歌羅西書 1
Revised Chinese Union Version (Traditional Script) Shen Edition
問候
1 奉 神旨意,作基督耶穌使徒的保羅,和我們的弟兄提摩太, 2 寫信給歌羅西的聖徒,在基督裏忠心的弟兄。願恩惠、平安[a]從我們的父 神歸給你們!
為信徒感謝 神
3 我們為你們禱告的時候,常常感謝我們主耶穌基督的父 神[b], 4 因為聽見你們對基督耶穌的信心,並對眾聖徒有的愛心。 5 這都是因着那給你們存在天上的盼望,它就是你們從前所聽見真理的道,就是福音; 6 這福音傳到你們那裏,也傳到普天下,並且繼續增長,不斷結果,正如自從你們聽見福音,真正知道 神恩惠的日子起,在你們中間也是這樣。 7 這福音是你們從我們所親愛、一同作僕人的以巴弗學到的。他為我們[c]作了基督的忠心僕役, 8 也把聖靈賜給你們的愛告訴我們。
基督和他的工作
9 因此,我們自從聽見的日子就不住地為你們禱告和祈求,願你們滿有一切屬靈的智慧和悟性,真正知道 神的旨意, 10 好使你們行事為人對得起主,凡事蒙他喜悅,在一切善事上結果子,對 神的認識更有長進。 11 願你們從他榮耀的權能中,得以在一切事上力上加力,好使你們凡事歡歡喜喜地忍耐寬容, 12 又感謝父,使你們配與眾聖徒在光明中分享基業。 13 他救了我們脫離黑暗的權勢,遷移到他愛子的國度裏。 14 藉着他的愛子,我們得蒙救贖,罪得赦免。
15 愛子是那看不見的 神之像,
是首生的[d],在一切被造的以先。
16 因為萬有都是在他裏面[e]造的,
無論是天上的、地上的,
能看見的、不能看見的,
或是有權位的、統治的,
或是執政的、掌權的,
一概都是藉着他為着他造的。
17 他在萬有之先;
萬有也靠他而存在。
18 他是身體(教會)的頭;
他是元始,
是從死人中復活的首生者,
好讓他在萬有中居首位。
19 因為 神喜歡使一切的豐盛在他裏面居住,
20 藉着他[f], 神使萬有與自己和好,
無論是地上的、天上的,
都藉着他在十字架上所流的血促成了和平。
21 從前你們與 神隔絕,心思上與他為敵,行為邪惡; 22 但如今,他藉着他兒子肉身的死,已經使你們與他自己和好了[g],把你們獻在他的面前,成為聖潔,沒有瑕疵,無可指責。 23 只要你們持守信仰,根基穩固,堅定不移,不致動搖,離開了你們從前所聽見的福音的盼望;這福音也是傳給天下一切被造之物的,我—保羅作了這福音的僕役。
保羅為教會的工作
24 現在我為你們受苦,倒很快樂;並且為基督的身體,就是為教會,我要在自己的肉身上補滿基督未盡的苦難。 25 我照 神為你們所賜我的職分作了教會的僕役,要把 神的道傳得完滿; 26 這道就是歷世歷代所隱藏的奧祕,但如今向他的聖徒顯明了。 27 神要讓他們知道,這奧祕在外邦人中有何等豐盛的榮耀;就是基督在你們心裏[h]成了得榮耀的盼望。 28 我們傳揚他,是用諸般的智慧,勸戒各人,教導各人,要把各人在基督裏完完全全地獻上[i]。 29 我也為此勞苦,照着他在我裏面運用的大能盡心竭力。
歌罗西书 1
Chinese New Version (Traditional)
問安
1 奉 神旨意作基督耶穌使徒的保羅,和提摩太弟兄, 2 寫信給在歌羅西的聖徒,和在基督裡忠心的弟兄。願恩惠平安從我們的父 神臨到你們。
為歌羅西信徒感謝 神
3 我們為你們祈禱的時候,常常感謝 神我們主耶穌基督的父, 4 因為聽見你們在基督耶穌裡的信心,和對眾聖徒的愛心。 5 這都是由於那給你們存在天上的盼望,這盼望是你們從前在福音真理的道上聽過的。 6 這福音傳到你們那裡,也傳到全世界;你們聽了福音,因著真理確實認識了 神的恩典之後,這福音就在你們中間不斷地結果和增長,在全世界也是一樣。 7 這福音也就是你們從我們親愛的、一同作僕人(“僕人”或譯:“執事”)的以巴弗那裡學到的。他為你們作了基督忠心的僕役, 8 也把你們在聖靈裡的愛心告訴了我們。
保羅的祈禱
9 因此,我們從聽見的那天起,就不停地為你們禱告祈求,願你們藉著一切屬靈的智慧和悟性,可以充分明白 神的旨意, 10 使你們行事為人對得起主,凡事蒙他喜悅;在一切善事上多結果子,更加認識 神; 11 依照他榮耀的大能得著一切能力,帶著喜樂的心,凡事忍耐寬容; 12 並且感謝父,他使你們有資格分享聖徒在光明中的基業。 13 他救我們脫離了黑暗的權勢,把我們遷入他愛子的國裡。 14 我們在愛子裡蒙了救贖,罪得赦免。
基督在萬有之上
15 這愛子是那看不見的 神的形象,是首先的,在一切被造的之上。 16 因為天上地上的萬有:看得見的和看不見的,無論是坐王位的,或是作主的,或是執政的,或是掌權的,都是本著他造的;萬有都是藉著他,又是為著他而造的。 17 他在萬有之先;萬有也一同靠著他而存在。 18 他是身體的頭,這身體就是教會。他是元始,是死人中首先復生的,好讓他在凡事上居首位; 19 因為 神樂意使所有的豐盛都住在愛子裡面, 20 並且藉著他在十字架上所流的血成就了和平,使萬有,無論是地上天上的,都藉著他與 神和好了。
21 雖然你們從前也是和 神隔絕,心思上與他為敵,行為邪惡, 22 但現今 神在愛子的肉身上,藉著他的死,使你們與 神和好了,為了要把你們這些聖潔、無瑕疵、無可指摘的人,呈獻在他面前。 23 只是你們要常存信心,根基穩固,不受動搖偏離福音的盼望。這福音你們聽過了,也傳給了天下萬民;我保羅也作了這福音的僕役。
竭力傳揚 神的奧祕
24 現在我為你們受苦,我覺得喜樂;為了基督的身體,就是為了教會,我要在自己的肉身上,補滿基督苦難的不足。 25-26 我照著 神為你們而賜給我的管家職分,作了教會的僕役,要把 神的道,就是歷世歷代隱藏的奧祕,傳得完備。現在這奧祕已經向他的眾聖徒顯明了。 27 神願意使他們知道這奧祕在外族人中有多麼榮耀的豐盛,這奧祕就是基督在你們裡面成了榮耀的盼望。 28 我們傳揚他,是用各樣的智慧,勸戒各人,教導各人,為了要使各人在基督裡得到完全。 29 我也為了這事勞苦,按著他用大能在我心中運行的動力,竭力奮鬥。
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.
