1 Павел, волею Божиею Апостол Иисуса Христа, и Тимофей брат,
1 Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus through the will of God, and Timothy our brother,
2 находящимся в Колоссах святым и верным братиям во Христе Иисусе:
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 благодать вам и мир от Бога Отца нашего и Господа Иисуса Христа. Благодарим Бога и Отца Господа нашего Иисуса Христа, всегда молясь о вас,
3 We give thanks to God the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, praying always for you,
4 услышав о вере вашей во Христа Иисуса и о любви ко всем святым,
4 having heard of your faith in Christ Jesus and of the love which you have toward all the saints,
5 в надежде на уготованное вам на небесах, о чем вы прежде слышали в истинном слове благовествования,
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 которое пребывает у вас, как и во всем мире, и приносит плод, и возрастает, как и между вами, с того дня, как вы услышали и познали благодать Божию в истине,
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 как и научились от Епафраса, возлюбленного сотрудника нашего, верного для вас служителя Христова,
7 even as you learned from Epaphras our beloved fellow servant, who is a faithful servant of Christ on your behalf,
8 который и известил нас о вашей любви в духе.
8 who also declared to us your love in the Spirit.
9 Посему и мы с того дня, как о сем услышали, не перестаем молиться о вас и просить, чтобы вы исполнялись познанием воли Его, во всякой премудрости и разумении духовном,
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 чтобы поступали достойно Бога, во всем угождая Ему, принося плод во всяком деле благом и возрастая в познании Бога,
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 укрепляясь всякою силою по могуществу славы Его, во всяком терпении и великодушии с радостью,
11 strengthened with all power, according to the might of his glory, for all endurance and perseverance with joy,
12 благодаря Бога и Отца, призвавшего нас к участию в наследии святых во свете,
12 giving thanks to the Father, who made us fit to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light,
13 избавившего нас от власти тьмы и введшего в Царство возлюбленного Сына Своего,
13 who delivered us out of the power of darkness, and translated us into the Kingdom of the Son of his love,
14 в Котором мы имеем искупление Кровию Его и прощение грехов,
14 in whom we have our redemption, the forgiveness of our sins.
15 Который есть образ Бога невидимого, рожденный прежде всякой твари;
15 He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation.
16 ибо Им создано все, что на небесах и что на земле, видимое и невидимое: престолы ли, господства ли, начальства ли, власти ли, — все Им и для Него создано;
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 и Он есть прежде всего, и все Им стоит.
17 He is before all things, and in him all things are held together.
18 И Он есть глава тела Церкви; Он — начаток, первенец из мертвых, дабы иметь Ему во всем первенство,
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 ибо благоугодно было Отцу, чтобы в Нем обитала всякая полнота,
19 For all the fullness was pleased to dwell in him,
20 и чтобы посредством Его примирить с Собою все, умиротворив через Него, Кровию креста Его, и земное и небесное.
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 И вас, бывших некогда отчужденными и врагами, по расположению к злым делам,
21 You, being in past times alienated and enemies in your mind in your evil deeds,
22 ныне примирил в теле Плоти Его, смертью Его, чтобы представить вас святыми и непорочными и неповинными пред Собою,
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 если только пребываете тверды и непоколебимы в вере и не отпадаете от надежды благовествования, которое вы слышали, которое возвещено всей твари поднебесной, которого я, Павел, сделался служителем.
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 Ныне радуюсь в страданиях моих за вас и восполняю недостаток в плоти моей скорбей Христовых за Тело Его, которое есть Церковь,
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 которой сделался я служителем по домостроительству Божию, вверенному мне для вас, чтобы исполнить слово Божие,
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 тайну, сокрытую от веков и родов, ныне же открытую святым Его,
26 the mystery which has been hidden for ages and generations. But now it has been revealed to his saints,
27 Которым благоволил Бог показать, какое богатство славы в тайне сей для язычников, которая есть Христос в вас, упование славы,
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 Которого мы проповедуем, вразумляя всякого человека и научая всякой премудрости, чтобы представить всякого человека совершенным во Христе Иисусе;
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 для чего я и тружусь и подвизаюсь силою Его, действующею во мне могущественно.
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?

… bodies: One the Creator of heaven and earth, the Maker of Angels and Archangels: of many the Creator, but of One only the Father before all ages,--of One only, His Only-begotten Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, by Whom He made all things visible and invisible.
