 katapi NEW STUDY BIBLEColossians:4Novum Testamentum Graece (UBS.Ed.26)  

1 Masters, treat your slaves justly and fairly, knowing that you also have a Master in heaven.  Οἱ κύριοι, τὸ δίκαιον καὶ τὴν ἰσότητα τοῖς δούλοις παρέχεσθε, εἰδότες ὅτι καὶ ὑμεῖς ἐχετε κύριον ἐν οὐρανῷ.
2 Continue steadfastly in prayer, being watchful in it with thanksgiving; Exhortations Col.4.2-6Τῇ προσευχῇ προσκαρτερεῖτε, γρηγοροῦντες ἐν αὐτῇ ἐν εὐχαριστίᾳ,
3 and pray for us also, that God may open to us a door for the word, to declare the mystery of Christ, on account of which I am in prison,  προσευχόμενοι ἀμα καὶ περὶ ἡμῶν, ἵνα ὁ θεὸς ἀνοίξῃ ἡμῖν θύραν τοῦ λόγου, λαλῆσαι τὸ μυστήριον τοῦ Χριστοῦ, δῖ ὃ καὶ δέδεμαι,
4 that I may make it clear, as I ought to speak.  ἵνα φανερώσω αὐτὸ ὡς δεῖ με λαλῆσαι.
5 Conduct yourselves wisely toward outsiders, making the most of the time.  Ἐν σοφίᾳ περιπατεῖτε πρὸς τοὺς ἐξω, τὸν καιρὸν ἐξαγοραζόμενοι.
6 Let your speech always be gracious, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how you ought to answer everyone.  ὁ λόγος ὑμῶν πάντοτε ἐν χάριτι, ἀλατι ἠρτυμένος, εἰδέναι πῶς δεῖ ὑμᾶς ἑνὶ ἑκάστῳ ἀποκρίνεσθαι.
7 Tychicus will tell you all about my affairs; he is a beloved brother and faithful minister and fellow servant in the Lord. Final Greetings Col.4.7-18Τὰ κατ' ἐμὲ πάντα γνωρίσει ὑμῖν Τυχικὸς ὁ ἀγαπητὸς ἀδελφὸς καὶ πιστὸς διάκονος καὶ σύνδουλος ἐν κυρίῳ,
8 I have sent him to you for this very purpose, that you may know how we are and that he may encourage your hearts,  ὃν ἐπεμψα πρὸς ὑμᾶς εἰς αὐτὸ τοῦτο, ἵνα γνῶτε τὰ περὶ ἡμῶν καὶ παρακαλέσῃ τὰς καρδίας ὑμῶν,
9 and with him Onesimus, the faithful and beloved brother, who is one of yourselves. They will tell you of everything that has taken place here.  σὺν Ὀνησίμῳ τῷ πιστῷ καὶ ἀγαπητῷ ἀδελφῷ, ὁς ἐστιν ἐξ ὑμῶν· πάντα ὑμῖν γνωρίσουσιν τὰ ὧδε.
10 Aristarchus my fellow prisoner greets you, and Mark the cousin of Barnabas ( concerning whom you have received instructions - if he comes to you, receive him),  Ἀσπάζεται ὑμᾶς Ἀρίσταρχος ὁ συναιχμάλωτός μου, καὶ Μᾶρκος ὁ ἀνεψιὸς Βαρναβᾶ (περὶ οὗ ἐλάβετε ἐντολάς, ἐὰν ἐλθῃ πρὸς ὑμᾶς δέξασθε αὐτόν),
11 and Jesus who is called Justus. These are the only men of the circumcision among my fellow workers for the kingdom of God, and they have been a comfort to me.  καὶ Ἰησοῦς ὁ λεγόμενος Ἰοῦστος, οἱ ὄντες ἐκ περιτομῆς οὗτοι μόνοι συνεργοὶ εἰς τὴν βασιλείαν τοῦ θεοῦ, οἱτινες ἐγενήθησάν μοι παρηγορία.
12 Epaphras, who is one of yourselves, a servant of Christ Jesus, greets you, always remembering you earnestly in his prayers, that you may stand mature and fully assured in all the will of God.  ἀσπάζεται ὑμᾶς Ἐπαφρᾶς ὁ ἐξ ὑμῶν, δοῦλος Χριστοῦ [Ἰησοῦ], πάντοτε ἀγωνιζόμενος ὑπὲρ ὑμῶν ἐν ταῖς προσευχαῖς, ἵνα σταθῆτε τέλειοι καὶ πεπληροφορημένοι ἐν παντὶ θελήματι το ῦ θεοῦ.
13 For I bear him witness that he has worked hard for you and for those in Laodicea and in Hierapolis.  μαρτυρῶ γὰρ αὐτῷ ὅτι ἐχει πολὺν πόνον ὑπὲρ ὑμῶν καὶ τῶν ἐν Λαοδικείᾳ καὶ τῶν ἐν Ἱεραπόλει.
14 Luke the beloved physician and Demas greet you.  ἀσπάζεται ὑμᾶς Λουκᾶς ὁ ἰατρὸς ὁ ἀγαπητὸς καὶ Δημᾶς.
15 Give my greetings to the brethren at Laodicea, and to Nympha and the church in her house.  Ἀσπάσασθε τοὺς ἐν Λαοδικείᾳ ἀδελφοὺς καὶ Νύμφαν καὶ τὴν κατ' οἶκον αὐτῆς ἐκκλησίαν.
16 And when this letter has been read among you, have it read also in the church of the Laodiceans; and see that you read also the letter from Laodicea.  καὶ ὁταν ἀναγνωσθῇ παρ' ὑμῖν ἡ ἐπιστολή, ποιήσατε ἵνα καὶ ἐν τῇ Λαοδικέων ἐκκλησίᾳ ἀναγνωσθῇ, καὶ τὴν ἐκ Λαοδικείας ἵνα καὶ ὑμεῖς ἀναγνῶτε.
17 And say to Archippus, "See that you fulfil the ministry which you have received in the Lord."  καὶ εἰπατε Ἀρχίππῳ, Βλέπε τὴν διακονίαν ἣν παρέλαβες ἐν κυρίῳ, ἵνα αὐτὴν πληροῖς.
18 I, Paul, write this greeting with my own hand. Remember my fetters. Grace be with you.  Ὁ ἀσπασμὸς τῇ ἐμῇ χειρὶ Παύλου.
μνημονεύετέ μου τῶν δεσμῶν.
ἡ χάρις μεθ' ὑμῶν.

Notes: This webpage enables you to select-a-version from the Bible versions held on the katapi bible database.
The katapi NEW STUDY BIBLE is a very light revision of the RSV. The changes are: (1) In places where 'the LORD', 'O LORD' occurs in the RSV, (it represents the tetragrammaton - YHWH - which is in the hebrew text), I have printed 'YHWH' in black. The later vowel sounds I have shown in the colour gray;
(2) I have removed the quotation marks and hyphens that were used in so many names in the RSV as an aid to correct pronunciation. This now brings it in line with all other English versions, and makes any word-search more accurate.
(3) I have changed all (I hope!) of the RSV archaic language sections to modern.

The katapi New Study Bible reference section displays links to parallel passages, and to direct quotations by New Testament authors to Old Testament passages. Quotations of OT passages by NT authors can in most cases be viewed within their context of the OT passage as a whole, with the quoted text displayed, against a subdued background.
