1 Paulus ⁼¬≠missionoffary of·Christ ⁼Yeshu through ‹will ‹God and Godhonoring ⁼the ⁼brother 2 to·those⁺ in ›Colossaes⁺ ›holy·ones⁺ and ›¬≠trusty⁺ ⁼brothers⁺ in ›Christ: gràce to·you⁺ and peace off of·God ⁼Father of·us and of·Lord ⁼Yeshu ⁼Christ.
3 we·euchàrist to·God and to·Father of·the ⁼Lord of·us of·Yeshu ⁼Christ ¬always about ‹you⁺ praying, 4 ⁼hearing °the ⁼¬≠trust of·you⁺ in ›Christ ⁼Yeshu and °the ⁼love ⁼which you⁺·¬≠have into °all⁺ ⁼the⁺ ⁼holy·ones⁺, 5 through °the ⁼hope ⁼the ⁼¬laying·up to·you⁺ in ›the⁺ ⁼heavens⁺ °which you⁺·¬heard·beforehand in ›the ⁼word of·the ⁼¬≠revelation of·the ⁼¬announcement 6 ⁼the ⁼nearby into °you⁺, down·as and in ›all ⁼the ⁼cosmos and is self-bearing·fruit and ¬grown down·as and in ›you⁺ off of·which ⁼day you⁺·heard and you⁺·knew·over °the ⁼gràce of·God in ›¬≠revelation, 7 down·as and you⁺·studied off of·¬Epa-Aphras ⁼the ⁼beloved ⁼¬fellow·servant of·us, which is ¬≠trusty upfor ‹you⁺ deacon of·the ⁼Christ, 8 that and ¬making·clear to·us °that of·you⁺ °love in ›breath.
9 through °this and we, off of·which ⁼day we·heard, not we·rest·ourselves upfor ‹you⁺ praying and self-requesting so·that you⁺·should·be·fulfilled °the ⁼knowledge·over of·the ⁼will of·him in ›all ⁼wisdom and ›comprehension ⁼breathly 10 to·tramp·about °you⁺ worthily of·the ⁼Lord into °all ⁼¬pleasing in ›all ⁼work ⁼good bearing·fruit and ¬grown into to·the ⁼knowledge·over of·God, 11 in ›all ⁼power empowered down·by °the ⁼might of·the ⁼glory of·him into °all ⁼remaining·under and °¬patience with ‹chèer. 12 euchàristing to·the ⁼Father ⁼the ⁼¬qualifying °you⁺ into °the ⁼part of·the ⁼lot of·the⁺ ⁼holy·ones⁺ in ›the ⁼light, 13 which rescued °us out of·the ⁼¬authority of·the ⁼darkness and ¬moved into °the ⁼kingdom of·the ⁼son of·the ⁼love of·him, 14 in ›which we·¬≠have °the ⁼absolution through ‹the ⁼blood ‹him, °the ⁼release of·the⁺ ⁼sins⁺: 15 which is icon of·God ⁼the ⁼unseen, firstchild of·all ⁼creation: 16 ẜor in ›him was·created the⁺ ⁼all⁺ ⁼those⁺ in ›the⁺ ⁼heavens⁺ and those⁺ over ‹the ⁼earth, the⁺ ⁼seeable⁺ and the⁺ ⁼unseen⁺, ¬whether thrones⁺ ¬whether lordships⁺ ¬whether ¬beginnings⁺ ¬whether ¬authorities⁺: the⁺ ⁼all⁺ through ‹him and into °him has·been·created, 17 and he is before ‹all⁺, and the⁺ ⁼all⁺ in ›him has·commended, 18 and he is the ⁼head of·the ⁼body of·the ⁼outcalling: which is the ⁼¬beginning, firstchild out of·the⁺ ⁼corpse⁺, so·that should·get·to·be in ›all⁺ he ⁼first: 19 ẜor in ›him ¬delighted °all ⁼the ⁼¬fulfillment to·house·down 20 and through ‹him to·¬reconcile °the⁺ ⁼all⁺ into °him, doing·peace through ‹the ⁼blood ‹the ⁼cross ‹him, through ‹him ¬whether °those⁺ over ‹the ⁼earth ¬whether °those⁺ in ›the⁺ ⁼heavens⁺: 21 and °you⁺ once °being ⁼having·been·alienated·off and °enemies⁺ to·the ⁼¬mind in ›the⁺ ⁼works⁺ ⁼the⁺ ⁼evil⁺, 22 now also ¬reconciled in ›the ⁼body of·the ⁼flesh of·him through ‹the ⁼death to·stand·by °you⁺ °holy⁺ and °unblemished⁺ and °¬irreproachable⁺ ¬before of·him.
23 if ¬indeed you⁺·remain·over to·the ⁼¬≠trust having·been·founded and ¬≠settle⁺ and ńot ¬shifted off of·the ⁼hope of·the ⁼¬announcement ⁼which you⁺·heard, of·the ⁼¬preached in ›all ⁼the ⁼creation ⁼that under °the ⁼heaven, of·which I·got·to·be I* Paulus ⁼deacon.
24 now I·chèer in ›the⁺ ⁼passions⁺ of·me upfor ‹you⁺ and I·fill·ũp·anti °the⁺ ⁼¬deficiencies⁺ of·the⁺ ⁼afflictions⁺ of·the ⁼Christ in ›the ⁼flesh of·me upfor ‹the ⁼body ‹him, which is the ⁼outcalling: 25 of·which I·got·to·be I* deacon down·by °the ⁼houselaw of·God °the ⁼given to·me into °you⁺ to·fulfill °the ⁼word of·God, 26 °the ⁼mystery ⁼the ⁼having·been·¬concealed off of·the⁺ ⁼eternities⁺ and off of·the⁺ ⁼begettings⁺, now also was·made·apparent to·the⁺ ⁼holy·ones⁺ of·him: 27 to·which⁺ willed God to·make·known, what ⁼the ⁼riches of·the ⁼glory of·the ⁼mystery ⁼this in ›the⁺ ⁼nations⁺, which is Christ in ›you⁺, the ⁼hope of·the ⁼glory: 28 °which we we·¬announce ¬admonishing °all ⁼human and teaching °all ⁼human in ›all ⁼wisdom, so·that we·should·stand·by °all ⁼human ⁼¬≠complete in ›Christ ⁼Yeshu, 29 into °which and I·¬≠labor ¬struggling down·by °the ⁼energy of·him °the ⁼self-energizing in ›me* in ›power.
2 for I·will °you⁺ to·have·seen °¬how·great? ⁼¬fight I·¬≠have upfor ‹you⁺ and ‹those⁺ in ›Publicjustice and whichever⁺ not they·have·seen °the ⁼face of·me in ›flesh, 2 so·that they·should·be·called·by the⁺ ⁼hearts⁺ of·them ¬joined·with in ›love and into °all ⁼the ⁼riches of·the ⁼full-bearing of·the ⁼comprehension into °knowledge·over of·the ⁼mystery of·God and of·Father and of·the ⁼Christ, 3 in ›which they·are all⁺ ⁼the⁺ ⁼treasures⁺ of·the ⁼wisdom and of·the ⁼knowledge ¬concealed⁺: 4 °this also I·word, so·that ¬nothing °you⁺ should·¬deceive in ›¬persuasive·speech: 5 for if and to·the ⁼flesh I·¬am·away, but to·the ⁼breath together to·you⁺ I·am, chèering and looking·at of·you⁺ °the ⁼¬≠order and °the ⁼stability of·that into °Christ of·¬≠trust of·you⁺.
6 as therefore you⁺·took·by °the ⁼Christ ⁼Yeshu ⁼the ⁼Lord, in ›him ꜝtramp·about⁺ 7 having·been·rooted and housebuilt·over in ›him and ¬confirmed in ›the ⁼¬≠trust down·as you⁺·were·taught, ¬exceeding in ›her in ›euchàrist.
8 ꜝlook⁺ ńot whatever °you⁺ will·be the ⁼¬capturing through ‹the ⁼wisdom-friendship and ‹empty ⁼¬≠fraud down·by °the ⁼¬tradition of·the⁺ ⁼humans⁺, down·by °the⁺ ⁼¬principles⁺ of·the ⁼cosmos and not down·by °Christ: 9 ẜor in ›him houses·down all ⁼the ⁼¬fulfillment of·the ⁼godness bodily, 10 and you⁺·are in ›him having·been·fulfilled, which is the ⁼head of·all ⁼¬beginning and of·¬authority: 11 in ›which and you⁺·were·cut-about to·cutting-about ⁼¬not·man-made in ›the ⁼undressing·off of·the ⁼body of·the⁺ ⁼sins⁺ of·the ⁼flesh, in ›the ⁼cutting-about of·the ⁼Christ, 12 entombed·together to·him in ›the ⁼baptization in ›which and you⁺·were·¬raised·up·with through ‹the ⁼¬≠trust ⁼the ⁼energy ‹God ⁼the ⁼¬arising °him out of·the⁺ ⁼corpse⁺.
13 and °you⁺ °corpse⁺ ⁼being in ›the⁺ ⁼¬trespasses⁺ and ›the ⁼¬uncircumcision of·the ⁼flesh of·you⁺, deeded·life·together °you⁺ together to·him ¬forgiving to·us °all⁺ ⁼the⁺ ⁼¬trespasses⁺: 14 ¬blotting·out °that down·on ‹us °¬writen·record to·the⁺ ⁼¬decrees⁺ which was under·in·anti to·us, and °it has·¬taken·up out of·the ⁼middle nailing·to °it to·the ⁼cross: 15 undressing·off °the⁺ ⁼¬beginnings⁺ and °the⁺ ⁼¬authorities⁺ ¬showed·up in ›allexpressing, ¬triumphing °them in ›him.
16 ńot therefore whatever °you⁺ ꜝlet·judge in ›food and in ›drink or in ›part of·feast or of·young·moon or of·shabbats⁺, 17 which⁺ is shadow of·the⁺ ⁼destined, also the ⁼body of·the ⁼Christ. 18 ¬nothing °you⁺ ꜝlet·¬disqualify willing in ›¬humility and ›religion of·the⁺ ⁼¬≠announcers⁺, °which⁺ ńot has·seen ¬investigating ¬in·vain ¬inflated underby ‹the ⁼¬mind ‹the ⁼flesh ‹him, 19 and not taking·mightily °the ⁼head out of·which all ⁼the ⁼body through ‹the⁺ ⁼touchpoints⁺ and ‹together-bonds⁺ ¬supplied and ¬joined·with ¬grows °the ⁼¬growth of·God.
20 if therefore you⁺·died·off together to·the ⁼Christ off of·the⁺ ⁼¬principles⁺ of·the ⁼cosmos, °what as living in ›cosmos you⁺·are·¬decreed? 21 ńot you·should·touch·yourself ńot·also you·should·taste ńot·also you·should·¬touch: 22 which⁺ is all⁺ into °¬corruption to·the ⁼¬using·up down·by °the⁺ ⁼¬precepts⁺ and °teachings⁺ of·the⁺ ⁼humans⁺: 23 who⁺ is °word ¬on·the·other·hand ¬≠having of·wisdom in ›¬self-made·religion and ›¬humility and ›unsparing of·body, not in ›honor ⁼whatever to °fulfillment of·the ⁼flesh.
3 if therefore you⁺·were·¬raised·up·with to·the ⁼Christ, °those⁺ ¬above ꜝseek⁺, where the ⁼Christ is in ›right of·God sitting·down: 2 °those⁺ ¬above ꜝ¬reason⁺ ńot °those⁺ over ‹the ⁼earth. 3 for you⁺·died·off and the ⁼life of·you⁺ has·been·¬≠hided together to·the ⁼Christ in ›God: 4 when·if the ⁼Christ should·be·made·apparent, the ⁼life of·you⁺, then and you⁺ together to·him you⁺·will·be·made·apparent in ›glory.
5 ꜝ¬put·to·death⁺ therefore °the⁺ ⁼members⁺ of·you⁺ °those⁺ over ‹the ⁼earth, °pornication, ⁼uncleanness, °passion, °overkindling ⁼bad and °the ⁼¬muchhaveness who is ¬idolatry, 6 through °which⁺ comes the ⁼raging of·God over °the⁺ ⁼sons⁺ of·the ⁼¬disobedience: 7 in ›which⁺ and you⁺ you⁺·tramped·about once, when you⁺·lived in ›these⁺.
8 now also ꜝ¬put·aside⁺·yourselves⁺ and you⁺ °the⁺ ⁼all⁺, °raging, °kindling, °badness, ⁼blasphemy, ⁼¬obscenity out of·the ⁼mouth of·you⁺.
9 ńot ꜝlie⁺ into °one·another⁺ undressing·off °the ⁼¬old ⁼human together to·the⁺ ⁼¬actions⁺ of·him 10 and self-dressing·in °the ⁼young, ⁼the ⁼¬renewed into °knowledge·over down·by °icon of·the ⁼creating °him: 11 where not ¬theres·is Hellene and Yehudan, cutting-about and ¬uncircumcision, barbarian, ⁼¬Scythian, ⁼¬≠servant, ⁼liberated, but the⁺ ⁼all⁺ and in ›all⁺ Christ.
12 ꜝdress·in⁺·yourselves⁺ therefore, as worded·out⁺ of·God holy⁺ and having·been·loved, °¬affections⁺ of·pity, °¬kindness, ⁼¬humility, ⁼¬gentleness, ⁼¬patience: 13 ¬enduring of·one·another⁺ and ¬forgiving to·yourselves⁺ ifᵮ whatever to °whatever should·¬≠have °¬complaint: down·as and the ⁼Lord ¬forgave to·you⁺, thus and you⁺: 14 over ›all⁺ also ›these⁺ °the ⁼love, which is together-bond of·the ⁼¬≠completeness. 15 and the ⁼peace of·the ⁼Christ ꜝlet·¬rule in ›the⁺ ⁼hearts⁺ of·you⁺, into °which and you⁺·were·called in ›one ⁼body: and euchàristic⁺ ꜝget·to·be⁺.
16 the ⁼word of·the ⁼Christ ꜝlet·enhouse in ›you⁺ richly, in ›all ⁼wisdom, teaching and ¬admonishing °yourselves⁺ to·psalms⁺, and to·hymns⁺, and to·songs⁺ ⁼breathly⁺ in ›the ⁼gràce singing in ›the⁺ ⁼hearts⁺ of·you⁺ to·God: 17 and °all ⁼which ⁼whatever ifᵮ you⁺·should·do in ›word or in ›work, °all⁺ in ›name of·Lord ⁼Yeshu euchàristing to·God and to·Father through ‹him.
18 the⁺ ⁼women⁺, ꜝbe·¬subjected⁺ to·the⁺ ⁼¬one's·own⁺ ⁼men⁺ as ¬was·fitting in ›Lord.
19 the⁺ ⁼men⁺, ꜝlove⁺ °the⁺ ⁼women⁺ and ńot ꜝbe·embittered⁺ to °them.
20 the⁺ ⁼children⁺, ꜝhear·under⁺ to·the⁺ ⁼¬parents⁺ down·by °all⁺: for this ⁼¬well-pleasing is in ›Lord.
21 the⁺ ⁼Fathers⁺, ńot ꜝ¬provoke⁺ °the⁺ ⁼children⁺ of·you⁺, so·that ńot they·should·¬be·discouraged.
22 the⁺ ⁼¬≠servants⁺, ꜝhear·under⁺ down·by °all⁺ to·those⁺ down·by °flesh to·lords⁺, ńot in ›¬eye-service as ¬people-pleasers⁺ but in ›¬openness of·heart fearing °the ⁼Lord. 23 and °all ⁼which ⁼whatever ifᵮ you⁺·should·do, out of·soul ꜝwork⁺ as to·the ⁼Lord and not to·humans⁺: 24 having·seen that off of·Lord you⁺·will·take·off °the ⁼¬reward of·the ⁼law-lot: for to·the ⁼Lord ⁼Christ you⁺·¬≠serve. 25 for the ⁼injusticing will·¬receive °which injusticed and not is ¬favoritism.
4 the⁺ ⁼lords⁺, °the ⁼just and °the ⁼equality to·the⁺ ⁼¬≠servants⁺ ꜝ¬furnish·occasion⁺·yourselves⁺ having·seen that and you⁺ you⁺·¬≠have °lord in ›heaven.
2 to·the ⁼prayer ꜝ¬continue·in⁺ ¬keeping·watch in ›her in ›euchàrist: 3 praying at·once and about ‹us so·that God should·open·ũp to·us °door of·the ⁼word to·speak °the ⁼mystery of·the ⁼Christ, through °which and I·have·been·bound, 4 so·that I·should·make·apparent °it as is·bound °me to·speak.
5 in ›wisdom ꜝtramp·about⁺ to °those⁺ out °the ⁼season self-¬redeeming. 6 the ⁼word of·you⁺ ¬always in ›gràce, to·salt having·been·¬seasoned, to·have·seen how is·bound °you⁺ to·one ⁼each to·answer.
7 °those⁺ down·by °me* °all⁺ will·make·known to·you⁺ ¬Tychicus ⁼the ⁼beloved ⁼brother and ¬≠trusty ⁼deacon and ¬fellow·servant in ›Lord, 8 °which I·¬≠sended to °you⁺ into °it ⁼this so·that you⁺·should·know °those⁺ about ‹us and should·call·by °the⁺ ⁼hearts⁺ of·you⁺, 9 together to·¬Onesimus ⁼the ⁼¬≠trusty and to·beloved ⁼brother, which is out of·you⁺: °all⁺ to·you⁺ they·will·make·known °those⁺ herè.
10 greets °you⁺ ¬Aristarchus ⁼the ⁼chain-prisoner·together of·me and Marcus ⁼the ⁼¬cousin of·Bar-Navi, about ‹which you⁺·took °¬≠commandments⁺: ifᵮ should·come to °you⁺, ꜝ¬receive⁺ °him: 11 and Yeshu ⁼the ⁼worded·as ⁼Justus, the⁺ ⁼being out of·cutting-about, these⁺ ⁼only⁺ ⁼workers·together⁺ into °the ⁼kingdom of·God, who⁺ they·were·gotten·to·be to·me ¬comfort.
