歌罗西书 4
Chinese Union Version Modern Punctuation (Simplified)
4 你们做主人的,要公公平平地待仆人,因为知道你们也有一位主在天上。
应当恒切祷告警醒感恩
2 你们要恒切祷告,在此警醒、感恩。 3 也要为我们祷告,求神给我们开传道的门,能以讲基督的奥秘——我为此被捆锁—— 4 叫我按着所该说的话将这奥秘发明出来。
当用智慧与外人交往
5 你们要爱惜光阴,用智慧与外人交往。 6 你们的言语要常常带着和气,好像用盐调和,就可知道该怎样回答各人。
7 有我亲爱的兄弟推基古要将我一切的事都告诉你们。他是忠心的执事,和我一同做主的仆人。 8 我特意打发他到你们那里去,好叫你们知道我们的光景,又叫他安慰你们的心。 9 我又打发一位亲爱忠心的兄弟阿尼西慕同去,他也是你们那里的人。他们要把这里一切的事都告诉你们。
10 与我一同坐监的亚里达古问你们安。巴拿巴的表弟马可也问你们安。说到这马可,你们已经受了吩咐,他若到了你们那里,你们就接待他。 11 耶数,又称为犹士都,也问你们安。奉割礼的人中,只有这三个人是为神的国与我一同做工的,也是叫我心里得安慰的。 12 有你们那里的人,做基督耶稣仆人的以巴弗问你们安。他在祷告之间,常为你们竭力地祈求,愿你们在神一切的旨意上得以完全,信心充足,能站立得稳。 13 他为你们和老底嘉并希拉波立的弟兄多多地劳苦,这是我可以给他作见证的。 14 所亲爱的医生路加和底马问你们安。 15 请问老底嘉的弟兄和宁法,并她家里的教会安。 16 你们念了这书信,便交给老底嘉的教会,叫他们也念;你们也要念从老底嘉来的书信。 17 要对亚基布说:“务要谨慎,尽你从主所受的职分。”
18 我保罗亲笔问你们安。你们要记念我的捆锁!愿恩惠常与你们同在!
歌羅西書 4
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Traditional)
4 你們作主人的,對待奴僕要公平合理,別忘了你們也有一位天上的主。
勉勵禱告
2 你們要以感恩和警醒的心恆切禱告。 3 要為我們禱告,求上帝為我們打開傳道的門,好傳揚基督的奧祕——我就是為此而被囚禁的。 4 也要求上帝使我能盡自己的本分把這奧祕講清楚。
5 你們要把握時機,運用智慧和非信徒交往。 6 談吐要溫和、風趣[a],知道該怎樣回答每個人。
結語
7 有關我一切的事情,推基古會告訴你們。他是我親愛的弟兄,是和我一同事奉主的忠僕。 8 我特意派他去見你們,好讓你們知道我們的近況,並鼓勵你們。 9 這次和他同行的還有另一位忠心的弟兄——親愛的阿尼西謀,他是你們那裡的人。他們會把這裡的詳細情形告訴你們。
問候
10 和我一同坐牢的亞里達古問候你們,巴拿巴的表弟馬可也問候你們。關於馬可,我囑咐過你們,如果他去你們那裡,你們要接待他。 11 耶數,又名猶士都,問候你們。受過割禮的猶太基督徒中,只有這三人和我一同為上帝的國工作,他們是我的安慰。 12 來自你們那裡、作基督耶穌奴僕的以巴弗弟兄問候你們。他常常懇切地為你們禱告,好使你們信心堅定,生命成熟,深知上帝一切的旨意。 13 他為了你們以及老底嘉和希拉波立的弟兄姊妹而不辭勞苦,這是我可以作證的。 14 此外,親愛的路加醫生和底馬也問候你們。 15 請代我問候在老底嘉的弟兄姊妹,也問候寧法姊妹和在她家裡聚會的人。 16 你們當眾宣讀這封信後,也要交給老底嘉教會宣讀,你們也要宣讀老底嘉教會轉給你們的信。 17 請告訴亞基布務要完成主交給他的工作。 18 我保羅親筆問候你們。請你們不要忘記獄中的我。
願上帝的恩典常與你們同在!

Colossians 4
Young's Literal Translation
4 The masters! that which is righteous and equal to the servants give ye, having known that ye also have a Master in the heavens.
2 In the prayer continue ye, watching in it in thanksgiving;
3 praying at the same time also for us, that God may open to us a door for the word, to speak the secret of the Christ, because of which also I have been bound,
4 that I may manifest it, as it behoveth me to speak;
5 in wisdom walk ye toward those without, the time forestalling;
6 your word always in grace -- with salt being seasoned -- to know how it behoveth you to answer each one.
7 All the things concerning me make known to you shall Tychicus -- the beloved brother, and faithful ministrant, and fellow-servant in the Lord --
8 whom I did send unto you for this very thing, that he might know the things concerning you, and might comfort your hearts,
9 with Onesimus the faithful and beloved brother, who is of you; all things to you shall they make known that [are] here.
10 Salute you doth Aristarchus, my fellow-captive, and Marcus, the nephew of Barnabas, (concerning whom ye did receive commands -- if he may come unto you receive him,)
11 and Jesus who is called Justus, who are of the circumcision: these only [are] fellow-workers for the reign of God who did become a comfort to me.
12 Salute you doth Epaphras, who [is] of you, a servant of Christ, always striving for you in the prayers, that ye may stand perfect and made full in all the will of God,
13 for I do testify to him, that he hath much zeal for you, and those in Laodicea, and those in Hierapolis.
14 Salute you doth Lukas, the beloved physician, and Demas;
15 salute ye those in Laodicea -- brethren, and Nymphas, and the assembly in his house;
16 and when the epistle may be read with you, cause that also in the assembly of the Laodiceans it may be read, and the [epistle] from Laodicea that ye also may read;
17 and say to Archippus, `See to the ministration that thou didst receive in the Lord, that thou mayest fulfil it.'
18 The salutation by the hand of me, Paul; remember my bonds; the grace [is] with you. Amen.
