Colossians 1
New King James Version
Greeting
1 Paul, (A)an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and Timothy our brother,
2 To the saints (B)and faithful brethren in Christ who are in Colosse:
(C)Grace to you and peace from God our Father [a]and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Their Faith in Christ
3 (D)We give thanks to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, praying always for you, 4 (E)since we heard of your faith in Christ Jesus and of (F)your love for all the saints; 5 because of the hope (G)which is laid up for you in heaven, of which you heard before in the word of the truth of the gospel, 6 which has come to you, (H)as it has also in all the world, and (I)is bringing forth [b]fruit, as it is also among you since the day you heard and knew (J)the grace of God in truth; 7 as you also learned from (K)Epaphras, our dear fellow servant, who is (L)a faithful minister of Christ on your behalf, 8 who also declared to us your (M)love in the Spirit.
Preeminence of Christ
9 (N)For this reason we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to ask (O)that you may be filled with (P)the knowledge of His will (Q)in all wisdom and spiritual understanding; 10 (R)that you may walk worthy of the Lord, (S)fully pleasing Him, (T)being fruitful in every good work and increasing in the (U)knowledge of God; 11 (V)strengthened with all might, according to His glorious power, (W)for all patience and longsuffering (X)with joy; 12 (Y)giving thanks to the Father who has qualified us to be partakers of (Z)the inheritance of the saints in the light. 13 He has delivered us from (AA)the power of darkness (AB)and [c]conveyed us into the kingdom of the Son of His love, 14 (AC)in whom we have redemption [d]through His blood, the forgiveness of sins.
15 He is (AD)the image of the invisible God, (AE)the firstborn over all creation. 16 For (AF)by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or (AG)dominions or [e]principalities or [f]powers. All things were created (AH)through Him and for Him. 17 (AI)And He is before all things, and in Him (AJ)all things consist. 18 And (AK)He is the head of the body, the church, who is the beginning, (AL)the firstborn from the dead, that in all things He may have the preeminence.
Reconciled in Christ
19 For it pleased the Father that (AM)in Him all the fullness should dwell, 20 and (AN)by Him to reconcile (AO)all things to Himself, by Him, whether things on earth or things in heaven, (AP)having made peace through the blood of His cross.
21 And you, (AQ)who once were alienated and enemies in your mind (AR)by wicked works, yet now He has (AS)reconciled 22 (AT)in the body of His flesh through death, (AU)to present you holy, and blameless, and above reproach in His sight— 23 if indeed you continue (AV)in the faith, grounded and steadfast, and are (AW)not moved away from the hope of the gospel which you heard, (AX)which was preached to every creature under heaven, (AY)of which I, Paul, became a minister.
Sacrificial Service for Christ
24 (AZ)I now rejoice in my sufferings (BA)for you, and fill up in my flesh (BB)what is lacking in the afflictions of Christ, for (BC)the sake of His body, which is the church, 25 of which I became a minister according to (BD)the [g]stewardship from God which was given to me for you, to fulfill the word of God, 26 (BE)the [h]mystery which has been hidden from ages and from generations, (BF)but now has been revealed to His saints. 27 (BG)To them God willed to make known what are (BH)the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles: [i]which is (BI)Christ in you, (BJ)the hope of glory. 28 Him we preach, (BK)warning every man and teaching every man in all wisdom, (BL)that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus. 29 To this end I also labor, striving according to His working which works in me (BM)mightily.

Greeting
1 Paul, (A)an apostle of Christ Jesus (B)by the will of God, and Timothy (C)our brother,
2 To the (D)saints and faithful brothers[a] in Christ at Colossae:
(E)Grace to you and peace from God our Father.
Thanksgiving and Prayer
3 (F)We always thank God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, when we pray for you, 4 since we heard of (G)your faith in Christ Jesus and of (H)the love that you have for all the saints, 5 because of (I)the hope (J)laid up for you in heaven. Of this you have heard before in (K)the word of the truth, the gospel, 6 which has come to you, as indeed (L)in the whole world it is (M)bearing fruit and increasing—as it also does among you, since the day you (N)heard it and understood (O)the grace of God in truth, 7 just as you learned it from (P)Epaphras our beloved (Q)fellow servant.[b] He is (R)a faithful minister of Christ on your[c] behalf 8 and has made known to us your (S)love in the Spirit.
9 And so, (T)from the day we heard, (U)we have not ceased to pray for you, asking that (V)you may be filled with the knowledge of his will in all (W)spiritual wisdom and understanding, 10 so as (X)to walk in a manner worthy of the Lord, (Y)fully pleasing to him: (Z)bearing fruit in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God; 11 (AA)being strengthened with all power, according to his glorious might, for (AB)all endurance and patience (AC)with joy; 12 (AD)giving thanks[d] to the Father, who has qualified you[e] to share in (AE)the inheritance of the saints in light. 13 He (AF)has delivered us from (AG)the domain of darkness and transferred us to (AH)the kingdom of (AI)his beloved Son, 14 (AJ)in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.
The Preeminence of Christ
15 (AK)He is the image of (AL)the invisible God, (AM)the firstborn of all creation. 16 For by[f] him all things were created, (AN)in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether (AO)thrones or (AP)dominions or rulers or authorities—all things were created (AQ)through him and for him. 17 And (AR)he is before all things, and in him all things (AS)hold together. 18 And (AT)he is the head of the body, the church. He is (AU)the beginning, (AV)the firstborn from the dead, that in everything he might be preeminent. 19 For (AW)in him all the (AX)fullness of God was pleased to dwell, 20 and (AY)through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether on earth or in heaven, (AZ)making peace (BA)by the blood of his cross.
21 (BB)And you, who once were alienated and hostile in mind, (BC)doing evil deeds, 22 he has now reconciled (BD)in his body of flesh by his death, (BE)in order to present you holy and blameless and (BF)above reproach before him, 23 (BG)if indeed you continue in the faith, (BH)stable and steadfast, not shifting from (BI)the hope of the gospel that you heard, which has been proclaimed (BJ)in all creation[g] under heaven, (BK)and of which I, Paul, became a minister.
Paul's Ministry to the Church
24 Now (BL)I rejoice in my sufferings for your sake, and in my flesh (BM)I am filling up (BN)what is lacking in Christ's afflictions (BO)for the sake of his body, that is, the church, 25 (BP)of which I became a minister according to (BQ)the stewardship from God that was given to me for you, to make the word of God fully known, 26 (BR)the mystery hidden for ages and generations but now revealed to his saints. 27 (BS)To them God chose to make known how great among the Gentiles are (BT)the riches of the glory of (BU)this mystery, which is Christ in you, (BV)the hope of glory. 28 Him we proclaim, warning everyone and teaching everyone with all wisdom, that (BW)we may present everyone (BX)mature in Christ. 29 For this (BY)I toil, (BZ)struggling (CA)with all his energy that he powerfully works within me.

歌羅西書 1
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Traditional)
1 我是奉上帝旨意作基督耶穌使徒的保羅， 2 和提摩太弟兄寫信給歌羅西的聖徒，就是忠於基督的弟兄姊妹。
願我們的父上帝賜給你們恩典和平安！
感恩與禱告
3-4 我們聽說了你們對基督耶穌的信心和對眾聖徒的愛心，為你們禱告的時候，常常感謝我們主耶穌基督的父上帝。 5 你們能有這樣的信心和愛心是因為那給你們存在天上的盼望，就是你們從前從福音真道中聽到的盼望。 6 這福音不但傳到了你們那裡，也傳到了世界各地，並且開花結果，信主的人數不斷增長，正如你們當初聽了福音，因為明白真理而認識上帝的恩典後的情形。 7 這福音是你們從我們親愛的同工以巴弗那裡得知的。他代表我們[a]作基督的忠僕， 8 並把聖靈賜給你們的愛心告訴了我們。
9 因此，從聽到你們的消息那天起，我們便不斷地為你們禱告，求上帝使你們在一切屬靈的智慧和悟性上完全明白祂的旨意， 10 以便你們行事為人對得起主，凡事蒙祂喜悅，在一切良善的事上結出果實，對上帝的認識不斷增加。 11 願上帝以祂榮耀的權能使你們剛強，無論遇到什麼事都能長久忍耐， 12 歡喜地感謝天父，因祂使你們有資格跟眾聖徒在光明中同享基業。 13 祂把我們從黑暗的權勢下拯救出來，帶進祂愛子的國度裡。 14 我們藉著祂的愛子蒙救贖，罪過得到赦免。
基督超越一切
15 基督是那不能看見之上帝的真像，超越[b]一切受造之物。 16 因為萬物都是藉著祂創造的，天上的、地上的、有形的、無形的、作王的、統治的、執政的、掌權的，一切都是藉著祂也是為了祂而創造的。 17 祂存在於萬物之前，萬物都靠祂而維繫。 18 祂是教會的頭，教會是祂的身體；祂是源頭，是首先從死裡復活的，這樣祂可以在一切事上居首位。 19 因為上帝樂意讓一切的豐盛住在祂裡面， 20 又藉著祂在十字架上所流的血成就了和平，使天地萬物藉著祂與上帝和好。
21 你們從前與上帝隔絕，行事邪惡，心思意念與祂為敵； 22 但現在上帝藉著基督肉身的死使你們與祂和好了，讓你們在祂面前成為聖潔無瑕、無可指責的人。 23 只是你們必須恆心持守所信的道，根基穩固，堅定不移，不要失去你們聽到福音後所得到的盼望。這福音傳給了天下萬民。我保羅也作了這福音的使者。
保羅為教會受苦
24 現在我因能夠為你們受苦而歡喜，並且我是為基督的身體——教會的緣故，在自己身上補滿基督未受的苦難。 25 我受上帝的委派成為教會的僕人，要把上帝的道完整地傳給你們。 26 這道是歷世歷代一直隱藏的奧祕，現在已經向祂的眾聖徒顯明了。 27 上帝要他們知道這奧祕在外族人中有何等豐富的榮耀，這奧祕就是基督在你們裡面，使你們有榮耀的盼望。 28 我們傳揚基督，用各樣的智慧勸誡、教導眾人，使他們在基督裡長大成熟，好把他們帶到上帝面前。 29 為此，我按著祂在我身上運行的大能盡心竭力，不辭勞苦。
Colosas 1
Ang Salita ng Diyos
1 Akong si Pablo ay apostol ni Jesucristo sa pamamagitan ng kalooban ng Diyos at ang ating kapatid na si Timoteo. 2 Ako ay sumusulat sa mga banal at mga tapat na kapatid kay Cristo na nasa Colosas.
Sumainyo ang biyaya at kapayapaang mula sa Diyos na ating Ama at mula sa Panginoong Jesucristo.
Pasasalamat at Pananalangin
3 Nagpapasalamat kami sa Diyos at Ama ng ating Panginoong Jesucristo. Kayo ay patuloy naming idinadalangin.
4 Nagpapasalamat kami sa Diyos sapagkat nabalitaan namin ang inyong pananampalataya kay Cristo Jesus at ang patungkol sa pag-ibig ninyo sa lahat ng mga banal. 5 Ang pananampalataya at pag-ibig na ito ay dahil sa pag-asang nakalaan para sa inyo sa kalangitan, na una ninyong narinig sa salita ng katotohanan ng ebanghelyo. 6 Dumating ito sa inyo, tulad ng pagdating nito sa buong sanlibutan. Ito ay nagbubunga gaya rin naman ng pagbubunga sa inyo mula nang araw na inyong marinig at malaman ang biyaya ng Diyos sa katotohanan. 7 Ito ay katulad ng natutunan ninyo kay Epafras, ang minamahal naming kapwa-alipin, na tapat na tagapaglingkod ni Cristo para sa inyo. 8 Siya rin ang nagsabi sa amin sa pamamagitan ng Espiritu patungkol sa inyong pag-ibig.
9 Dahil din naman dito, mula nang araw na marinig namin ito, wala na kaming tigil sa pananalangin para sa inyo. Hinihiling namin na kayo ay mapuspos ng kaalaman ng kaniyang kalooban, sa buong karunungan at espiritwal na pagkaunawa. 10 Ito ay upang mamuhay kayong karapat-dapat sa Panginoon sa buong kaluguran, at upang kayo ay mamunga sa bawat gawang mabuti at lumalago sa kaalaman ng Diyos. 11 At upang kayo ay lumakas sa kapangyarihan ayon sa kapangyarihan ng kaniyang kaluwalhatian sa buong pagtitiis at pagtitiyaga na may kagalakan. 12 Magpasalamat kayo sa Ama na nagpaging-dapat sa atin na maging kabahagi ng mana ng mga banal sa kaliwanagan. 13 Siya ang nagligtas sa atin mula sa kapamahalaan ng kadiliman at inilipat tayo sa kaharian ng kaniyang pinakamamahal na Anak. 14 Sa kaniya ay mayroon tayong katubusan sa pamamagitan ng kaniyang dugo, ang kapatawaran ng mga kasalanan.
Si Cristo ang Pangulo ng Lahat ng Bagay
15 Siya ang wangis ng Diyos na hindi nakikita, ang panganay na pinakahigit sa buong sangnilikha.
16 Ito ay sapagkat sa pamamagitan niya, nilalang ang lahat ng mga bagay na nasa langit at mga bagay na nasa lupa, mga bagay na nakikita o hindi nakikita. Ito man ay mga luklukan, o mga paghahari, o mga pamunuan, o mga pamamahala. Ang lahat ng bagay ay nilalang sa pamamagitan niya at para sa kaniya. 17 At siya ay nauna sa lahat ng bagay at sa pamamagitan niya ay nananatiling buo ang lahat ng mga bagay. 18 At siya ang ulo ng katawan, ang iglesiya. Siya ang pasimula, ang panganay mula sa mga patay upang siya ang maging kataas-taasan sa lahatng bagay. 19 Ikinalugod ng Ama na ang buong kapuspusanay manahan sa kaniya. 20 Nagdala siya ng kapayapaan sa pamamagitan ng dugo na nabuhos sa krus. Sa pamamagitan niya ikinalugod ng Ama na ipagkasundo sa kaniyang sarili ang lahat ng mga bagay sa lupa, o sa lahat ng mga bagay sa langit.
21 At kayo na dating banyaga at mga kaaway ng Diyos dahil sa inyong pag-iisip at dahil sa inyong masasamang gawa ay ipinagkasundo ngayon. 22 Ito ay sa katawan ng kaniyang laman sa pamamagitan ngkaniyang kamatayan upang kayo ay maiharap na banal at walang kapintasan at walang maipaparatang sa kaniyang paningin. 23 Ito ay kung manatili kayo sa pananampalataya na matatag at matibay at hindi malilipat mulasa pag-asa ng ebanghelyo na inyong narinig at ito ang ipinangaral sa bawat nilalang na nasa silong ng langit. Akong si Pablo ay ginawang tagapaglingkod ng ebanghelyong ito.
Ang Pagpapagal ni Pablo Para sa Iglesiya
24 Ako ngayon ay nagagalak sa aking mga paghihirap alang-alang sa inyo. Pinupunuan ko sa aking katawan ang mga kakulangan ng mga paghihirap niCristo para sa kapakanan ng kaniyang katawan, ang iglesiya.
25 Dahil dito naging tagapaglingkod ako ayon sa pangangasiwa na mula sa Diyos, na ibinigay sa akin para sa inyong kapakinabangan upang ganapin ko ang Salita ng Diyos. 26 Ito ang hiwagang inilihim mula pa sa nakaraang kapanahunan at mula sa mga lahing nakaraan, ngunit ngayon ay ipinahayag sa kaniyang mga banal. 27 Sa kanila ay ipinasya ng Diyos na ipakilala ang kayamanan ng kaluwalhatian ng hiwagang ito sa mga Gentil. Ito ay si Cristo na sumasainyo, ang pag-asa sa kaluwalhatian.
28 Siya ang aming ipinahahayag. Binibigyan namin ng babalaat tinuturuan ang bawat tao ng lahat ng karunungan, upang maiharap naming sakdal ang bawat tao kay Cristo Jesus. 29 Dahil dito, nagpapagal din naman ako at nagsisikap ayon sa kaniyang paggawa na gumagawang may kapangyarihan sa akin.
