他的圣徒们。 27 神愿意在外邦人中，让他们明白什么是这奥秘的荣耀的丰盛；那就是：基督在你们里面，他是荣耀的盼望！ 28 我们传扬基督，用一切的智慧劝诫所有人，教导所有人，好让我们使所有的人在基督[r]里成熟[s]，能够献给神[t]。 29 我也为此劳苦，藉着他在我里面的大能作为而争战。
