RV1909 Reina-Valera 1909
1 Госпо́дїе, пра́вдꙋ и҆ ᲂу҆равне́нїе рабѡ́мъ подава́йте, вѣ́дѧще, ꙗ҆́кѡ и҆ вы̀ и҆́мате гдⷭ҇а на нб҃сѣ́хъ.
1 AMOS, haced lo que es justo y derecho con vuestros siervos, sabiendo que también vosotros tenéis amo en los cielos.
2 Въ моли́твѣ терпи́те, бо́дрствꙋюще въ не́й со благодаре́нїемъ:
2 Perseverad en oración, velando en ella con hacimiento de gracias:
3 молѧ́щесѧ и҆ ѡ҆ на́съ вкꙋ́пѣ, да бг҃ъ ѿве́рзетъ на́мъ двє́ри сло́ва, проглаго́лати та́йнꙋ хрⷭ҇то́вꙋ, є҆ѧ́же ра́ди и҆ свѧ́занъ є҆́смь:
3 Orando también juntamente por nosotros, que el Señor nos abra la puerta de la palabra, para hablar el misterio de Cristo, por el cual aun estoy preso,
4 да ꙗ҆влю̀ ю҆̀, ꙗ҆́коже подоба́етъ мѝ глаго́лати.
4 Para que lo manifieste como me conviene hablar.
5 Въ премꙋ́дрости ходи́те ко внѣ̑шнимъ, вре́мѧ и҆скꙋпꙋ́юще.
5 Andad en sabiduría para con los extraños, redimiendo el tiempo.
6 Сло́во ва́ше (да быва́етъ) всегда̀ во блгⷣти, со́лїю растворе́но, вѣ́дѣти, ка́кѡ подоба́етъ ва́мъ є҆ди́номꙋ комꙋ́ждо ѿвѣщава́ти.
6 Sea vuestra palabra siempre con gracia, sazonada con sal; para que sepáis cómo os conviene responder á cada uno.
7 Ꙗ҆̀же ѡ҆ мнѣ̀, всѧ̑ ска́жетъ ва́мъ тѷхі́къ, возлю́бленный бра́тъ и҆ вѣ́ренъ слꙋжи́тель и҆ сорабо́тникъ ѡ҆ гдⷭ҇ѣ,
7 Todos mis negocios os hará saber Tichîco, hermano amado y fiel ministro y consiervo en el Señor:
8 є҆го́же посла́хъ къ ва́мъ на сѐ и҆́стое, да разꙋмѣ́етъ ꙗ҆́же ѡ҆ ва́съ и҆ ᲂу҆тѣ́шитъ сердца̀ ва̑ша,
8 El cual os he enviado á esto mismo, para que entienda vuestros negocios, y consuele vuestros corazones;
9 со ѻ҆ни́сїмомъ, вѣ́рнымъ и҆ возлю́бленнымъ бра́томъ на́шимъ, и҆́же є҆́сть ѿ ва́съ: всѧ̑ ва́мъ ска́жꙋтъ, ꙗ҆́же здѣ̀.
9 Con Onésimo, amado y fiel hermano, el cual es de vosotros. Todo lo que acá pasa, os harán saber.
10 Цѣлꙋ́етъ вы̀ а҆рїста́рхъ сплѣ́нникъ мо́й, и҆ ма́рко а҆неѱі́й варна́винъ, ѡ҆ не́мже прїѧ́сте за́пѡвѣди: а҆́ще прїи́детъ къ ва́мъ, прїими́те є҆го̀:
10 Aristarchô, mi compañero en la prisión, os saluda, y Marcos, el sobrino de Bernabé (acerca del cual habéis recibido mandamientos; si fuere á vosotros, recibidle),
11 и҆ і҆исꙋ́съ нарече́нный і҆ꙋ́стъ, сꙋ́щїй ѿ ѡ҆брѣ́занїѧ: сі́и є҆ди́ни споспѣ̑шницы во црⷭ҇тво бж҃їе, и҆̀же бы́ша мѝ ᲂу҆тѣше́нїе.
11 Y Jesús, el que se llama Justo; los cuales son de la circuncisión: éstos solos [son] los que me ayudan en el reino de Dios, [y] me han sido consuelo.
12 Цѣлꙋ́етъ вы̀ є҆пафра́съ, и҆́же ѿ ва́съ, ра́бъ і҆и҃са хрⷭ҇та̀, всегда̀ подвиза́ѧйсѧ ѡ҆ ва́съ въ моли́твахъ, да бꙋ́дете соверше́ни и҆ и҆спо́лнени во всѧ́цѣй во́ли бж҃їей.
12 Os saluda Epafras, el cual es de vosotros, siervo de Cristo, siempre solícito por vosotros en oraciones, para que estéis [firmes], perfectos y cumplidos en todo lo que Dios quiere.
13 Свидѣ́тельствꙋю бо ѡ҆ не́мъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ и҆́мать ре́вность мно́гꙋ (и҆ болѣ́знь) ѡ҆ ва́съ и҆ ѡ҆ сꙋ́щихъ въ лаодїкі́и и҆ во і҆ерапо́ли.
13 Porque le doy testimonio, que tiene gran celo por vosotros, y por los [que están] en Laodicea, y los [que] en Hierápolis.
14 Цѣлꙋ́етъ вы̀ лꙋ́ка вра́чь возлю́бленный, и҆ дима́съ.
14 Os saluda Lucas, el médico amado, y Demas.
15 Цѣлꙋ́йте бра́тїю сꙋ́щꙋю въ лаодїкі́и, и҆ нѷмфа́на, и҆ дома́шнюю є҆гѡ̀ цр҃ковь.
15 Saludad á los hermanos que están en Laodicea, y á Nimfas, y á la iglesia que está en su casa.
16 И҆ є҆гда̀ прочте́тсѧ посла́нїе сїѐ ᲂу҆ ва́съ, сотвори́те, да и҆ въ лаодїкі́йстѣй цр҃кви прочте́но бꙋ́детъ, и҆ напи́саное ѿ лаодїкі́и да и҆ вы̀ прочте́те.
16 Y cuando esta carta fuere leída entre vosotros, haced que también sea leída en la iglesia de los Laodicenses; y la de Laodicea que la leáis también vosotros.
17 И҆ рцы́те а҆рхі́ппꙋ: блюдѝ слꙋже́нїе, є҆́же прїѧ́лъ є҆сѝ ѡ҆ гдⷭ҇ѣ, да доверши́ши є҆̀.
17 Y decid á Archîpo: Mira que cumplas el ministerio que has recibido del Señor.
18 Цѣлова́нїе мое́ю рꙋко́ю па́ѵлею. Помина́йте моѧ̑ ᲂу҆́зы. Блгⷣть со (всѣ́ми) ва́ми. А҆ми́нь.
18 La salutación de mi mano, de Pablo. Acordaos de mis prisiones. La gracia sea con vosotros. Amén. Escrita de Roma á los Colosenses; [enviada] con Tichîco y Onésimo.

What the Fathers said

Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).

How these were chosen

“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).

  1. Commentary 4:5 John Chrysostom, Homilies on Colossians (Homily XI)

    What Christ said to His disciples, that doth Paul also now advise. And what did Christ say? "Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves." (Matt. x. 16.) That is, be upon your guard, giving them no handle against you.

  2. Quotes verse 4:14 Irenaeus of Lyons, Against Heresies (Book III, Chapter XIII)

    And again he says, in the Epistle to the Colossians: "Luke, the beloved physician, greets you." But surely if Luke, who always preached in company with Paul, and is called by him "the beloved," and with him performed the work of an evangelist, and was entrusted to hand down to us a Gospel, learned nothing different from him (Paul), as …

  3. Quotes verse 4:6 John Chrysostom, Homilies on the Gospel of Matthew (Homily XXIII)

    For this very reason He Himself also discoursed much unto the Jews in parables, "because they seeing saw not." For this, Paul likewise commanded "to know how we ought to answer every man."
