歌罗西书 4
Chinese New Version (Simplified)
歌罗西书 4
Chinese New Version (Simplified)
4 你们作主人的，要公平地对待仆人，因为知道你们也有一位主在天上。
训勉的话
2 你们要恒切祷告，在祷告的时候存着感恩的心警醒； 3 也要为我们祷告，求 神为我们开传道的门，宣讲基督的奥秘（我就是为了这个缘故被捆锁）， 4 使我照着我所应当说的，把这奥秘显明出来。 5 你们要把握时机，用智慧与外人来往。 6 你们的话要常常温和，好象是用盐调和的，使你们知道应当怎样回答各人。
问候的话
7 我的一切景况，推基古会告诉你们。他是我所爱的弟兄，是忠心的仆役，也是在主里同作仆人的。 8 我派他到你们那里去，使你们知道我们的景况，并且安慰你们的心。 9 他是跟欧尼西慕一同去的。欧尼西慕是忠心的亲爱的弟兄，是你们那里的人。他们会把这里的一切告诉你们。
10 与我一同坐监的亚里达古，和巴拿巴的表弟马可，问候你们。（关于马可，你们已经受了吩咐：他若到你们那里，你们要接待他。） 11 别号犹士都的耶数，也问候你们。在受过割礼的人中，只有这几位是为 神的国与我同工的，他们也成了我的安慰。 12 以巴弗问候你们，他是你们那里的人，是基督耶稣的仆人；他祷告的时候，常常竭力为你们祈求，好使你们在 神的一切旨意中完全站稳，满有坚定的信念。 13 我可以为他作证，他为了你们和在老底嘉、希拉波立的人，多受劳苦。 14 亲爱的路加医生和底马问候你们。 15 请问候在老底嘉的弟兄和宁法，以及在她家里的教会。 16 这封信你们宣读了以后，也要交给老底嘉的教会宣读；你们也要读老底嘉的那封信。 17 你们要对亚基布说：“你要留心在主里领受的职分，好把它完成。”
18 我保罗亲笔问候你们。你们要记念我的捆锁。愿恩惠与你们同在。

Darby Translation
4 Masters, give to bondmen what is just and fair, knowing that *ye* also have a Master in [the] heavens.
2 Persevere in prayer, watching in it with thanksgiving;
3 praying at the same time for us also, that God may open to us a door of the word to speak the mystery of Christ, on account of which also I am bound,
4 to the end that I may make it manifest as I ought to speak.
5 Walk in wisdom towards those without, redeeming opportunities.
6 [Let] your word [be] always with grace, seasoned with salt, [so as] to know how ye ought to answer each one.
7 Tychicus, the beloved brother and faithful minister and fellow-bondman in [the] Lord, will make known to you all that concerns me;
8 whom I have sent to you for this very purpose, that he might know your state, and that he might encourage your hearts:
9 with Onesimus, the faithful and beloved brother, who is [one] of you. They shall make known to you everything here.
10 Aristarchus my fellow-captive salutes you, and Mark, Barnabas's cousin, concerning whom ye have received orders, (if he come to you, receive him,)
11 and Jesus called Justus, who are of the circumcision. These [are the] only fellow-workers for the kingdom of God who have been a consolation to me.
12 Epaphras, who is [one] of you, [the] bondman of Christ Jesus, salutes you, always combating earnestly for you in prayers, to the end that ye may stand perfect and complete in all [the] will of God.
13 For I bear him witness that he labours much for you, and them in Laodicea, and them in Hierapolis.
14 Luke, the beloved physician, salutes you, and Demas.
15 Salute the brethren in Laodicea, and Nymphas, and the assembly which [is] in his house.
16 And when the letter has been read among you, cause that it be read also in the assembly of Laodiceans, and that *ye* also read that from Laodicea.
17 And say to Archippus, Take heed to the ministry which thou hast received in [the] Lord, to the end that thou fulfil it.
18 The salutation by the hand of me Paul. Remember my bonds. Grace [be] with you.

4 Masters,(A) deal with your slaves justly and fairly, since you know that you too have a Master in heaven.
Speaking to God and Others
2 Devote yourselves(B) to prayer; stay alert in it with thanksgiving. 3 At the same time, pray also for us that God may open a door(C) to us for the word, to speak the mystery of Christ,(D) for which I am in chains,(E) 4 so that I may make it known as I should. 5 Act wisely toward outsiders, making the most of the time.(F) 6 Let your speech always be gracious, seasoned with salt,(G) so that you may know how you should answer each person.(H)
Final Greetings
7 Tychicus,(I) our dearly loved brother, faithful(J) minister, and fellow servant in the Lord, will tell you all the news about me. 8 I have sent him to you for this very purpose, so that you may know how we are[a] and so that he may encourage(K) your hearts.(L) 9 He is coming with Onesimus,(M) a faithful and dearly loved brother, who is one of you. They will tell you about everything here.
10 Aristarchus, my fellow prisoner, sends you greetings, as does Mark,(N) Barnabas’s(O) cousin (concerning whom you have received instructions: if he comes to you, welcome him), 11 and so does Jesus who is called Justus. These alone of the circumcised are my coworkers for the kingdom of God, and they have been a comfort to me. 12 Epaphras,(P) who is one of you, a servant of Christ Jesus, sends you greetings. He is always wrestling(Q) for you in his prayers, so that you can stand mature and fully assured[b] in everything God wills.(R) 13 For I testify about him that he works hard[c](S) for you, for those in Laodicea,(T) and for those in Hierapolis. 14 Luke, the dearly loved physician, and Demas(U) send you greetings. 15 Give my greetings to the brothers and sisters in Laodicea, and to Nympha and the church in her home.(V) 16 After this letter has been read at your gathering, have it read also in the church of the Laodiceans; and see that you also read the letter from Laodicea. 17 And tell Archippus,(W) “Pay attention to the ministry you have received in the Lord, so that you can accomplish it.”(X)
18 I, Paul, am writing this greeting with my own hand. Remember my chains.(Y) Grace be with you.[d](Z)

Closing Exhortations
2 Devote yourselves to prayer. Be alert[a] and thankful when you pray. 3 At the same time also pray for us—that God would open before us a door for the word so that we may tell the secret about the Messiah,[b] for which I have been imprisoned. 4 May I reveal it as clearly as I should![c]
5 Behave wisely toward outsiders, making the best use of your time. 6 Let your speech always be gracious, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how you ought to answer everyone.
Greetings from Paul and His Fellow Workers
7 Tychicus will tell you everything that has happened to me. He is a dear brother, a faithful minister, and a fellow servant in the Lord. 8 I am sending him to you for this very reason, so that you may know how we are doing and that he may encourage your hearts. 9 He is coming with Onesimus, that faithful and dear brother, who is one of you. They will tell you everything that is happening here.
10 Aristarchus, my fellow prisoner, sends his greetings, as does Mark, the cousin of Barnabas. You have received instructions about him. If he comes to you, welcome him. 11 Jesus, who is called Justus, also greets you. These are the only ones of the circumcision who are fellow workers for the kingdom of God. They have been an encouragement to me. 12 Epaphras, who is one of you, a servant[d] of the Messiah[e] Jesus, sends you his greetings. He is always wrestling in his prayers for you, so that you may stand mature,[f] completely convinced of the entire will of God. 13 For I can testify on his behalf that he has a deep concern for you and for those in Laodicea and in Hierapolis. 14 Luke, the beloved physician, and Demas greet you. 15 Give my greetings to the brothers in Laodicea, especially to Nympha and the church that is in her house. 16 When this letter has been read among you, have it read also in the church of the Laodiceans, and be sure to read the one from Laodicea. 17 Tell Archippus, “See that you complete the ministry you have received from the Lord.”
Final Greeting
18 This greeting is written with my own signature[g]—“Paul.” Remember that I remain imprisoned. May grace be with you! Amen.[h]
