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！

Colossians 4

English Standard Version

4 Masters, treat your bondservants^[a] justly and fairly, knowing that you also have a Master in heaven.

Further Instructions

²^(A)Continue steadfastly in prayer, being watchful in it ^(B)with thanksgiving. ³At the same time, pray also for us, that God may ^(C)open to us a door for the word, ^(D)to declare the mystery of Christ, ^(E)on account of which I am in prison— ⁴that I may make it clear, which is how I ought to speak.

⁵^(F)Walk in wisdom toward ^(G)outsiders, making the best use of the time. ⁶Let your speech always ^(H)be gracious, ^(I)seasoned with salt, ^(J)so that you may know how you ought to answer each person.

Final Greetings

⁷Tychicus will tell you ^(K)all about my activities. He is a beloved brother and faithful minister and fellow servant^[b] in the Lord. ⁸I have sent him to you for this very purpose, that you may know how we are and that he may encourage your hearts, ⁹and with him ^(L)Onesimus, our faithful and ^(M)beloved brother, who is one of you. They will tell you of everything that has taken place here.

¹⁰^(N)Aristarchus my fellow prisoner greets you, and Mark ^(O)the cousin of Barnabas (concerning whom you have received instructions—^(P)if he comes to you, welcome him), ¹¹and Jesus who is called ^(Q)Justus. ^(R)These are the only men of the circumcision among my fellow workers for the kingdom of God, and ^(S)they have been a comfort to me. ¹²^(T)Epaphras, who is one of you, a servant of Christ Jesus, greets you, always ^(U)struggling on your behalf in his prayers, that you may stand ^(V)mature and fully assured in all the will of God. ¹³For I bear him witness that he has worked hard for you and for those in Laodicea and in Hierapolis. ¹⁴^(W)Luke the beloved physician greets you, as does ^(X)Demas. ¹⁵Give my greetings to the brothers^[c] at Laodicea, and to Nympha and ^(Y)the church in her house. ¹⁶And when ^(Z)this letter has been read among you, have it also read in the church of the Laodiceans; and see that you also read the letter from Laodicea. ¹⁷And say to ^(AA)Archippus, “See that you fulfill ^(AB)the ministry that you have received in the Lord.”

¹⁸I, Paul, ^(AC)write this greeting with my own hand. ^(AD)Remember ^(AE)my chains. ^(AF)Grace be with you.
