1 παυλος, αποστολος ιησου χριστου δια θεληματος θεου, και τιμοθεος ο αδελφος,
1 PABLO, apóstol de Jesucristo por la voluntad de Dios, y el hermano Timoteo,
1 Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus through the will of God, and Timothy our brother,
2 τοις εν κολασσαις αγιοις και πιστοις αδελφοις εν χριστω· χαρις υμιν και ειρηνη απο θεου πατρος ημων και κυριου ιησου χριστου.
2 A los santos y hermanos fieles en Cristo que están en Colosas: Gracia y paz á vosotros de Dios Padre nuestro, y del Señor Jesucristo.
2 to the saints and faithful brothers in Christ at Colossae: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
3 ευχαριστουμεν τω θεω και πατρι του κυριου ημων ιησου χριστου παντοτε περι υμων προσευχομενοι,
3 Damos gracias al Dios y Padre del Señor nuestro Jesucristo, siempre orando por vosotros:
3 We give thanks to God the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, praying always for you,
4 ακουσαντες την πιστιν υμων εν χριστω ιησου και την αγαπην την εις παντας τους αγιους,
4 Habiendo oído vuestra fe en Cristo Jesús, y el amor que tenéis á todos los santos,
4 having heard of your faith in Christ Jesus and of the love which you have toward all the saints,
5 δια την ελπιδα την αποκειμενην υμιν εν τοις ουρανοις, ην προηκουσατε εν τω λογω της αληθειας του ευαγγελιου
5 A causa de la esperanza que os está guardada en los cielos, de la cual habéis oído ya por la palabra verdadera del evangelio:
5 because of the hope which is laid up for you in the heavens, of which you heard before in the word of the truth of the Good News
6 του παροντος εις υμας, καθως και εν παντι τω κοσμω, και εστιν καρποφορουμενον και αυξανομενον καθως και εν υμιν, αφ ης ημερας ηκουσατε και επεγνωτε την χαριν του θεου εν αληθεια,
6 El cual ha llegado hasta vosotros, como por todo el mundo; y fructifica y crece, como también en vosotros, desde el día que oísteis y conocisteis la gracia de Dios en verdad,
6 which has come to you, even as it is in all the world and is bearing fruit and growing, as it does in you also, since the day you heard and knew the grace of God in truth,
7 καθως και εμαθετε απο επαφρα του αγαπητου συνδουλου ημων, ος εστιν πιστος υπερ υμων διακονος του χριστου,
7 Como habéis aprendido de Epafras, nuestro consiervo amado, el cual es un fiel ministro de Cristo á favor vuestro;
7 even as you learned from Epaphras our beloved fellow servant, who is a faithful servant of Christ on your behalf,
8 ο και δηλωσας ημιν την υμων αγαπην εν πνευματι.
8 El cual también nos ha declarado vuestro amor en el Espíritu.
8 who also declared to us your love in the Spirit.
9 δια τουτο και ημεις, αφ ης ημερας ηκουσαμεν, ου παυομεθα υπερ υμων προσευχομενοι και αιτουμενοι ινα πληρωθητε την επιγνωσιν του θεληματος αυτου εν παση σοφια και συνεσει πνευματικη,
9 Por lo cual también nosotros, desde el día que [lo] oímos, no cesamos de orar por vosotros, y de pedir que seáis llenos del conocimiento de su voluntad, en toda sabiduría y espiritual inteligencia;
9 For this cause, we also, since the day we heard this, don’t cease praying and making requests for you, that you may be filled with the knowledge of his will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding,
10 περιπατησαι υμας αξιως του κυριου εις πασαν αρεσκειαν, εν παντι εργω αγαθω καρποφορουντες και αυξανομενοι εις την επιγνωσιν του θεου,
10 Para que andéis como es digno del Señor, agradándo[le] en todo, fructificando en toda buena obra, y creciendo en el conocimiento de Dios:
10 that you may walk worthily of the Lord, to please him in all respects, bearing fruit in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God,
11 εν παση δυναμει δυναμουμενοι κατα το κρατος της δοξης αυτου εις πασαν υπομονην και μακροθυμιαν, μετα χαρας
11 Corroborados de toda fortaleza, conforme á la potencia de su gloria, para toda tolerancia y largura de ánimo con gozo;
11 strengthened with all power, according to the might of his glory, for all endurance and perseverance with joy,
12 ευχαριστουντες τω [θεω και] πατρι τω ικανωσαντι ημας εις την μεριδα του κληρου των αγιων εν τω φωτι,
12 Dando gracias al Padre que nos hizo aptos para participar de la suerte de los santos en luz:
12 giving thanks to the Father, who made us fit to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light,
13 ος ερρυσατο ημας εκ της εξουσιας του σκοτους και μετεστησεν εις την βασιλειαν του υιου της αγαπης αυτου,
13 Que nos ha librado de la potestad de las tinieblas, y trasladado al reino de su amado Hijo;
13 who delivered us out of the power of darkness, and translated us into the Kingdom of the Son of his love,
14 εν ω εχομεν την απολυτρωσιν, την αφεσιν των αμαρτιων·
14 En el cual tenemos redención por su sangre, la remisión de pecados:
14 in whom we have our redemption, the forgiveness of our sins.
15 ος εστιν εικων του θεου του αορατου, πρωτοτοκος πασης κτισεως,
15 El cual es la imagen del Dios invisible, el primogénito de toda criatura.
15 He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation.
16 οτι εν αυτω εκτισθη τα παντα, τα εν τοις ουρανοις και τα επι της γης, τα ορατα και τα αορατα, ειτε θρονοι ειτε κυριοτητες ειτε αρχαι ειτε εξουσιαι· τα παντα δι αυτου και εις αυτον εκτισται·
16 Porque por él fueron criadas todas las cosas que [están] en los cielos, y que [están] en la tierra, visibles é invisibles; sean tronos, sean dominios, sean principados, sean potestades; todo fué criado por él y para él.
16 For by him all things were created in the heavens and on the earth, visible things and invisible things, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things have been created through him and for him.
17 και αυτος εστιν προ παντων, και τα παντα εν αυτω συνεστηκεν,
17 Y él es antes de todas las cosas, y por él todas las cosas subsisten:
17 He is before all things, and in him all things are held together.
18 και αυτος εστιν η κεφαλη του σωματος, της εκκλησιας· ος εστιν αρχη, πρωτοτοκος εκ των νεκρων, ινα γενηται εν πασιν αυτος πρωτευων,
18 Y él es la cabeza del cuerpo [que es] la iglesia; [él] que es el principio, el primogénito de los muertos, para que en todo tenga el primado.
18 He is the head of the body, the assembly, who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in all things he might have the preeminence.
19 οτι εν αυτω ευδοκησεν παν το πληρωμα κατοικησαι
19 Por cuanto agradó [al Padre] que en él habitase toda plenitud,
19 For all the fullness was pleased to dwell in him,
20 και δι αυτου αποκαταλλαξαι τα παντα εις αυτον, ειρηνοποιησας δια του αιματος του σταυρου αυτου, δι αυτου ειτε τα επι της γης ειτε τα εν τοις ουρανοις.
20 Y por él reconciliar todas las cosas á sí, pacificando por la sangre de su cruz, así lo que [está] en la tierra como lo que [está] en los cielos.
20 and through him to reconcile all things to himself by him, whether things on the earth or things in the heavens, having made peace through the blood of his cross.
21 και υμας ποτε οντας απηλλοτριωμενους και εχθρους τη διανοια εν τοις εργοις τοις πονηροις, νυνι δε αποκατηλλαξεν
21 A vosotros también, que erais en otro tiempo extraños y enemigos de ánimo en malas obras, ahora empero [os] ha reconciliado
21 You, being in past times alienated and enemies in your mind in your evil deeds,
22 εν τω σωματι της σαρκος αυτου δια του θανατου, παραστησαι υμας αγιους και αμωμους και ανεγκλητους κατενωπιον αυτου,
22 En el cuerpo de su carne por medio de muerte, para haceros santos, y sin mancha, é irreprensibles delante de él:
22 yet now he has reconciled in the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and without defect and blameless before him,
23 ει γε επιμενετε τη πιστει τεθεμελιωμενοι και εδραιοι και μη μετακινουμενοι απο της ελπιδος του ευαγγελιου ου ηκουσατε, του κηρυχθεντος εν παση τη κτισει τη υπο τον ουρανον, ου εγενομην εγω παυλος διακονος.
23 Si empero permanecéis fundados y firmes en la fe, y sin moveros de la esperanza del evangelio que habéis oído; el cual es predicado á toda criatura que está debajo del cielo; del cual yo Pablo soy hecho ministro.
23 if it is so that you continue in the faith, grounded and steadfast, and not moved away from the hope of the Good News which you heard, which was proclaimed in all creation under heaven, of which I, Paul, was made a servant.
24 νυν χαιρω εν τοις παθημασιν [μου] υπερ υμων και ανταναπληρω τα υστερηματα των θλιψεων του χριστου εν τη σαρκι μου υπερ του σωματος αυτου, ο εστιν η εκκλησια,
24 Que ahora me gozo en lo que padezco por vosotros, y cumplo en mi carne lo que falta de las aflicciones de Cristo por su cuerpo, que es la iglesia;
24 Now I rejoice in my sufferings for your sake, and fill up on my part that which is lacking of the afflictions of Christ in my flesh for his body’s sake, which is the assembly,
25 ης εγενομην εγω διακονος κατα την οικονομιαν του θεου την δοθεισαν μοι εις υμας, πληρωσαι τον λογον του θεου,
25 De la cual soy hecho ministro, según la dispensación de Dios que me fué dada en orden á vosotros, para que cumpla la palabra de Dios;
25 of which I was made a servant according to the stewardship of God which was given me toward you to fulfill the word of God,
26 το μυστηριον το αποκεκρυμμενον απο των αιωνων και απο των γενεων, νυνι δε εφανερωθη τοις αγιοις αυτου,
26 [A saber], el misterio que había estado oculto desde los siglos y edades, mas ahora ha sido manifestado á sus santos:
26 the mystery which has been hidden for ages and generations. But now it has been revealed to his saints,
27 οις ηθελησεν ο θεος γνωρισαι τις ο πλουτος της δοξης του μυστηριου τουτου εν τοις εθνεσιν, ος εστιν χριστος εν υμιν, η ελπις της δοξης·
27 A los cuales quiso Dios hacer notorias las riquezas de la gloria de este misterio entre los Gentiles; que es Cristo en vosotros la esperanza de gloria:
27 to whom God was pleased to make known what are the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.
28 ον ημεις καταγγελλομεν νουθετουντες παντα ανθρωπον και διδασκοντες παντα ανθρωπον εν παση σοφια, ινα παραστησωμεν παντα ανθρωπον τελειον εν χριστω ιησου·
28 El cual nosotros anunciamos, amonestando á todo hombre, y enseñando en toda sabiduría, para que presentemos á todo hombre perfecto en Cristo Jesús:
28 We proclaim him, admonishing every man and teaching every man in all wisdom, that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus;
29 εις ο και κοπιω αγωνιζομενος κατα την ενεργειαν αυτου την ενεργουμενην εν εμοι εν δυναμει.
29 En lo cual aun trabajo, combatiendo según la operación de él, la cual obra en mí poderosamente.
29 for which I also labor, striving according to his working, which works in me mightily.

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).
Holy indeed are all the Epistles of Paul: but some advantage have those which he sent after he was in bonds: those, for instance, to the Ephesians and Philemon: that to Timothy, that to the Philippians, and the one before us: for this also was sent when he was a prisoner, since he writes in it thus: "for which I …

This being was endowed with all power by the Father, who placed everything under his authority, the Æons doing so likewise, so that "by him were all things, visible and invisible, created, thrones, divinities, dominions." He then was sent to her along with his contemporary angels.
But yet the Scripture hath not declared that God made this formlessness, any more than it hath declared many other things; as the Cherubim,' and Seraphim,' and those of which the apostle distinctly speaks, Thrones,' Dominions,' Principalities,' Powers,' all of which it is manifest God made.

For in proof that He meant this, and that before the taking of Jerusalem the gospel was preached, hear what Paul saith, "Their sound went into all the earth;" and again, "The gospel which was preached to every creature which is under Heaven." And seest thou him running from Jerusalem unto Spain?
