歌羅西書 4

Chinese Union Version Modern Punctuation (Traditional)

4 你們做主人的，要公公平平地待僕人，因為知道你們也有一位主在天上。

應當恆切禱告警醒感恩

²你們要恆切禱告，在此警醒、感恩。 ³也要為我們禱告，求神給我們開傳道的門，能以講基督的奧祕——我為此被捆鎖—— ⁴叫我按著所該說的話將這奧祕發明出來。

當用智慧與外人交往

⁵你們要愛惜光陰，用智慧與外人交往。 ⁶你們的言語要常常帶著和氣，好像用鹽調和，就可知道該怎樣回答各人。

⁷有我親愛的兄弟推基古要將我一切的事都告訴你們。他是忠心的執事，和我一同做主的僕人。 ⁸我特意打發他到你們那裡去，好叫你們知道我們的光景，又叫他安慰你們的心。 ⁹我又打發一位親愛忠心的兄弟阿尼西慕同去，他也是你們那裡的人。他們要把這裡一切的事都告訴你們。

¹⁰與我一同坐監的亞里達古問你們安。巴拿巴的表弟馬可也問你們安。說到這馬可，你們已經受了吩咐，他若到了你們那裡，你們就接待他。 ¹¹耶數，又稱為猶士都，也問你們安。奉割禮的人中，只有這三個人是為神的國與我一同做工的，也是叫我心裡得安慰的。 ¹²有你們那裡的人，做基督耶穌僕人的以巴弗問你們安。他在禱告之間，常為你們竭力地祈求，願你們在神一切的旨意上得以完全，信心充足，能站立得穩。 ¹³他為你們和老底嘉並希拉波立的弟兄多多地勞苦，這是我可以給他作見證的。 ¹⁴所親愛的醫生路加和底馬問你們安。 ¹⁵請問老底嘉的弟兄和寧法，並她家裡的教會安。 ¹⁶你們念了這書信，便交給老底嘉的教會，叫他們也念；你們也要念從老底嘉來的書信。 ¹⁷要對亞基布說：「務要謹慎，盡你從主所受的職分。」

¹⁸我保羅親筆問你們安。你們要記念我的捆鎖！願恩惠常與你們同在！

Colossians 4

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, ⁴that 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. ⁶Let 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, ⁹with ^(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), ¹¹and 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. ¹³For 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. ¹⁵Greet the brethren who are in Laodicea, and ^[e]Nymphas and ^(Y)the church that is in ^[f]his house.

Closing Exhortations and Blessing

¹⁶Now 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. ¹⁷And 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.
