Greek New Testament: Byzantine Text (Robinson–Pierpont 2018)
1Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus through 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 to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
2τοισ εν κολασσαισ αγιοισ και πιστοισ αδελφοισ εν χριστω χαρισ υμιν και ειρηνη απο θεου πατροσ ημων και κυριου ιησου χριστου
3We give thanks to God the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, praying always for you,
3ευχαριστουμεν τω θεω και πατρι του κυριου ημων ιησου χριστου παντοτε περι υμων προσευχομενοι
4having heard of your faith in Christ Jesus and of the love which you have toward all the saints,
4ακουσαντεσ την πιστιν υμων εν χριστω ιησου και την αγαπην την εισ παντασ τουσ αγιουσ
5because of the hope which is laid up for you in the heavens, of which you heard before in the word of the truth of the Good News
5δια την ελπιδα την αποκειμενην υμιν εν τοισ ουρανοισ ην προηκουσατε εν τω λογω τησ αληθειασ του ευαγγελιου
6which has come to you, even as it is in all the world and is bearing fruit and growing, as it does in you also, since the day you heard and knew the grace of God in truth,
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
7even as you learned from Epaphras our beloved fellow servant, who is a faithful servant of Christ on your behalf,
7καθωσ και εμαθετε απο επαφρα του αγαπητου συνδουλου ημων οσ εστιν πιστοσ υπερ υμων διακονοσ του χριστου
8who also declared to us your love in the Spirit.
8ο και δηλωσασ ημιν την υμων αγαπην εν πνευματι
9For this cause, we also, since the day we heard this, don’t cease praying and making requests for you, that you may be filled 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
10that you may walk worthily of the Lord, to please him in all respects, bearing fruit in every good work and increasing 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
11strengthened with all power, according to the might of his glory, for all endurance and perseverance with joy,
11εν παση δυναμει δυναμουμενοι κατα το κρατοσ τησ δοξησ αυτου εισ πασαν υπομονην και μακροθυμιαν μετα χαρασ
12giving thanks to the Father, who made us fit to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light,
12ευχαριστουντεσ τω πατρι τω ικανωσαντι ημασ εισ την μεριδα του κληρου των αγιων εν τω φωτι
13who delivered us out of the power of darkness, and translated us into the Kingdom of the Son of his love,
13οσ ερρυσατο ημασ εκ τησ εξουσιασ του σκοτουσ και μετεστησεν εισ την βασιλειαν του υιου τησ αγαπησ αυτου
14in whom we have our redemption, the forgiveness of our sins.
14εν ω εχομεν την απολυτρωσιν την αφεσιν των αμαρτιων
15He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation.
15οσ εστιν εικων του θεου του αορατου πρωτοτοκοσ πασησ κτισεωσ
16For by him all things were created in the heavens and on the earth, visible things and invisible things, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things have been 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 are held together.
17και αυτοσ εστιν προ παντων και τα παντα εν αυτω συνεστηκεν
18He is the head of the body, the assembly, who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in all things he might have the preeminence.
18και αυτοσ εστιν η κεφαλη του σωματοσ τησ εκκλησιασ οσ εστιν αρχη πρωτοτοκοσ εκ των νεκρων ινα γενηται εν πασιν αυτοσ πρωτευων
19For all the fullness was pleased to dwell in him,
19οτι εν αυτω ευδοκησεν παν το πληρωμα κατοικησαι
20and through him to reconcile all things to himself by him, whether things on the earth or things in the heavens, having made 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
21You, being in past times alienated and enemies in your mind in your evil deeds,
21και υμασ ποτε οντασ απηλλοτριωμενουσ και εχθρουσ τη διανοια εν τοισ εργοισ τοισ πονηροισ νυνι δε αποκατηλλαξεν
22yet now he has reconciled in the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and without defect and blameless before him,
22εν τω σωματι τησ σαρκοσ αυτου δια του θανατου παραστησαι υμασ αγιουσ και αμωμουσ και ανεγκλητουσ κατενωπιον αυτου
23if it is so that you continue in the faith, grounded and steadfast, and not moved away from the hope of the Good News which you heard, which was proclaimed in all creation under heaven, of which I, Paul, was made 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 your sake, and fill up on my part that which is lacking of the afflictions of Christ in my flesh for his body’s sake, which is the assembly,
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
25of which I was made a servant according to the stewardship of God which was given me toward you to fulfill 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 which has been hidden for ages and generations. But now it has been revealed to his saints,
26το μυστηριον το αποκεκρυμμενον απο των αιωνων και απο των γενεων νυνι δε εφανερωθη τοισ αγιοισ αυτου
27to whom God was pleased to make known what are the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles, 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 every man and teaching every man in all wisdom, that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus;
28ον ημεισ καταγγελλομεν νουθετουντεσ παντα ανθρωπον και διδασκοντεσ παντα ανθρωπον εν παση σοφια ινα παραστησωμεν παντα ανθρωπον τελειον εν χριστω ιησου
29for which I also labor, striving according to his working, which works in me mightily.
29εισ ο και κοπιω αγωνιζομενοσ κατα την ενεργειαν αυτου την ενεργουμενην εν εμοι εν δυναμει
