歌罗西书 4
Chinese New Version (Traditional)
4 你們作主人的，要公平地對待僕人，因為知道你們也有一位主在天上。
訓勉的話
2 你們要恆切禱告，在禱告的時候存著感恩的心警醒； 3 也要為我們禱告，求 神為我們開傳道的門，宣講基督的奧祕（我就是為了這個緣故被捆鎖）， 4 使我照著我所應當說的，把這奧祕顯明出來。 5 你們要把握時機，用智慧與外人來往。 6 你們的話要常常溫和，好像是用鹽調和的，使你們知道應當怎樣回答各人。
問候的話
7 我的一切景況，推基古會告訴你們。他是我所愛的弟兄，是忠心的僕役，也是在主裡同作僕人的。 8 我派他到你們那裡去，使你們知道我們的景況，並且安慰你們的心。 9 他是跟歐尼西慕一同去的。歐尼西慕是忠心的親愛的弟兄，是你們那裡的人。他們會把這裡的一切告訴你們。
10 與我一同坐監的亞里達古，和巴拿巴的表弟馬可，問候你們。（關於馬可，你們已經受了吩咐：他若到你們那裡，你們要接待他。） 11 別號猶士都的耶數，也問候你們。在受過割禮的人中，只有這幾位是為 神的國與我同工的，他們也成了我的安慰。 12 以巴弗問候你們，他是你們那裡的人，是基督耶穌的僕人；他禱告的時候，常常竭力為你們祈求，好使你們在 神的一切旨意中完全站穩，滿有堅定的信念。 13 我可以為他作證，他為了你們和在老底嘉、希拉波立的人，多受勞苦。 14 親愛的路加醫生和底馬問候你們。 15 請問候在老底嘉的弟兄和寧法，以及在她家裡的教會。 16 這封信你們宣讀了以後，也要交給老底嘉的教會宣讀；你們也要讀老底嘉的那封信。 17 你們要對亞基布說：“你要留心在主裡領受的職分，好把它完成。”
18 我保羅親筆問候你們。你們要記念我的捆鎖。願恩惠與你們同在。
Colossesi 4
Conferenza Episcopale Italiana
4 Voi, padroni, date ai vostri servi ciò che è giusto ed equo, sapendo che anche voi avete un padrone in cielo.
Spirito apostolico
2 Perseverate nella preghiera e vegliate in essa, rendendo grazie. 3 Pregate anche per noi, perché Dio ci apra la porta della predicazione e possiamo annunziare il mistero di Cristo, per il quale mi trovo in catene: 4 che possa davvero manifestarlo, parlandone come devo.
5 Comportatevi saggiamente con quelli di fuori; approfittate di ogni occasione. 6 Il vostro parlare sia sempre con grazia, condito di sapienza, per sapere come rispondere a ciascuno.
Notizie personali
7 Tutto quanto mi riguarda ve lo riferirà Tìchico, il caro fratello e ministro fedele, mio compagno nel servizio del Signore, 8 che io mando a voi, perché conosciate le nostre condizioni e perché rechi conforto ai vostri cuori. 9 Con lui verrà anche Onèsimo, il fedele e caro fratello, che è dei vostri. Essi vi informeranno su tutte le cose di qui.
Saluti e augurio finale
10 Vi salutano Aristarco, mio compagno di carcere, e Marco, il cugino di Barnaba, riguardo al quale avete ricevuto istruzioni - se verrà da voi, fategli buona accoglienza - 11 e Gesù, chiamato Giusto. Di quelli venuti dalla circoncisione questi soli hanno collaborato con me per il regno di Dio e mi sono stati di consolazione. 12 Vi saluta Epafra, servo di Cristo Gesù, che è dei vostri, il quale non cessa di lottare per voi nelle sue preghiere, perché siate saldi, perfetti e aderenti a tutti i voleri di Dio. 13 Gli rendo testimonianza che si impegna a fondo per voi, come per quelli di Laodicèa e di Geràpoli. 14 Vi salutano Luca, il caro medico, e Dema.
15 Salutate i fratelli di Laodicèa e Ninfa con la comunità che si raduna nella sua casa. 16 E quando questa lettera sarà stata letta da voi, fate che venga letta anche nella Chiesa dei Laodicesi e anche voi leggete quella inviata ai Laodicesi. 17 Dite ad Archippo: «Considera il ministero che hai ricevuto nel Signore e vedi di compierlo bene».
18 Il saluto è di mia propria mano, di me, Paolo. Ricordatevi delle mie catene. La grazia sia con voi.
Colossians 4
21st Century King James Version
4 Masters, give unto your servants that which is just and equitable, knowing that ye also have a Master in Heaven.
2 Continue in prayer and watch therein with thanksgiving,
3 besides praying also for us that God would open unto us a door of utterance to speak the mystery of Christ, for which I am also in bonds,
4 that I may make it manifest, as I ought to speak.
5 Walk in wisdom toward those who are outsiders, redeeming the time.
6 Let your speech be always with grace, seasoned with salt, that ye may know how ye ought to answer every man.
7 Tychicus, who is a beloved brother and a faithful minister and fellow servant in the Lord, shall declare unto you all my circumstances.
8 I have sent him unto you for the same purpose, that he might know your state and comfort your hearts,
9 and with him Onesimus, a faithful and beloved brother, who is one of you. They shall make known unto you all things which are done here.
10 Aristarchus my fellow prisoner saluteth you, and also Mark, Barnabas’ sister’s son (concerning whom ye received instructions that if he come unto you, receive him),
11 and Jesus who is called Justus, who are of the Circumcision. These only are my fellow workers for the Kingdom of God, who have been a comfort unto me.
12 Epaphras, a servant of Christ who is one of you, saluteth you, always laboring fervently for you in prayers, that ye may stand perfect and complete in all the will of God.
13 For I bear him record that he hath a great zeal for you and for those who are in Laodicea and those in Hierapolis.
14 Luke, the beloved physician, and Demas greet you.
15 Salute the brethren who are in Laodicea, and Nymphas and the church which is in his house.
16 And when this epistle is read among you, cause that it be read also in the church of the Laodiceans, and likewise read the epistle from Laodicea.
17 And say to Archippus, “Take heed to the ministry which thou hast received in the Lord, that thou fulfill it.”
18 The salutation by the hand of me, Paul. Remember my bonds. Grace be with you. Amen.
