| Revised Standard Version | Colossians:4 | Novum 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.4.2-6 | Τῇ 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 | Tych'icus will tell you all about my affairs; he is a beloved brother and faithful minister and fellow servant in the Lord. | Final Greetings Col.4.7-18 | Τὰ 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 Ones'imus, 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 | Aristar'chus 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 | Ep'aphras, 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 , 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 La-odice'a and in Hi-erap'olis. | 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 La-odice'a, 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 La-odice'ans; and see that you read also the letter from La-odice'a. | 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 Archip'pus, "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. | ||
