Greek New Testament: Byzantine Text (Robinson–Pierpont 2018)
1Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, and Timothy our brother,
1παυλοσ αποστολοσ ιησου χριστου δια θεληματοσ θεου και τιμοθεοσ ο αδελφοσ
2To the saints and faithful brothers in Christ at Colossae: Grace and peace to you from God our Father.
2τοισ εν κολασσαισ αγιοισ και πιστοισ αδελφοισ εν χριστω χαρισ υμιν και ειρηνη απο θεου πατροσ ημων και κυριου ιησου χριστου
3We always thank God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, when we pray for you,
3ευχαριστουμεν τω θεω και πατρι του κυριου ημων ιησου χριστου παντοτε περι υμων προσευχομενοι
4because we have heard about your faith in Christ Jesus and your love for all the saints—
4ακουσαντεσ την πιστιν υμων εν χριστω ιησου και την αγαπην την εισ παντασ τουσ αγιουσ
5the faith and love proceeding from the hope stored up for you in heaven, of which you have already heard in the word of truth, the gospel
5δια την ελπιδα την αποκειμενην υμιν εν τοισ ουρανοισ ην προηκουσατε εν τω λογω τησ αληθειασ του ευαγγελιου
6that has come to you. All over the world this gospel is bearing fruit and growing, just as it has been doing among you since the day you heard it and truly understood the grace of God.
6του παροντοσ εισ υμασ καθωσ και εν παντι τω κοσμω και εστιν καρποφορουμενον και αυξανομενον καθωσ και εν υμιν αφ ησ ημερασ ηκουσατε και επεγνωτε την χαριν του θεου εν αληθεια
7You learned it from Epaphras, our beloved fellow servant, who is a faithful minister of Christ on our behalf,
7καθωσ και εμαθετε απο επαφρα του αγαπητου συνδουλου ημων οσ εστιν πιστοσ υπερ υμων διακονοσ του χριστου
8and who also informed us of your love in the Spirit.
8ο και δηλωσασ ημιν την υμων αγαπην εν πνευματι
9For this reason, since the day we heard about you, we have not stopped praying for you and asking God to fill you with the knowledge of His will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding,
9δια τουτο και ημεισ αφ ησ ημερασ ηκουσαμεν ου παυομεθα υπερ υμων προσευχομενοι και αιτουμενοι ινα πληρωθητε την επιγνωσιν του θεληματοσ αυτου εν παση σοφια και συνεσει πνευματικη
10so that you may walk in a manner worthy of the Lord and may please Him in every way: bearing fruit in every good work, growing in the knowledge of God,
10περιπατησαι υμασ αξιωσ του κυριου εισ πασαν αρεσκειαν εν παντι εργω αγαθω καρποφορουντεσ και αυξανομενοι εισ την επιγνωσιν του θεου
11being strengthened with all power according to His glorious might so that you may have full endurance and patience, and joyfully
11εν παση δυναμει δυναμουμενοι κατα το κρατοσ τησ δοξησ αυτου εισ πασαν υπομονην και μακροθυμιαν μετα χαρασ
12giving thanks to the Father, who has qualified you to share in the inheritance of the saints in the light.
12ευχαριστουντεσ τω πατρι τω ικανωσαντι ημασ εισ την μεριδα του κληρου των αγιων εν τω φωτι
13He has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of His beloved Son,
13οσ ερρυσατο ημασ εκ τησ εξουσιασ του σκοτουσ και μετεστησεν εισ την βασιλειαν του υιου τησ αγαπησ αυτου
14in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.
14εν ω εχομεν την απολυτρωσιν την αφεσιν των αμαρτιων
15The Son is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation.
15οσ εστιν εικων του θεου του αορατου πρωτοτοκοσ πασησ κτισεωσ
16For in Him all things were created, things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities. All things were created through Him and for Him.
16οτι εν αυτω εκτισθη τα παντα τα εν τοισ ουρανοισ και τα επι τησ γησ τα ορατα και τα αορατα ειτε θρονοι ειτε κυριοτητεσ ειτε αρχαι ειτε εξουσιαι τα παντα δι αυτου και εισ αυτον εκτισται
17He is before all things, and in Him all things hold together.
17και αυτοσ εστιν προ παντων και τα παντα εν αυτω συνεστηκεν
18And He is the head of the body, the church; He is the beginning and firstborn from among the dead, so that in all things He may have preeminence.
18και αυτοσ εστιν η κεφαλη του σωματοσ τησ εκκλησιασ οσ εστιν αρχη πρωτοτοκοσ εκ των νεκρων ινα γενηται εν πασιν αυτοσ πρωτευων
19For God was pleased to have all His fullness dwell in Him,
19οτι εν αυτω ευδοκησεν παν το πληρωμα κατοικησαι
20and through Him to reconcile to Himself all things, whether things on earth or things in heaven, by making peace through the blood of His cross.
20και δι αυτου αποκαταλλαξαι τα παντα εισ αυτον ειρηνοποιησασ δια του αιματοσ του σταυρου αυτου δι αυτου ειτε τα επι τησ γησ ειτε τα επι τοισ ουρανοισ
21Once you were alienated from God and were hostile in your minds, engaging in evil deeds.
21και υμασ ποτε οντασ απηλλοτριωμενουσ και εχθρουσ τη διανοια εν τοισ εργοισ τοισ πονηροισ νυνι δε αποκατηλλαξεν
22But now He has reconciled you by Christ’s physical body through death to present you holy, unblemished, and blameless in His presence—
22εν τω σωματι τησ σαρκοσ αυτου δια του θανατου παραστησαι υμασ αγιουσ και αμωμουσ και ανεγκλητουσ κατενωπιον αυτου
23if indeed you continue in your faith, established and firm, not moved from the hope of the gospel you heard, which has been proclaimed to every creature under heaven, and of which I, Paul, have become a servant.
23ειγε επιμενετε τη πιστει τεθεμελιωμενοι και εδραιοι και μη μετακινουμενοι απο τησ ελπιδοσ του ευαγγελιου ου ηκουσατε του κηρυχθεντοσ εν παση τη κτισει τη υπο τον ουρανον ου εγενομην εγω παυλοσ διακονοσ
24Now I rejoice in my sufferings for you, and I fill up in my flesh what is lacking in regard to Christ’s afflictions for the sake of His body, which is the church.
24νυν χαιρω εν τοισ παθημασιν υπερ υμων και ανταναπληρω τα υστερηματα των θλιψεων του χριστου εν τη σαρκι μου υπερ του σωματοσ αυτου ο εστιν η εκκλησια
25I became its servant by the commission God gave me to fully proclaim to you the word of God,
25ησ εγενομην εγω διακονοσ κατα την οικονομιαν του θεου την δοθεισαν μοι εισ υμασ πληρωσαι τον λογον του θεου
26the mystery that was hidden for ages and generations but is now revealed to His saints.
26το μυστηριον το αποκεκρυμμενον απο των αιωνων και απο των γενεων νυνι δε εφανερωθη τοισ αγιοισ αυτου
27To them God has chosen to make known among the Gentiles the glorious riches of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.
27οισ ηθελησεν ο θεοσ γνωρισαι τι το πλουτοσ τησ δοξησ του μυστηριου τουτου εν τοισ εθνεσιν οσ εστιν χριστοσ εν υμιν η ελπισ τησ δοξησ
28We proclaim Him, admonishing and teaching everyone with all wisdom, so that we may present everyone perfect in Christ.
28ον ημεισ καταγγελλομεν νουθετουντεσ παντα ανθρωπον και διδασκοντεσ παντα ανθρωπον εν παση σοφια ινα παραστησωμεν παντα ανθρωπον τελειον εν χριστω ιησου
29To this end I also labor, striving with all His energy working powerfully within me.
29εισ ο και κοπιω αγωνιζομενοσ κατα την ενεργειαν αυτου την ενεργουμενην εν εμοι εν δυναμει
