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。
Colossians 4
New King James Version
Christian Graces; Final Greetings
4 Masters,(A) give your bondservants what is just and fair, knowing that you also have a Master in heaven.
Christian Graces
2 (B)Continue earnestly in prayer, being vigilant in it (C)with thanksgiving; 3 (D)meanwhile praying also for us, that God would (E)open to us a door for the word, to speak (F)the [a]mystery of Christ, (G)for which I am also in chains, 4 that I may make it manifest, as I ought to speak.
5 (H)Walk in (I)wisdom toward those who are outside, (J)redeeming the time. 6 Let your speech always be (K)with grace, (L)seasoned with salt, (M)that you may know how you ought to answer each one.
Final Greetings(N)
7 (O)Tychicus, a beloved brother, faithful minister, and fellow servant in the Lord, will tell you all the news about me. 8 (P)I am sending him to you for this very purpose, that [b]he may know your circumstances and comfort your hearts, 9 with (Q)Onesimus, a faithful and beloved brother, who is one of you. They will make known to you all things which are happening here.
10 (R)Aristarchus my fellow prisoner greets you, with (S)Mark the cousin of Barnabas (about whom you received instructions: if he comes to you, welcome him), 11 and Jesus who is called Justus. These are my only fellow workers for the kingdom of God who are of the circumcision; they have proved to be a comfort to me.
12 (T)Epaphras, who is one of you, a bondservant of Christ, greets you, always (U)laboring fervently for you in prayers, that you may stand (V)perfect and [c]complete in all the will of God. 13 For I bear him witness that he has a great [d]zeal for you, and those who are in Laodicea, and those in Hierapolis. 14 (W)Luke the beloved physician and (X)Demas greet you. 15 Greet the brethren who are in Laodicea, and [e]Nymphas and (Y)the church that is in [f]his house.
Closing Exhortations and Blessing
16 Now when (Z)this epistle is read among you, see that it is read also in the church of the Laodiceans, and that you likewise read the epistle from Laodicea. 17 And say to (AA)Archippus, “Take heed to (AB)the ministry which you have received in the Lord, that you may fulfill it.”
18 (AC)This salutation by my own hand—Paul. (AD)Remember my chains. Grace be with you. Amen.
