Colossians 1

Authored by: American Standard Version
1:1
Παυλος αποστολος Χριστου Ιησου δια θεληματος Θεου και Τιμοθεος ο αδελφος
Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus through the will of God, and Timothy our brother,
1:2
Τοις εν Κολοσσαις αγιοις και πιστοις αδελφοις εν Χριστω Χαρις υμιν και ειρηνη απο Θεου Πατρος ημων
to the saints and faithful brethren in Christ that are at Colossæ: Grace to you and peace from God our Father.
1:3
Ευχαριστουμεν τω Θεω Πατρι του Κυριου ημων Ιησου Χριστου παντοτε περι υμων προσευχομενοι
We give thanks to God the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, praying always for you,
1:4
ακουσαντες την πιστιν υμων εν Χριστω Ιησου και την αγαπην ην εχετε εις παντας τους αγιους
having heard of your faith in Christ Jesus, and of the love which ye have toward all the saints,
1:5
δια την ελπιδα την αποκειμενην υμιν εν τοις ουρανοις ην προηκουσατε εν τω λογω της αληθειας του ευαγγελιου
because of the hope which is laid up for you in the heavens, whereof ye heard before in the word of the truth of the gospel,
1:6
του παροντος εις υμας καθως και εν παντι τω κοσμω εστιν καρποφορουμενον και αυξανομενον καθως και εν υμιν αφ ης ημερας ηκουσατε και επεγνωτε την χαριν του Θεου εν αληθεια
which is come unto you; even as it is also in all the world bearing fruit and increasing, as it doth in you also, since the day ye heard and knew the grace of God in truth;
1:7
καθως εμαθετε απο Επαφρα του αγαπητου συνδουλου ημων ος εστιν πιστος υπερ ημων διακονος του Χριστου
even as ye learned of Epaphras our beloved fellow-servant, who is a faithful minister of Christ on our behalf,
1:8
ο και δηλωσας ημιν την υμων αγαπην εν Πνευματι
who also declared unto us your love in the Spirit.
1:9
Δια 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
For this cause we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray and make request for you, that ye may be filled with the knowledge of his will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding,
1:10
περιπατησαι αξιως του Κυριου εις πασαν αρεσκειαν εν παντι εργω αγαθω καρποφορουντες και αυξανομενοι τη επιγνωσει του Θεου
to walk worthily of the Lord unto all pleasing, bearing fruit in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God;
1:11
εν παση δυναμει δυναμουμενοι κατα το κρατος της δοξης αυτου εις πασαν υπομονην και μακροθυμιαν μετα χαρας
strengthened with all power, according to the might of his glory, unto all patience and longsuffering with joy;
1:12
ευχαριστουντες τω Πατρι τω ικανωσαντι υμας εις την μεριδα του κληρου των αγιων εν τω φωτι
giving thanks unto the Father, who made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light;
1:13
ος ερρυσατο ημας εκ της εξουσιας του σκοτους και μετεστησεν εις την βασιλειαν του Υιου της αγαπης αυτου
who delivered us out of the power of darkness, and translated us into the kingdom of the Son of his love;
1:14
εν ω εχομεν την απολυτρωσιν την αφεσιν των αμαρτιων
in whom we have our redemption, the forgiveness of our sins:
1:15
Ος εστιν εικων του Θεου του αορατου πρωτοτοκος πασης κτισεως
who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation;
1
1:16
οτι εν αυτω εκτισθη τα παντα εν τοις ουρανοις και επι της γης τα ορατα και τα αορατα ειτε θρονοι ειτε κυριοτητες ειτε αρχαι ειτε εξουσιαι τα παντα δι αυτου και εις αυτον εκτισται
for in him were all things created, in the heavens and upon the earth, things visible and things invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers; all things have been created through him, and unto him;
1:17
Και αυτος εστιν προ παντων και τα παντα εν αυτω συνεστηκεν
and he is before all things, and in him all things consist.
1:18
και αυτος εστιν η κεφαλη του σωματος της εκκλησιας ος εστιν αρχη πρωτοτοκος εκ των νεκρων ινα γενηται εν πασιν αυτος πρωτευων
And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence.
1:19
οτι εν αυτω ευδοκησεν παν το πληρωμα κατοικησαι
For it was the good pleasure of the Father that in him should all the fulness dwell;
1:20
και δι αυτου αποκαταλλαξαι τα παντα εις αυτον ειρηνοποιησας δια του αιματος του σταυρου αυτου δι αυτου ειτε τα επι της γης ειτε τα εν τοις ουρανοις
and through him to reconcile all things unto himself, having made peace through the blood of his cross; through him, I say, whether things upon the earth, or things in the heavens.
1:21
Και υμας ποτε οντας απηλλοτριωμενους και εχθρους τη διανοια εν τοις εργοις τοις πονηροις
And you, being in time past alienated and enemies in your mind in your evil works,
1:22
νυνι δε αποκατηλλαξεν εν τω σωματι της σαρκος αυτου δια του θανατου παραστησαι υμας αγιους και αμωμους και ανεγκλητους κατενωπιον αυτου
yet now hath he reconciled in the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and without blemish and unreproveable before him:
1:23
ει γε επιμενετε τη πιστει τεθεμελιωμενοι και εδραιοι και μη μετακινουμενοι απο της ελπιδος του ευαγγελιου ου ηκουσατε του κηρυχθεντος εν παση κτισει τη υπο τον ουρανον ου εγενομην εγω Παυλος διακονος
if so be that ye continue in the faith, grounded and stedfast, and not moved away from the hope of the gospel which ye heard, which was preached in all creation under heaven; whereof I Paul was made a minister.
1:24
Νυν 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
Now 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 church;
1:25
ης εγενομην εγω διακονος κατα την οικονομιαν του Θεου την δοθεισαν μοι εις υμας πληρωσαι τον λογον του Θεου
whereof I was made a minister, according to the dispensation of God which was given me to you-ward, to fulfil the word of God,
1:26
το μυστηριον το αποκεκρυμμενον απο των αιωνων και απο των γενεων νυν δε εφανερωθη τοις αγιοις αυτου
even the mystery which hath been hid for ages and generations: but now hath it been manifested to his saints,
1:27
οις ηθελησεν ο Θεος γνωρισαι τι το πλουτος της δοξης του μυστηριου τουτου εν τοις εθνεσιν ο εστιν Χριστος εν υμιν η ελπις της δοξης
to whom God was pleased to make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:
1:28
ον ημεις καταγγελλομεν νουθετουντες παντα ανθρωπον και διδασκοντες παντα ανθρωπον εν παση σοφια ινα παραστησωμεν παντα ανθρωπον τελειον εν Χριστω
whom we proclaim, admonishing every man and teaching every man in all wisdom, that we may present every man perfect in Christ;
1:29
Εις ο και κοπιω αγωνιζομενος κατα την ενεργειαν αυτου την ενεργουμενην εν εμοι εν δυναμει
whereunto I labor also, striving according to his working, which worketh in me mightily.
