Chapter 1

1 Paul,3972 an apostle652 of Jesus2424 Christ5547 by the will2307 of God,2316 and Timotheus5095 our brother,80

2 To the saints40 and faithful4103 brothers80 in Christ5547 which are at1722 Colosse:2857 Grace5485 be to you, and peace,1515 from God2316 our Father3962 and the Lord2962 Jesus2424 Christ.5547

3 We give thanks2168 to God2316 and the Father3962 of our Lord2962 Jesus2424 Christ,5547 praying4336 always3842 for you,

4 Since we heard191 of your5216 faith4102 in Christ5547 Jesus,2424 and of the love26 which3588 you have to all3956 the saints,40

5 For the hope1680 which3588 is laid606 up for you in heaven,3772 whereof3739 you heard4257 before4257 in the word3056 of the truth226 of the gospel;2098

6 Which3588 is come3918 to you, as it is in all3956 the world;2889 and brings2592 forth1901 fruit,2592 as it does also2532 in you, since575 the day2250 you heard191 of it, and knew1921 the grace5485 of God2316 in truth:226

7 As you also2532 learned3129 of Epaphras1889 our dear27 fellow servant,4889 who3739 is for you a faithful4103 minister1249 of Christ;5547

8 Who3588 also2532 declared1213 to us your5216 love26 in the Spirit.4151

9 For this5124 cause1223 5124 we also,2532 since575 the day2250 we heard191 it, do not cease3973 to pray4336 for you, and to desire154 that you might be filled4137 with the knowledge1922 of his will2307 in all3956 wisdom4678 and spiritual4152 understanding;4907

10 That you might walk4043 worthy516 of the Lord2962 to all3956 pleasing,699 being fruitful2592 in every3956 good18 work,2041 and increasing837 in the knowledge1922 of God;2316

11 Strengthened1412 with all3956 might,1411 according2596 to his glorious1391 power,2904 to all3956 patience5281 and long-suffering3115 with joyfulness;5479

12 Giving thanks2168 to the Father,3962 which3588 has made2427 us meet2427 to be partakers3310 of the inheritance2819 of the saints40 in light:5457

13 Who3739 has delivered4506 us from the power1849 of darkness,4655 and has translated3179 us into1519 the kingdom932 of his dear26 Son:5207

14 In whom3739 we have2192 redemption629 through1223 his blood,129 even the forgiveness859 of sins:266

15 Who3739 is the image1504 of the invisible517 God,2316 the firstborn4416 of every3956 creature:2937

16 For by him were all3956 things created,2936 that are in heaven,3772 and that are in earth,1093 visible3707 and invisible,517 whether1535 they be thrones,2362 or1535 dominions,2963 or1535 principalities,746 or1535 powers:1849 all3956 things were created2936 by him, and for him:

17 And he is before4253 all3956 things, and by him all3956 things consist.4921

18 And he is the head2776 of the body,4983 the church:1577 who3739 is the beginning,746 the firstborn4416 from the dead;3498 that in all3956 things he might have the preeminence.4409

19 For it pleased2106 the Father that in him should all3956 fullness4138 dwell;2730

20 And, having made1517 peace1517 through1223 the blood129 of his cross,4716 by him to reconcile604 all3956 things to himself;848 by him, I say, whether1535 they be things in earth,1093 or1535 things in heaven.3772

21 And you, that were sometime4218 alienated526 and enemies2190 in your3588 mind1271 by wicked4190 works,2041 yet1161 now3570 has he reconciled604

22 In the body4983 of his flesh4561 through1223 death,2288 to present3936 you holy40 and blameless299 and unreproveable410 in his sight:2714

23 If1489 you continue1961 in the faith4102 grounded2311 and settled,1476 and be not moved3334 away3334 from the hope1680 of the gospel,2098 which you have heard,191 and which3739 was preached2784 to every3956 creature2937 which is under5259 heaven;3772 whereof3739 I Paul3972 am made1096 a minister;1249

24 Who now3568 rejoice5463 in my sufferings3804 for you, and fill466 up that which is behind5303 of the afflictions2347 of Christ5547 in my flesh4561 for his body's4983 sake, which3739 is the church:1577

25 Whereof3739 I am made1096 a minister,1249 according2596 to the dispensation3622 of God2316 which3588 is given1325 to me for you, to fulfill4137 the word3056 of God;2316

26 Even the mystery3466 which3588 has been hid614 from ages165 and from generations,1074 but now3570 is made5319 manifest5319 to his saints:40

27 To whom3739 God2316 would2309 make1107 known1107 what5101 is the riches4149 of the glory1391 of this5127 mystery3466 among1722 the Gentiles;1484 which3739 is Christ5547 in you, the hope1680 of glory:1391

28 Whom3739 we preach,2605 warning3560 every3956 man,444 and teaching1321 every3956 man444 in all3956 wisdom;4678 that we may present3936 every3956 man444 perfect5046 in Christ5547 Jesus:2424

29 Whereunto1519 3739 I also2532 labor,2872 striving75 according2596 to his working,1753 which3588 works1754 in me mightily.1722 1411

Kapitel 1

1 Paulus3972, ein Apostel652 JEsu2424 Christi2316 durch1223 den Willen2307 Gottes5547, und2532 Bruder80 Timotheus5095:

2 Den Heiligen40 zu1722 Kolossä2857 und2532 den gläubigen4103 Brüdern80 in1722 Christo5547. Gnade5485 sei mit euch5213 und2532 Friede1515 von575 GOtt2316, unserm2257 Vater3962, und2532 dem HErrn2962 JEsu2424 Christo5547!

3 Wir danken2168 GOtt2316 und2532 dem Vater3962 unsers2257 HErrn2962 JEsu2424 Christi5547 und beten4336 allezeit3842 für4012 euch5216,

4 nachdem wir gehöret haben191 von eurem5216 Glauben4102 an1519 Christum5547 JEsum2424 und2532 von der3588 Liebe26 zu1722 allen3956 Heiligen40,

5 um3056 der Hoffnung1680 willen, die euch5213 beigelegt ist606 im1722 Himmel3772, von welcher3739 ihr zuvor gehöret habt4257 durch1223 das3588 Wort der Wahrheit225 im Evangelium2098,

6 das3739 zu1722 euch5209 kommen ist2076 wie auch2532 in1519 alle3956 Welt2889 und2532 ist fruchtbar2592 wie auch2532 in1722 euch5213 von575 dem3588 Tage2250 an, da3918 ihr‘s gehöret habt191 und2532 erkannt1921 die Gnade5485 Gottes2316 in1722 der Wahrheit225.

7 Wie2531 ihr denn gelernet habt3129 von575 Epaphras1889, unserm2257 lieben27 Mitdiener4889, welcher3739 ist2532 ein treuer4103 Diener1249 Christi5547 für5228 euch5216,

8 der3588 uns2254 auch2532 eröffnet hat1213 eure5216 Liebe26 im1722 Geist4151.

9 Derhalben auch2532 wir2249 von575 dem Tage2250 an, da wir‘s gehöret haben, hören191 wir nicht3756 auf3973, für5228 euch5216 zu2443 beten4336 und2532 zu1722 bitten154, daß5124 ihr846 erfüllet4137 werdet mit Erkenntnis1922 seines Willens2307 in1223 allerlei3956 geistlicher4152 Weisheit4678 und2532 Verstand4907,

10 daß1519 ihr5209 wandelt4043 würdiglich dem HErrn2962 zu1722 allem3956 Gefallen699 und2532 fruchtbar2592 seid in1519 allen3956 guten18 Werken2041

11 und2532 wachset in1722 der Erkenntnis Gottes und gestärket werdet mit3326 aller3956 Kraft1411 nach2596 seiner846 herrlichen1391 Macht2904 in aller3956 Geduld5281 und Langmütigkeit3115 mit Freuden5479;

12 und danksaget2168 dem3588 Vater3962, der uns2248 tüchtig gemacht hat2427 zu1519 dem Erbteil3310 der Heiligen40 im1722 Licht5457,

13 welcher3739 uns2248 errettet hat4506 von1537 der Obrigkeit1849 der Finsternis4655 und2532 hat uns versetzt3179 in1519 das932 Reich seines lieben26 Sohnes,

14 an1722 welchem wir haben2192 die3739 Erlösung629 durch1223 sein846 Blut129, nämlich die Vergebung859 der Sünden266,

15 welcher3739 ist2076 das3956 Ebenbild1504 des unsichtbaren517 Gottes2316, der Erstgeborene4416 vor allen Kreaturen2937.

16 Denn3754 durch1223 ihn846 ist2936 alles3956 geschaffen, was im1722 Himmel3772 und2532 auf1909 Erden1093 ist2936, das3956 Sichtbare3707 und2532 Unsichtbare517, beide, die Thronen und2532 Herrschaften2963 und Fürstentümer746 und Obrigkeiten1849; es1535 ist2936 alles durch1519 ihn846 und zu1722 ihm846 geschaffen.

17 Und2532 er846 ist2076 vor4253 allen3956; und2532 es bestehet alles3956 in1722 ihm.

18 Und2532 er ist2076 das3956 Haupt2776 des Leibes4983, nämlich der Gemeinde1577; welcher3739 ist2076 der Anfang746 und der Erstgeborene4416 von1537 den Toten3498, auf daß2443, er in1722 allen Dingen den Vorrang4409 habe1096.

19 Denn es ist das Wohlgefallen2106 gewesen, daß3754 in1722 ihm846 alle3956 Fülle4138 wohnen2730 sollte2730,

20 und2532 alles durch1223 ihn846 versöhnet würde1517 zu1722 ihm846 selbst, es1535 sei1535 auf1519 Erden1093 oder im1909 Himmel3772, damit, daß er846 Frieden machte604 durch1223 das3956 Blut129 an seinem Kreuz4716 durch1223 sich848 selbst.

21 Und2532 euch5209, die ihr weiland4218 Fremde526 und2532 Feinde2190 waret5607 durch die Vernunft1271 in1722 bösen4190 Werken2041,

22 nun aber hat1722 er euch5209 versöhnet mit dem Leibe4983 seines Fleisches4561 durch1223 den Tod2288, auf daß er euch darstellete heilig40 und2532 unsträflich und2532 ohne299 Tadel410 vor2714 ihm selbst,

23 so3739 ihr anders bleibet1961 im1722 Glauben4102 gegründet2311 und2532 fest1476 und2532 unbeweglich3361 von575 der5259 Hoffnung1680 des Evangeliums2098, welches ihr gehöret habt191, welches geprediget ist2784 unter aller3956 Kreatur2937, die3739 unter dem3588 Himmel3772 ist1096, welches ich1473, Paulus3972, Diener1249 worden bin.

24 Nun3568 freue ich mich in1722 meinem3450 Leiden3804, das3603 ich für5228 euch5463 leide, und2532 erstatte466 an5228 meinem3450 Fleisch4561, was5303 noch mangelt an Trübsalen2347 in Christo5547 für5228 seinen846 Leib4983, welcher3739 ist2076 die Gemeinde1577,

25 welcher3739 ich1473 ein Diener1249 worden bin nach2596 dem3588 göttlichen2316 Predigtamt3622, das mir3427 gegeben1325 ist1096 unter1519 euch5209, daß ich das Wort3056 Gottes2316 reichlich predigen4137 soll,

26 nämlich das3588 Geheimnis3466, das verborgen gewesen ist613 von575 der Welt165 her und2532 von575 den Zeiten1074 her, nun3570 aber1161 offenbaret ist5319 seinen846 Heiligen40,

27 welchen GOtt2316 gewollt hat2309 kundtun1107, welcher3739 da sei der herrliche1391 Reichtum4149 dieses5127 Geheimnisses3466 unter1722 den Heiden1484, welches5101 ist2076 Christus5547 in1722 euch5213, der da ist die3739 Hoffnung1680 der Herrlichkeit1391,

28 den3739 wir2249 verkündigen2605, und2532 vermahnen3560 alle3956 Menschen444 und lehren1321 alle3956 Menschen444 mit1722 aller3956 Weisheit4678, auf daß2443 wir darstellen3936 einen jeglichen3956 Menschen444 vollkommen5046 in1722 Christo5547 JEsu2424,

29 daran ich auch arbeite2872 und2532 ringe75 nach2596 der3739 Wirkung1753 des846, der3588 in1722 mir1698 kräftiglich wirket1754.

1 Paulus3972, ein Apostel652 JEsu2424 Christi2316 durch1223 den Willen2307 Gottes5547, und2532 Bruder80 Timotheus5095:

3 Wir danken2168 GOtt2316 und2532 dem Vater3962 unsers2257 HErrn2962 JEsu2424 Christi5547 und beten4336 allezeit3842 für4012 euch5216,

4 Since we heard191 of your5216 faith4102 in Christ5547 Jesus,2424 and of the love26 which3588 you have to all3956 the saints,40

4 nachdem wir gehöret haben191 von eurem5216 Glauben4102 an1519 Christum5547 JEsum2424 und2532 von der3588 Liebe26 zu1722 allen3956 Heiligen40,

5 For the hope1680 which3588 is laid606 up for you in heaven,3772 whereof3739 you heard4257 before4257 in the word3056 of the truth226 of the gospel;2098

5 um3056 der Hoffnung1680 willen, die euch5213 beigelegt ist606 im1722 Himmel3772, von welcher3739 ihr zuvor gehöret habt4257 durch1223 das3588 Wort der Wahrheit225 im Evangelium2098,

6 Which3588 is come3918 to you, as it is in all3956 the world;2889 and brings2592 forth1901 fruit,2592 as it does also2532 in you, since575 the day2250 you heard191 of it, and knew1921 the grace5485 of God2316 in truth:226

6 das3739 zu1722 euch5209 kommen ist2076 wie auch2532 in1519 alle3956 Welt2889 und2532 ist fruchtbar2592 wie auch2532 in1722 euch5213 von575 dem3588 Tage2250 an, da3918 ihr‘s gehöret habt191 und2532 erkannt1921 die Gnade5485 Gottes2316 in1722 der Wahrheit225.

7 As you also2532 learned3129 of Epaphras1889 our dear27 fellow servant,4889 who3739 is for you a faithful4103 minister1249 of Christ;5547

7 Wie2531 ihr denn gelernet habt3129 von575 Epaphras1889, unserm2257 lieben27 Mitdiener4889, welcher3739 ist2532 ein treuer4103 Diener1249 Christi5547 für5228 euch5216,

8 Who3588 also2532 declared1213 to us your5216 love26 in the Spirit.4151

8 der3588 uns2254 auch2532 eröffnet hat1213 eure5216 Liebe26 im1722 Geist4151.

9 For this5124 cause1223 5124 we also,2532 since575 the day2250 we heard191 it, do not cease3973 to pray4336 for you, and to desire154 that you might be filled4137 with the knowledge1922 of his will2307 in all3956 wisdom4678 and spiritual4152 understanding;4907

9 Derhalben auch2532 wir2249 von575 dem Tage2250 an, da wir‘s gehöret haben, hören191 wir nicht3756 auf3973, für5228 euch5216 zu2443 beten4336 und2532 zu1722 bitten154, daß5124 ihr846 erfüllet4137 werdet mit Erkenntnis1922 seines Willens2307 in1223 allerlei3956 geistlicher4152 Weisheit4678 und2532 Verstand4907,

11 Strengthened1412 with all3956 might,1411 according2596 to his glorious1391 power,2904 to all3956 patience5281 and long-suffering3115 with joyfulness;5479

12 Giving thanks2168 to the Father,3962 which3588 has made2427 us meet2427 to be partakers3310 of the inheritance2819 of the saints40 in light:5457

12 und danksaget2168 dem3588 Vater3962, der uns2248 tüchtig gemacht hat2427 zu1519 dem Erbteil3310 der Heiligen40 im1722 Licht5457,

13 Who3739 has delivered4506 us from the power1849 of darkness,4655 and has translated3179 us into1519 the kingdom932 of his dear26 Son:5207

13 welcher3739 uns2248 errettet hat4506 von1537 der Obrigkeit1849 der Finsternis4655 und2532 hat uns versetzt3179 in1519 das932 Reich seines lieben26 Sohnes,

14 In whom3739 we have2192 redemption629 through1223 his blood,129 even the forgiveness859 of sins:266

14 an1722 welchem wir haben2192 die3739 Erlösung629 durch1223 sein846 Blut129, nämlich die Vergebung859 der Sünden266,

15 Who3739 is the image1504 of the invisible517 God,2316 the firstborn4416 of every3956 creature:2937

15 welcher3739 ist2076 das3956 Ebenbild1504 des unsichtbaren517 Gottes2316, der Erstgeborene4416 vor allen Kreaturen2937.

16 For by him were all3956 things created,2936 that are in heaven,3772 and that are in earth,1093 visible3707 and invisible,517 whether1535 they be thrones,2362 or1535 dominions,2963 or1535 principalities,746 or1535 powers:1849 all3956 things were created2936 by him, and for him:

16 Denn3754 durch1223 ihn846 ist2936 alles3956 geschaffen, was im1722 Himmel3772 und2532 auf1909 Erden1093 ist2936, das3956 Sichtbare3707 und2532 Unsichtbare517, beide, die Thronen und2532 Herrschaften2963 und Fürstentümer746 und Obrigkeiten1849; es1535 ist2936 alles durch1519 ihn846 und zu1722 ihm846 geschaffen.

17 And he is before4253 all3956 things, and by him all3956 things consist.4921

17 Und2532 er846 ist2076 vor4253 allen3956; und2532 es bestehet alles3956 in1722 ihm.

18 And he is the head2776 of the body,4983 the church:1577 who3739 is the beginning,746 the firstborn4416 from the dead;3498 that in all3956 things he might have the preeminence.4409

18 Und2532 er ist2076 das3956 Haupt2776 des Leibes4983, nämlich der Gemeinde1577; welcher3739 ist2076 der Anfang746 und der Erstgeborene4416 von1537 den Toten3498, auf daß2443, er in1722 allen Dingen den Vorrang4409 habe1096.

19 For it pleased2106 the Father that in him should all3956 fullness4138 dwell;2730

19 Denn es ist das Wohlgefallen2106 gewesen, daß3754 in1722 ihm846 alle3956 Fülle4138 wohnen2730 sollte2730,

20 And, having made1517 peace1517 through1223 the blood129 of his cross,4716 by him to reconcile604 all3956 things to himself;848 by him, I say, whether1535 they be things in earth,1093 or1535 things in heaven.3772

20 und2532 alles durch1223 ihn846 versöhnet würde1517 zu1722 ihm846 selbst, es1535 sei1535 auf1519 Erden1093 oder im1909 Himmel3772, damit, daß er846 Frieden machte604 durch1223 das3956 Blut129 an seinem Kreuz4716 durch1223 sich848 selbst.

21 And you, that were sometime4218 alienated526 and enemies2190 in your3588 mind1271 by wicked4190 works,2041 yet1161 now3570 has he reconciled604

21 Und2532 euch5209, die ihr weiland4218 Fremde526 und2532 Feinde2190 waret5607 durch die Vernunft1271 in1722 bösen4190 Werken2041,

22 In the body4983 of his flesh4561 through1223 death,2288 to present3936 you holy40 and blameless299 and unreproveable410 in his sight:2714

22 nun aber hat1722 er euch5209 versöhnet mit dem Leibe4983 seines Fleisches4561 durch1223 den Tod2288, auf daß er euch darstellete heilig40 und2532 unsträflich und2532 ohne299 Tadel410 vor2714 ihm selbst,

23 If1489 you continue1961 in the faith4102 grounded2311 and settled,1476 and be not moved3334 away3334 from the hope1680 of the gospel,2098 which you have heard,191 and which3739 was preached2784 to every3956 creature2937 which is under5259 heaven;3772 whereof3739 I Paul3972 am made1096 a minister;1249

23 so3739 ihr anders bleibet1961 im1722 Glauben4102 gegründet2311 und2532 fest1476 und2532 unbeweglich3361 von575 der5259 Hoffnung1680 des Evangeliums2098, welches ihr gehöret habt191, welches geprediget ist2784 unter aller3956 Kreatur2937, die3739 unter dem3588 Himmel3772 ist1096, welches ich1473, Paulus3972, Diener1249 worden bin.

24 Who now3568 rejoice5463 in my sufferings3804 for you, and fill466 up that which is behind5303 of the afflictions2347 of Christ5547 in my flesh4561 for his body's4983 sake, which3739 is the church:1577

24 Nun3568 freue ich mich in1722 meinem3450 Leiden3804, das3603 ich für5228 euch5463 leide, und2532 erstatte466 an5228 meinem3450 Fleisch4561, was5303 noch mangelt an Trübsalen2347 in Christo5547 für5228 seinen846 Leib4983, welcher3739 ist2076 die Gemeinde1577,

25 Whereof3739 I am made1096 a minister,1249 according2596 to the dispensation3622 of God2316 which3588 is given1325 to me for you, to fulfill4137 the word3056 of God;2316

25 welcher3739 ich1473 ein Diener1249 worden bin nach2596 dem3588 göttlichen2316 Predigtamt3622, das mir3427 gegeben1325 ist1096 unter1519 euch5209, daß ich das Wort3056 Gottes2316 reichlich predigen4137 soll,

26 Even the mystery3466 which3588 has been hid614 from ages165 and from generations,1074 but now3570 is made5319 manifest5319 to his saints:40

26 nämlich das3588 Geheimnis3466, das verborgen gewesen ist613 von575 der Welt165 her und2532 von575 den Zeiten1074 her, nun3570 aber1161 offenbaret ist5319 seinen846 Heiligen40,

27 To whom3739 God2316 would2309 make1107 known1107 what5101 is the riches4149 of the glory1391 of this5127 mystery3466 among1722 the Gentiles;1484 which3739 is Christ5547 in you, the hope1680 of glory:1391

27 welchen GOtt2316 gewollt hat2309 kundtun1107, welcher3739 da sei der herrliche1391 Reichtum4149 dieses5127 Geheimnisses3466 unter1722 den Heiden1484, welches5101 ist2076 Christus5547 in1722 euch5213, der da ist die3739 Hoffnung1680 der Herrlichkeit1391,

28 Whom3739 we preach,2605 warning3560 every3956 man,444 and teaching1321 every3956 man444 in all3956 wisdom;4678 that we may present3936 every3956 man444 perfect5046 in Christ5547 Jesus:2424

28 den3739 wir2249 verkündigen2605, und2532 vermahnen3560 alle3956 Menschen444 und lehren1321 alle3956 Menschen444 mit1722 aller3956 Weisheit4678, auf daß2443 wir darstellen3936 einen jeglichen3956 Menschen444 vollkommen5046 in1722 Christo5547 JEsu2424,

29 Whereunto1519 3739 I also2532 labor,2872 striving75 according2596 to his working,1753 which3588 works1754 in me mightily.1722 1411

29 daran ich auch arbeite2872 und2532 ringe75 nach2596 der3739 Wirkung1753 des846, der3588 in1722 mir1698 kräftiglich wirket1754.
