Colosas 4
Magandang Balita Biblia
4 Mga(A) amo, maging mabuti kayo at makatarungan sa mga naglilingkod sa inyo. Alalahanin ninyong kayo man ay may Panginoon sa langit.
Mga Tagubilin
2 Maging matiyaga kayo sa pananalangin, laging handa at nagpapasalamat sa Diyos. 3 Idalangin ninyo sa Diyos na bigyan kami ng pagkakataon na maipangaral ang kanyang salita at maipahayag ang hiwaga ni Cristo, ang sanhi ng pagkabilanggo ko ngayon. 4 Ipanalangin din ninyong maipahayag ko ito nang buong linaw, gaya ng nararapat.
5 Maging(B) matalino kayo sa pakikitungo sa mga hindi nananampalataya at samantalahin ninyo ang bawat pagkakataon. 6 Sikapin(C) ninyong laging maging kaaya-aya at kapaki-pakinabang ang inyong pananalita sa kanila, at matuto kayong sumagot nang tama sa lahat ng tao.
Pangwakas na Pagbati
7 Si(D)(E) Tiquico ang magbabalita sa inyo tungkol sa kalagayan ko rito. Siya ay minamahal naming kapatid, tapat na lingkod at kamanggagawa sa Panginoon. 8 Pinapunta ko siya riyan para malaman ninyo ang aming kalagayan, nang sa gayon ay lumakas ang inyong loob. 9 Kasama(F) niya ang tapat at minamahal nating kapatid na si Onesimo, na kasamahan ninyo. Sila ang magbabalita sa inyo ng lahat ng nangyari dito.
10 Kinukumusta(G) kayo ni Aristarco, na bilanggo ring kasama ko, at ni Marcos na pinsan ni Bernabe. Tungkol naman kay Marcos, mayroon nang bilin sa inyo na malugod ninyo siyang tanggapin pagdating niya riyan. 11 Kinukumusta rin kayo ni Jesus na kilala rin sa pangalang Justo. Silang tatlo lamang ang mga mananampalatayang Judio na kasama ko rito sa pangangaral tungkol sa kaharian ng Diyos, at sila'y malaking tulong sa akin.
12 Kinukumusta(H) rin kayo ng kasamahan ninyong si Epafras, na lingkod ni Cristo Jesus. Lagi niyang idinadalangin nang buong taimtim na kayo'y maging matatag, ganap, at lubos na panatag sa kalooban ng Diyos. 13 Saksi ako sa pagsisikap niya para sa inyo at sa mga nasa Laodicea at Hierapolis. 14 Nangungumusta(I) rin sa inyo si Demas at ang minamahal nating manggagamot na si Lucas.
15 Ikumusta ninyo ako sa mga kapatid sa Laodicea, gayundin kay Nimfa at sa iglesyang nagtitipon sa kanyang bahay. 16 Pagkabasa ninyo ng sulat na ito, ipabasa rin ninyo ito sa iglesya sa Laodicea. Basahin din ninyo ang sulat kong manggagaling doon. 17 At(J) pakisabi ninyo kay Arquipo na tapusin ang gawaing tinanggap niya sa Panginoon.
18 Ako mismong si Pablo ang sumusulat ng pagbating ito. Huwag ninyong kalimutan na ako'y nakabilanggo.
Sumainyo nawa ang kagandahang-loob ng Diyos.
Colossenzen 4
BasisBijbel
Het nieuwe leven moet zichtbaar worden (vervolg)
4 Meesters, wees eerlijk tegen jullie slaven en behandel hen goed. Bedenk dat jullie zelf óók een Meester hebben, namelijk een Meester in de hemel.
Groeten
2 Blijf bidden. Houd daar nooit mee op. Dank God. 3 Bid ook voor ons. Bid dat God als het ware de deur voor ons open zet en ons mogelijkheden geeft om aan de mensen het goddelijke plan van Christus te kunnen vertellen, waarvoor ik nu in de gevangenis zit. 4 Als jullie voor mij bidden, zal ik het goede nieuws precies zó kunnen vertellen als God van mij vraagt.
5 Wees wijs ten opzichte van de mensen die niet bij de gemeente horen. Grijp elke kans om hun het goede nieuws te vertellen. 6 Alles wat jullie zeggen, moet altijd verstandig en wijs zijn. Zorg ervoor dat jullie altijd aan iedereen een goed antwoord kunnen geven.
7 Mijn vriend Tychikus zal jullie vertellen hoe het met mij gaat. Hij is mijn trouwe dienaar en medewerker in de Heer. 8 Ik heb hem gezegd dat hij jullie moet bezoeken. Dan kan hij zien hoe het met jullie gaat en kan hij jullie bemoedigen. 9 Hij komt samen met Onesimus, die bij jullie vandaan komt. Ook van hem houd ik erg veel. Tychikus en hij zullen jullie alles vertellen wat hier gebeurt.
10 Aristarchus, die samen met mij gevangen zit, doet jullie ook de groeten. Ook krijgen jullie de groeten van Markus, de neef van Barnabas. Ik had jullie al gezegd dat jullie hem gastvrij moeten ontvangen als hij bij jullie komt. 11 Ook Jezus Justus doet jullie de groeten. Deze drie broeders zijn hier mijn enige Joodse medewerkers. Zij werken samen met mij voor het Koninkrijk van God. Ze zijn voor mij een grote bemoediging geweest. 12 Epafras, die bij jullie vandaan komt, doet jullie de groeten. Ook hij is een dienaar van Jezus Christus. Hij bidt altijd vurig voor jullie dat jullie sterk en volwassen zullen worden in jullie geloof. Ook dat jullie in alles Gods wil zullen willen doen. 13 Ik weet dat hij heel hard voor jullie werkt, en ook voor de mensen die in Laodicea en in Hiërapolis wonen. 14 Ook mijn goede vriend dokter Lukas doet jullie de groeten, en Demas ook.
15 Doe de groeten aan de broeders en zusters in Laodicea. Doe ook de groeten aan Nymfas en de gemeente bij hem aan huis. 16 En als deze brief bij jullie is voorgelezen, moeten jullie ervoor zorgen dat hij ook wordt voorgelezen in de gemeente in Laodicea. En zorg ervoor dat jullie de brief te lezen krijgen die ik aan Laodicea heb geschreven. 17 Moedig Archippus aan om de taak die hij van de Heer heeft gekregen, ook helemaal te doen.
18 Ook ik, Paulus, schrijf jullie zelf een groet.[a] Denk aan mij hier in de gevangenis. Ik bid dat God in alles goed voor jullie zal zijn.

Colossians 4
New International Version
4 Masters, provide your slaves with what is right and fair,(A) because you know that you also have a Master in heaven.
Further Instructions
2 Devote yourselves to prayer,(B) being watchful and thankful. 3 And pray for us, too, that God may open a door(C) for our message, so that we may proclaim the mystery(D) of Christ, for which I am in chains.(E) 4 Pray that I may proclaim it clearly, as I should. 5 Be wise(F) in the way you act toward outsiders;(G) make the most of every opportunity.(H) 6 Let your conversation be always full of grace,(I) seasoned with salt,(J) so that you may know how to answer everyone.(K)
Final Greetings
7 Tychicus(L) will tell you all the news about me. He is a dear brother, a faithful minister and fellow servant[a](M) in the Lord. 8 I am sending him to you for the express purpose that you may know about our[b] circumstances and that he may encourage your hearts.(N) 9 He is coming with Onesimus,(O) our faithful and dear brother, who is one of you.(P) They will tell you everything that is happening here.
10 My fellow prisoner Aristarchus(Q) sends you his greetings, as does Mark,(R) the cousin of Barnabas.(S) (You have received instructions about him; if he comes to you, welcome him.) 11 Jesus, who is called Justus, also sends greetings. These are the only Jews[c] among my co-workers(T) for the kingdom of God, and they have proved a comfort to me. 12 Epaphras,(U) who is one of you(V) and a servant of Christ Jesus, sends greetings. He is always wrestling in prayer for you,(W) that you may stand firm in all the will of God, mature(X) and fully assured. 13 I vouch for him that he is working hard for you and for those at Laodicea(Y) and Hierapolis. 14 Our dear friend Luke,(Z) the doctor, and Demas(AA) send greetings. 15 Give my greetings to the brothers and sisters at Laodicea,(AB) and to Nympha and the church in her house.(AC)
16 After this letter has been read to you, see that it is also read(AD) in the church of the Laodiceans and that you in turn read the letter from Laodicea.
17 Tell Archippus:(AE) “See to it that you complete the ministry you have received in the Lord.”(AF)
18 I, Paul, write this greeting in my own hand.(AG) Remember(AH) my chains.(AI) Grace be with you.(AJ)

Colossians 4
King James Version
4 Masters, give unto your servants that which is just and equal; knowing that ye also have a Master in heaven.
2 Continue in prayer, and watch in the same with thanksgiving;
3 Withal 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 them that are without, 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 All my state shall Tychicus declare unto you, who is a beloved brother, and a faithful minister and fellowservant in the Lord:
8 Whom I have sent unto you for the same purpose, that he might know your estate, and comfort your hearts;
9 With 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 fellowprisoner saluteth you, and Marcus, sister's son to Barnabas, (touching whom ye received commandments: if he come unto you, receive him;)
11 And Jesus, which is called Justus, who are of the circumcision. These only are my fellowworkers unto the kingdom of God, which have been a comfort unto me.
12 Epaphras, who is one of you, a servant of Christ, saluteth you, always labouring 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 them that are in Laodicea, and them in Hierapolis.
14 Luke, the beloved physician, and Demas, greet you.
15 Salute the brethren which 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 that ye 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 fulfil it.
18 The salutation by the hand of me Paul. Remember my bonds. Grace be with you. Amen.
