1 Paulus ⁼¬≠missionoffary of·¬≠Christ ⁼Yeshu through of·¬≠will of·God and ¬≠Godhonoring ⁼the ⁼brother 2 to·those⁺ in to·¬Colossaes⁺ to·¬≠holy·one⁺ and to·¬≠trusty⁺ ⁼brothers⁺ in to·¬≠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 of·you⁺ ¬≠praying, 4 ⁼¬≠hearing °the ⁼¬≠trust of·you⁺ in to·¬≠Christ ⁼Yeshu and °the ⁼¬≠love ⁼which you⁺·¬≠have into °all⁺ ⁼the⁺ ⁼¬≠holy·one⁺, 5 through °the ⁼¬≠hope ⁼the ⁼¬laying·up to·you⁺ in to·the⁺ ⁼heavens⁺ °which you⁺·¬heard·beforehand in to·the ⁼word of·the ⁼¬≠revelation of·the ⁼¬announcement 6 ⁼the ⁼¬·present into °you⁺, ¬as and in to·all ⁼the ⁼cosmos and is self-¬bearing·fruit and ¬grown ¬as and in to·you⁺ off of·which ⁼day you⁺·¬≠heared and you⁺·¬came·to·know °the ⁼¬≠gràce of·God in to·¬≠revelation, 7 ¬as and you⁺·¬≠studied off of·¬Epa-Aphras ⁼the ⁼¬≠beloved ⁼¬fellow·servant of·us, which is ¬≠trusty ¬≠over of·you⁺ ¬≠deacon of·the ⁼¬≠Christ, 8 that and ¬making·clear to·us °that of·you⁺ °¬≠love in to·¬≠breath.
9 through °this and we, off of·which ⁼day we·¬≠heared, not we·¬≠rest·ourselves ¬≠over of·you⁺ ¬≠praying and self-¬≠requesting ¬≠so·that you⁺·should·be·¬≠fulfilled °the ⁼¬knowledge of·the ⁼¬≠will of·him in to·all ⁼¬≠wisdom and to·¬understanding ⁼¬≠breathly 10 to·¬walk °you⁺ ¬≠worthily of·the ⁼Lord into °all ⁼¬pleasing in to·all ⁼¬≠work ⁼good ¬bearing·fruit and ¬grown into to·the ⁼¬knowledge of·God, 11 in to·all ⁼¬≠power ¬≠empowered down·by °the ⁼¬≠might of·the ⁼¬≠glory of·him into °all ⁼¬perseverance and °¬patience near of·¬≠chèer. 12 ¬≠euchàristing to·the ⁼Father ⁼the ⁼¬qualifying °you⁺ into °the ⁼¬≠part of·the ⁼¬≠lot of·the⁺ ⁼¬≠holy·one⁺ in to·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 to·which we·¬≠have °the ⁼¬redemption through of·the ⁼blood of·him, °the ⁼¬forgiveness of·the⁺ ⁼¬≠sins⁺: 15 which is ¬≠icon of·God ⁼the ⁼unseen, ¬≠firstchild of·all ⁼¬creation: 16 ẜor in to·him was·¬created the⁺ ⁼all⁺ ⁼those⁺ in to·the⁺ ⁼heavens⁺ and those⁺ over of·the ⁼earth, the⁺ ⁼seeable⁺ and the⁺ ⁼unseen⁺, ¬whether thrones⁺ ¬whether lordships⁺ ¬whether ¬beginnings⁺ ¬whether ¬authorities⁺: the⁺ ⁼all⁺ through of·him and into °him has·been·¬created, 17 and he is before of·all⁺, and the⁺ ⁼all⁺ in to·him has·¬commended, 18 and he is the ⁼head of·the ⁼body of·the ⁼¬assembly: which is the ⁼¬beginning, ¬≠firstchild out of·the⁺ ⁼¬≠corpse⁺, ¬≠so·that should·be·begotten in to·all⁺ he ⁼¬≠bing·first: 19 ẜor in to·him ¬delighted °all ⁼the ⁼¬fulfillment to·house·down 20 and through of·him to·¬reconcile °the⁺ ⁼all⁺ into °him, ¬doing·peace through of·the ⁼blood of·the ⁼cross of·him, through of·him ¬whether °those⁺ over of·the ⁼earth ¬whether °those⁺ in to·the⁺ ⁼heavens⁺: 21 and °you⁺ ¬once °being ⁼having·been·¬alienated and °¬≠enemies⁺ to·the ⁼¬mind in to·the⁺ ⁼¬≠works⁺ ⁼the⁺ ⁼¬≠evil⁺, 22 now also ¬reconciled in to·the ⁼body of·the ⁼flesh of·him through of·the ⁼death to·stand·by °you⁺ °¬≠holy⁺ and °¬blameless⁺ and °¬irreproachable⁺ ¬before of·him.
23 ¬≠if ¬indeed you⁺·¬remain to·the ⁼¬≠trust having·been·¬≠founded and ¬≠settle⁺ and ńot ¬shifted off of·the ⁼¬≠hope of·the ⁼¬announcement ⁼which you⁺·¬≠heared, of·the ⁼¬preached in to·all ⁼the ⁼¬creation ⁼that under °the ⁼heaven, of·which I·was·begotten I* Paulus ⁼¬≠deacon.
24 now I·¬≠chèer in to·the⁺ ⁼passions⁺ of·me ¬≠over of·you⁺ and I·¬fill·again °the⁺ ⁼¬deficiencies⁺ of·the⁺ ⁼¬pressures⁺ of·the ⁼¬≠Christ in to·the ⁼flesh of·me ¬≠over of·the ⁼body of·him, which is the ⁼¬assembly: 25 of·which I·was·begotten I* ¬≠deacon down·by °the ⁼¬management 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·¬≠shined to·the⁺ ⁼¬≠holy·one⁺ of·him: 27 to·which⁺ ¬≠willed God to·¬≠make·known, ¬≠what ⁼the ⁼¬≠riches of·the ⁼¬≠glory of·the ⁼mystery ⁼this in to·the⁺ ⁼¬≠nations⁺, which is ¬≠Christ in to·you⁺, the ⁼¬≠hope of·the ⁼¬≠glory: 28 °which we we·¬announce ¬admonishing °all ⁼¬≠human and ¬≠teaching °all ⁼¬≠human in to·all ⁼¬≠wisdom, ¬≠so·that we·should·stand·by °all ⁼¬≠human ⁼¬≠complete in to·¬≠Christ ⁼Yeshu, 29 into °which and I·¬≠labor ¬struggling down·by °the ⁼¬active·energy of·him °the ⁼self-¬·active in to·me* in to·¬≠power.
2 for I·¬≠will °you⁺ to·have·seen °¬how·great? ⁼¬fight I·¬≠have ¬≠over of·you⁺ and of·those⁺ in to·¬≠Publicjustice and whichever⁺ not they·have·seen °the ⁼eye-to of·me in to·flesh, 2 ¬≠so·that they·should·be·¬pleaded the⁺ ⁼hearts⁺ of·them ¬joined·with in to·¬≠love and into °all ⁼the ⁼¬≠riches of·the ⁼¬assurance ⁼the ⁼¬understanding into °¬knowledge of·the ⁼mystery of·God and of·Father and of·the ⁼¬≠Christ, 3 in to·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 to·¬persuasive·speech: 5 for ¬≠if and to·the ⁼flesh I·¬am·away, ¬≠but to·the ⁼¬≠breath with to·you⁺ I·am, ¬≠chèering and looking·at of·you⁺ °the ⁼¬≠order and °the ⁼¬firmness of·that into °¬≠Christ of·¬≠trust of·you⁺.
6 as ¬≠therefore you⁺·¬took °the ⁼¬≠Christ ⁼Yeshu ⁼the ⁼Lord, in to·him ꜝ¬walk⁺ 7 having·been·rooted and ¬built·up in to·him and ¬confirmed in to·the ⁼¬≠trust ¬as you⁺·were·¬≠teached, ¬exceeding in to·her in to·¬≠euchàrist.
8 ꜝlook·at⁺ ńot ¬≠whatever °you⁺ will·be the ⁼¬capturing through of·the ⁼¬philosophy and of·¬≠empty ⁼¬≠fraud down·by °the ⁼¬tradition of·the⁺ ⁼¬≠humans⁺, down·by °the⁺ ⁼¬principles⁺ of·the ⁼cosmos and not down·by °¬≠Christ: 9 ẜor in to·him houses·down all ⁼the ⁼¬fulfillment of·the ⁼godness bodily, 10 and you⁺·are in to·him having·been·¬≠fulfilled, which is the ⁼head of·all ⁼¬beginning and of·¬authority: 11 in to·which and you⁺·were·¬circumcised to·¬circumcision ⁼¬not·man-made in to·the ⁼¬removal of·the ⁼body of·the⁺ ⁼¬≠sins⁺ of·the ⁼flesh, in to·the ⁼¬circumcision of·the ⁼¬≠Christ, 12 ¬been·buried·with to·him in to·the ⁼baptization in to·which and you⁺·were·¬raised·up·with through of·the ⁼¬≠trust ⁼the ⁼¬active·energy of·God ⁼the ⁼¬arising °him out of·the⁺ ⁼¬≠corpse⁺.
13 and °you⁺ °¬≠corpse⁺ ⁼being in to·the⁺ ⁼¬trespasses⁺ and to·the ⁼¬uncircumcision of·the ⁼flesh of·you⁺, ¬made·alive·with °you⁺ with to·him ¬forgiving to·us °all⁺ ⁼the⁺ ⁼¬trespasses⁺: 14 ¬blotting·out °that down·by of·us °¬writen·record to·the⁺ ⁼¬decrees⁺ which was ¬opposed to·us, and °it has·¬taken·up out of·the ⁼middle ¬nailing °it to·the ⁼cross: 15 ¬taking·off °the⁺ ⁼¬beginnings⁺ and °the⁺ ⁼¬authorities⁺ ¬showed·up in to·allexpressing, ¬triumphing °them in to·him.
16 ńot ¬≠therefore ¬≠whatever °you⁺ ꜝlet·¬≠judge in to·¬≠food and in to·drink or in to·¬≠part of·¬≠feast or of·¬≠young·moon or of·shabbats⁺, 17 which⁺ is ¬≠shadow of·the⁺ ⁼¬ensuing, also the ⁼body of·the ⁼¬≠Christ. 18 ¬nothing °you⁺ ꜝlet·¬disqualify ¬≠willing in to·¬humility and to·¬≠religion of·the⁺ ⁼¬≠announcers⁺, °which⁺ ńot has·seen ¬investigating ¬in·vain ¬inflated under of·the ⁼¬mind of·the ⁼flesh of·him, 19 and not ¬≠taking·mightily °the ⁼head out of·which all ⁼the ⁼body through of·the⁺ ⁼¬joints⁺ and of·¬bonds⁺ ¬supplied and ¬joined·with ¬grows °the ⁼¬growth of·God.
20 ¬≠if ¬≠therefore you⁺·died·off with to·the ⁼¬≠Christ off of·the⁺ ⁼¬principles⁺ of·the ⁼cosmos, °¬≠what as ¬≠living in to·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 ¬≠whos⁺ is °word ¬on·the·other·hand ¬≠having of·¬≠wisdom in to·¬self-made·religion and to·¬humility and to·¬unsparing of·body, not in to·¬≠honor ⁼¬≠whatever to °¬gratification of·the ⁼flesh.
3 ¬≠if ¬≠therefore you⁺·were·¬raised·up·with to·the ⁼¬≠Christ, °those⁺ ¬above ꜝ¬≠seek⁺, ¬whither the ⁼¬≠Christ is in to·right of·God sitting·down: 2 °those⁺ ¬above ꜝ¬reason⁺ ńot °those⁺ over of·the ⁼earth. 3 for you⁺·died·off and the ⁼¬≠life of·you⁺ has·been·¬≠hided with to·the ⁼¬≠Christ in to·God: 4 ¬when the ⁼¬≠Christ should·be·¬≠shined, the ⁼¬≠life of·you⁺, ¬≠ŧhen and you⁺ with to·him you⁺·will·be·¬≠shined in to·¬≠glory.
5 ꜝ¬put·to·death⁺ ¬≠therefore °the⁺ ⁼¬members⁺ of·you⁺ °those⁺ over of·the ⁼earth, °pornication, ⁼¬impurity, °passion, °¬desire ⁼¬≠bad and °the ⁼¬muchhaveness ¬≠who is ¬idolatry, 6 through °which⁺ comes the ⁼raging of·God over °the⁺ ⁼sons⁺ of·the ⁼¬disobedience: 7 in to·which⁺ and you⁺ you⁺·¬walked ¬once, ¬≠when you⁺·¬≠lived in to·these⁺.
8 now also ꜝ¬put·aside⁺·yourselves⁺ and you⁺ °the⁺ ⁼all⁺, °raging, °¬wrath, °¬≠badness, ⁼¬≠blasphemy, ⁼¬obscenity out of·the ⁼mouth of·you⁺.
9 ńot ꜝ¬≠lie⁺ into °one·another⁺ ¬taking·off °the ⁼¬old ⁼¬≠human with to·the⁺ ⁼¬actions⁺ of·him 10 and self-¬putting·on °the ⁼¬≠young, ⁼the ⁼¬renewed into °¬knowledge down·by °¬≠icon of·the ⁼¬creating °him: 11 ¬where not ¬theres·is ¬Greek and Yehudan, ¬circumcision and ¬uncircumcision, ¬≠barbarian, ⁼¬Scythian, ⁼¬≠servant, ⁼¬free, ¬≠but the⁺ ⁼all⁺ and in to·all⁺ ¬≠Christ.
12 ꜝ¬put·on⁺·yourselves⁺ ¬≠therefore, as worded·out⁺ of·God ¬≠holy⁺ and having·been·¬≠loved, °¬affections⁺ of·¬compassion, °¬kindness, ⁼¬humility, ⁼¬gentleness, ⁼¬patience: 13 ¬enduring of·one·another⁺ and ¬forgiving to·yourselves⁺ ¬≠ifᵮ ¬≠whatever to °¬≠whatever should·¬≠have °¬complaint: ¬as and the ⁼Lord ¬forgave to·you⁺, thus and you⁺: 14 over to·all⁺ also to·these⁺ °the ⁼¬≠love, which is ¬bond of·the ⁼¬≠completeness. 15 and the ⁼¬≠peace of·the ⁼¬≠Christ ꜝlet·¬rule in to·the⁺ ⁼hearts⁺ of·you⁺, into °which and you⁺·were·¬≠called in to·one ⁼body: and ¬≠euchàristic⁺ ꜝbe·begotten⁺.
16 the ⁼word of·the ⁼¬≠Christ ꜝlet·¬dwell·in in to·you⁺ ¬≠richly, in to·all ⁼¬≠wisdom, ¬≠teaching and ¬admonishing °yourselves⁺ to·psalms⁺, and to·hymns⁺, and to·songs⁺ ⁼breathly⁺ in to·the ⁼¬≠gràce singing in to·the⁺ ⁼hearts⁺ of·you⁺ to·God: 17 and °all ⁼which ⁼¬≠whatever ¬≠ifᵮ you⁺·should·do in to·word or in to·¬≠work, °all⁺ in to·name of·Lord ⁼Yeshu ¬≠euchàristing to·God and to·Father through of·him.
18 the⁺ ⁼women⁺, ꜝbe·¬subjected⁺ to·the⁺ ⁼¬one's·own⁺ ⁼men⁺ as ¬was·fitting in to·Lord.
19 the⁺ ⁼men⁺, ꜝ¬≠love⁺ °the⁺ ⁼women⁺ and ńot ꜝbe·embittered⁺ to °them.
20 the⁺ ⁼children⁺, ꜝ¬obey⁺ to·the⁺ ⁼¬parents⁺ down·by °all⁺: for this ⁼¬well-pleasing is in to·Lord.
