3Ons dank God, die Vader van ons Here Jesus Christus, altyd wanneer ons vir julle bid,Εὐχαριστοῦμεν τῷ ⸀θεῷ πατρὶ τοῦ κυρίου ἡμῶν Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ πάντοτε ⸀περὶ ὑμῶν προσευχόμενοι,We always thank God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, when we pray for you, 4nadat ons gehoor het van julle geloof in Christus Jesus en van die liefde wat julle vir al die heiliges het,ἀκούσαντες τὴν πίστιν ὑμῶν ἐν Χριστῷ Ἰησοῦ καὶ τὴν ἀγάπην ⸂ἣν ἔχετε⸃ εἰς πάντας τοὺς ἁγίουςbecause we have heard about your faith in Christ Jesus and your love for all the saints— 5vanweë die hoop wat vir julle in die hemele weggelê is, waarvan julle vooraf gehoor het in die woord van die waarheid van die evangelie,διὰ τὴν ἐλπίδα τὴν ἀποκειμένην ὑμῖν ἐν τοῖς οὐρανοῖς, ἣν προηκούσατε ἐν τῷ λόγῳ τῆς ἀληθείας τοῦ εὐαγγελίουthe faith and love proceeding from the hope stored up for you in heaven, of which you have already heard in the word of truth, the gospel 6wat na julle gekom het, soos dit ook in die hele wêreld vrug dra en groei, soos ook onder julle, van die dag af dat julle gehoor het en die genade van God in waarheid leer ken het;τοῦ παρόντος εἰς ὑμᾶς, καθὼς καὶ ἐν παντὶ τῷ ⸀κόσμῳ ἐστὶν καρποφορούμενον καὶ αὐξανόμενον καθὼς καὶ ἐν ὑμῖν, ἀφʼ ἧς ἡμέρας ἠκούσατε καὶ ἐπέγνωτε τὴν χάριν τοῦ θεοῦ ἐν ἀληθείᾳ·that has come to you. All over the world this gospel is bearing fruit and growing, just as it has been doing among you since the day you heard it and truly understood the grace of God. 7soos julle dit geleer het van Epafras, ons geliefde mede-slaaf, wat vir ons 'n getroue dienaar van Christus is,

Sommige manuskripte lees: wat vir julle 'n getroue dienaar van Christus is.

⸀καθὼς ἐμάθετε ἀπὸ Ἐπαφρᾶ τοῦ ἀγαπητοῦ συνδούλου ἡμῶν, ὅς ἐστιν πιστὸς ὑπὲρ ⸀ἡμῶν διάκονος τοῦ Χριστοῦ,You learned it from Epaphras, our beloved fellow servant, who is a faithful minister of Christ on our behalf, 8wat ook julle liefde in die Gees aan ons bekend gemaak het.ὁ καὶ δηλώσας ἡμῖν τὴν ὑμῶν ἀγάπην ἐν πνεύματι.and who also informed us of your love in the Spirit.

9Daarom hou ook ons, van die dag af dat ons dit gehoor het, nie op om vir julle te bid en te vra dat julle vervul sal word met die kennis van Sy wil in alle geestelike wysheid en insig nie,Διὰ τοῦτο καὶ ἡμεῖς, ἀφʼ ἧς ἡμέρας ἠκούσαμεν, οὐ παυόμεθα ὑπὲρ ὑμῶν προσευχόμενοι καὶ αἰτούμενοι ἵνα πληρωθῆτε τὴν ἐπίγνωσιν τοῦ θελήματος αὐτοῦ ἐν πάσῃ σοφίᾳ καὶ συνέσει πνευματικῇ,For this reason, since the day we heard about you, we have not stopped praying for you and asking God to fill you with the knowledge of His will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding, 10om waardig van die Here te wandel, om Hom in alles te behaag, terwyl julle in elke goeie werk vrug dra en groei in die kennis van God,

Of: die eersgeborene van elke skepsel.

ὅς ἐστιν εἰκὼν τοῦ θεοῦ τοῦ ἀοράτου, πρωτότοκος πάσης κτίσεως,The Son is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. 16want in Hom is alles geskep in die hemele en op die aarde, die sienlike en die onsienlike, hetsy trone, hetsy heerskappye, hetsy owerhede, hetsy magte; alles is deur Hom en vir Hom geskep;ὅτι ἐν αὐτῷ ἐκτίσθη τὰ ⸀πάντα ἐν τοῖς οὐρανοῖς ⸀καὶ ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς, τὰ ὁρατὰ καὶ τὰ ἀόρατα, εἴτε θρόνοι εἴτε κυριότητες εἴτε ἀρχαὶ εἴτε ἐξουσίαι· τὰ πάντα διʼ αὐτοῦ καὶ εἰς αὐτὸν ἔκτισται·For in Him all things were created, things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities. All things were created through Him and for Him. 17en Hy is voor alles, en alles bestaan saam in Hom,καὶ αὐτός ἐστιν πρὸ πάντων καὶ τὰ πάντα ἐν αὐτῷ συνέστηκεν,He is before all things, and in Him all things hold together. 18en Hy is die hoof van die liggaam, die gemeente; Hy wat die begin is, die eersgeborene uit die dooies, sodat Hy self in alles die eerste kan wees,καὶ αὐτός ἐστιν ἡ κεφαλὴ τοῦ σώματος τῆς ἐκκλησίας· ὅς ⸀ἐστιν ἀρχή, πρωτότοκος ἐκ τῶν νεκρῶν, ἵνα γένηται ἐν πᾶσιν αὐτὸς πρωτεύων,And He is the head of the body, the church; He is the beginning and firstborn from among the dead, so that in all things He may have preeminence. 19want in Hom het dit die hele volheid behaag om te woonὅτι ἐν αὐτῷ εὐδόκησεν πᾶν τὸ πλήρωμα κατοικῆσαιFor God was pleased to have all His fullness dwell in Him, 20en om deur Hom alle dinge met Hom te versoen, nadat Hy vrede gemaak het deur die bloed van Sy kruis, deur Hom, hetsy die dinge op die aarde of die dinge in die hemele.

Sommige manuskripte lees: nadat Hy vrede gemaak het deur die bloed van Sy kruis, hetsy die dinge op die aarde of die dinge in die hemele, sonder die herhaalde “deur Hom”.

καὶ διʼ αὐτοῦ ἀποκαταλλάξαι τὰ πάντα εἰς αὐτόν, εἰρηνοποιήσας διὰ τοῦ αἵματος τοῦ σταυροῦ αὐτοῦ, ⸂[διʼ αὐτοῦ]⸃ εἴτε τὰ ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς εἴτε τὰ ⸀ἐν τοῖς οὐρανοῖς·and through Him to reconcile to Himself all things, whether things on earth or things in heaven, by making peace through the blood of His cross.

21En julle, wat eens vervreemd en vyande was in die denke, in die bose werke—καὶ ὑμᾶς ποτε ὄντας ἀπηλλοτριωμένους καὶ ἐχθροὺς τῇ διανοίᾳ ἐν τοῖς ἔργοις τοῖς πονηροῖς—Once you were alienated from God and were hostile in your minds, engaging in evil deeds. 22maar nou is julle versoen in die liggaam van Sy vlees deur die dood— om julle heilig en sonder gebrek en onberispelik voor Hom te stel,

Sommige manuskripte lees: maar nou het Hy julle versoen in die liggaam van Sy vlees deur die dood, om julle heilig en sonder gebrek en onberispelik voor Hom te stel.

νυνὶ δὲ ⸀ἀποκατηλλάγητε ἐν τῷ σώματι τῆς σαρκὸς αὐτοῦ διὰ τοῦ θανάτου— παραστῆσαι ὑμᾶς ἁγίους καὶ ἀμώμους καὶ ἀνεγκλήτους κατενώπιον αὐτοῦ,But now He has reconciled you by Christ’s physical body through death to present you holy, unblemished, and blameless in His presence— 23as julle maar in die geloof bly, gegrond en vas, en nie weggeskuif word van die hoop van die evangelie wat julle gehoor het nie, wat verkondig is in die hele skepping onder die hemel, waarvan ek, Paulus, 'n dienaar geword het.

Of: aan elke skepsel onder die hemel.

εἴ γε ἐπιμένετε τῇ πίστει τεθεμελιωμένοι καὶ ἑδραῖοι καὶ μὴ μετακινούμενοι ἀπὸ τῆς ἐλπίδος τοῦ εὐαγγελίου οὗ ἠκούσατε, τοῦ κηρυχθέντος ἐν ⸀πάσῃ κτίσει τῇ ὑπὸ τὸν οὐρανόν, οὗ ἐγενόμην ἐγὼ Παῦλος διάκονος.if indeed you continue in your faith, established and firm, not moved from the hope of the gospel you heard, which has been proclaimed to every creature under heaven, and of which I, Paul, have become a servant.

24Nou verbly ek my in die lyding ter wille van julle, en ek vul in my vlees aan wat ontbreek aan die verdrukkings van Christus, ter wille van Sy liggaam, wat die gemeente is,Νῦν χαίρω ἐν τοῖς παθήμασιν ὑπὲρ ὑμῶν, καὶ ἀνταναπληρῶ τὰ ὑστερήματα τῶν θλίψεων τοῦ Χριστοῦ ἐν τῇ σαρκί μου ὑπὲρ τοῦ σώματος αὐτοῦ, ὅ ἐστιν ἡ ἐκκλησία,Now I rejoice in my sufferings for you, and I fill up in my flesh what is lacking in regard to Christ’s afflictions for the sake of His body, which is the church. 25waarvan ek 'n dienaar geword het volgens die huisbestuur van God wat aan my gegee is vir julle, om die woord van God te vervul,ἧς ἐγενόμην ἐγὼ διάκονος κατὰ τὴν οἰκονομίαν τοῦ θεοῦ τὴν δοθεῖσάν μοι εἰς ὑμᾶς πληρῶσαι τὸν λόγον τοῦ θεοῦ,I became its servant by the commission God gave me to fully proclaim to you the word of God, 26die geheimenis wat van die eeue en van die geslagte af verborge was, maar nou geopenbaar is aan Sy heiliges,

Of: verborge vir die eeue en vir die geslagte.

τὸ μυστήριον τὸ ἀποκεκρυμμένον ἀπὸ τῶν αἰώνων καὶ ἀπὸ τῶν γενεῶν,— ⸀νῦν δὲ ἐφανερώθη τοῖς ἁγίοις αὐτοῦ,the mystery that was hidden for ages and generations but is now revealed to His saints. 27aan wie God wou bekend maak wat die rykdom van die heerlikheid van hierdie geheimenis onder die nasies is, dit is Christus in julle, die hoop van die heerlikheid.

Of: Christus onder julle.

οἷς ἠθέλησεν ὁ θεὸς γνωρίσαι τί τὸ πλοῦτος τῆς δόξης τοῦ μυστηρίου τούτου ἐν τοῖς ἔθνεσιν, ⸀ὅ ἐστιν Χριστὸς ἐν ὑμῖν, ἡ ἐλπὶς τῆς δόξης·To them God has chosen to make known among the Gentiles the glorious riches of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory. 28Hom verkondig ons, terwyl ons elke mens vermaan en elke mens in alle wysheid leer, sodat ons elke mens volmaak in Christus kan stel.

Of: volwasse in Christus.

ὃν ἡμεῖς καταγγέλλομεν νουθετοῦντες πάντα ἄνθρωπον καὶ διδάσκοντες πάντα ἄνθρωπον ἐν πάσῃ σοφίᾳ, ἵνα παραστήσωμεν πάντα ἄνθρωπον τέλειον ἐν ⸀Χριστῷ·We proclaim Him, admonishing and teaching everyone with all wisdom, so that we may present everyone perfect in Christ. 29Hiervoor arbei ek ook, terwyl ek stry volgens Sy werking wat in my werk, in krag.εἰς ὃ καὶ κοπιῶ ἀγωνιζόμενος κατὰ τὴν ἐνέργειαν αὐτοῦ τὴν ἐνεργουμένην ἐν ἐμοὶ ἐν δυνάμει.To this end I also labor, striving with all His energy working powerfully within me.
