Colossians 1
1
1Sha'ul a Shliach of Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Yehoshua through the ratzon Hashem#1:1 Co 1:9 and Timotiyos the Ach b'Moshiach;
2To the Kedoshim in Colossae, the Achim b'Moshiach, the Achim HaNe'emanim. Chen v'Chesed Hashem to you and shalom from Elohim Avinu.
3Hodinu l'Hashem (we give thanks to Hashem) Elohim HaAv of Adoneinu Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Yehoshua, davening always concerning you,
4Having heard of your emunah in Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Yehoshua and the ahavah which you have for all the Kedoshim,
5On account of the tikvah (hope) being laid up for you in Shomayim, the tikvah which you heard of before in the Dvar HaEmes, the Besuras HaGeulah
6That has come to you, as also in all the Olam Hazeh it is bearing p'ri and growing, so also in you, from the day you heard it and began to have saving da'as of the Chen v'Chesed Hashem in actuality.
7This you learned from Epaphras,#1:7 Co 4:12 our chaver and fellow eved, who is ne'eman (faithful), who is a trusted keli kodesh (minister) of Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach for you.
8Epaphras also revealed to us your ahavah in the Ruach Hakodesh.
9Therefore, we also, from the day that we heard, do not cease davening for you and offering tefillos that you be filled with da'as of the ratzon Hashem#1:9 Co 1:1 in all chochmah and binah in the Ruach Hakodesh.
10And this is the purpose: that you walk in hitnahagut (conduct) worthy of Adoneinu in every way pleasing to him in every mitzvoh bearing p'ri in the da'as of Hashem,
11With all ko'ach being empowered according to the gevurah (power) of his kavod for all savlanut (patience) and orech ruach (longsuffering) with lev same'ach (glad heart),
12Giving todot to Elohim HaAv. Elohim HaAv is the One who has qualified you for the share of the allotted nachalah#1:12 Ps 16:5-6 (inheritance) of the Kedoshim in Ohr (Light);
13Elohim HaAv is the One who rescued nafsheinu (our souls) from the memshalet (dominion) of Choshech and transferred us into the Malchut of the Zun fun der Oybershter of His ahavah,
14In whom we have the pedut (redemption, Geulah release on payment of ransom) through the [kapporah] dahm of Moshiach the selicha (forgiveness) of chatoteinu (our sins).
15Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach is the demut#1:15 Gn 1:26-27; Pp 2:6 of the invisible G-d, the Bechor,#1:15 Ps 89:27 the Yoresh (Heir) of kol hanivrah (all creation),
16Because in Him were created all things in Shomayim and on Ha'Aretz, the visible and the nistar (hidden), whether thrones or dominions, whether rulers or authorities, all things through Him and for Him have been created.#1:16 Ps 33:6
17And Moshiach is before all things, and all things in Moshiach have been held together;#1:17 Prov 8:23-27; 30:4
18And Moshiach is the Rosh#1:18 Prov 8:22; 30:4 of the Geviyah (Body),#1:18 Gn 47:18; Ps 16:9-10; Isa 53:11; Job 19:25-27 and the Geviyah#1:18 Dt 21:23 (nevilah) is Moshiachʼs Brit Chadasha Kehillah; Moshiach is its Reshit, the Bechor from the Mesim, that Moshiach might be in everything pre-eminent,#1:18 Ps 89:27
19Because Hashem was pleased that all His fullness have its mishkan (tabernacle) in Moshiach,
20And through Moshiach to bring ritztzuy (reconciliation, cessation of enmity, hostility between a wrathful holy G-d and sinful Bnei Adam) between all things and Himself, having made shalom through the dahm of the kapporah of HaEtz HaMoshiach,#1:20 Dt 21:23; Isa 52:15; Lv 16:15-16 whether the things on HaAretz or the things in HaShomayim.
21And you, once having been alienated and oyvim (enemies) in the mind by ma'asim hara'im (evil deeds),
22Yet now Moshiach reconciled in the Guf (body)#1:22 Co 1:18 of his basar#1:22 Ps 16:9-10 through Moshiachʼs histalkus#1:22 Dan 9:26; Isa 53:8-9 to present you, Kedoshim holy and without mum#1:22 Lv 22:20 (defect) and without reproach before Him,
23Provided you remain in the#1:23 correct Orthodox Jewish Emunah,#1:23 Faith, the Emunah of the true Dat HaYehudit having been founded in it and securely established and not moving away from the tikvah (hope) of the Besuras HaGeulah which you heard, the Besuras HaGeulah which has been proclaimed in kol hanivrah (all creation) under Shomayim, the Besuras HaGeulah of which I, Rav Sha'ul, became a keli kodesh (minister).
24Now with lev same'ach (glad heart) and chedvah (rejoicing) I rejoice in my suffering tzoros on behalf of you. And I am mashlim (supply what is deficient) the things lacking of the Chevlei Moshiach in my basar on behalf of the basar of Moshiach#1:24 Co 1:18 which is the Brit Chadasha Kehillah,
25Of which I became a keli kodesh#1:25 Co 1:23 according to the pekudat Hashem (stewardship of G-d, His shlichus commission) which was given to me for you, to carry to shleimut (wholeness, completion) the Dvar Hashem,
26The raz (mystery) having been hidden from olamim and from dor v'dor, but now made manifest to the Kedoshim of Moshiach,
27To whom Hashem wanted to make hisgalus of what is the spiritual osher of the kavod of this raz among the non-Jews: Moshiach in you, the tikvah of kavod.
28It is Moshiach who is the subject of our hattafah (preaching), warning every man and teaching every man in all chochmah, that we may present every man Bnei Chayil mature in Moshiach.
29For this also I toil, striving according to the hitlahavut (inspiration, enthusiasm) of Him working in me with gevurah.

Colossians 1
1
Salutation
1#2Co 1:1; 1Co 1:1; Php 1:1Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ, by the will of God, and Timothy our brother,
2#Ro 1:7; Eph 1:1To the saints and faithful brothers in Christ who are at Colosse:
Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Thankfulness for the Colossians
3#Eph 1:15We give thanks to God and the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, praying always for you. 4#Gal 5:6; Eph 1:15For we heard of your faith in Christ Jesus and your love for all the saints, 5#Ac 23:6; Eph 1:13because of the hope which is laid up for you in heaven, of which you have already heard in the word of the truth of the gospel, 6#Jn 15:16; Ps 98:3which has come to you, as it has in all the world, and brings forth fruit, as it has also in you, since the day you heard it and knew the grace of God in truth. 7#Col 4:12; Phm 1:23And you also learned of Epaphras, our dear fellow servant, who is a faithful minister of Christ for you, 8#Ro 15:30who also declared to us your love in the Spirit.
The Person and Work of Christ
9#Eph 1:8; 5:17For this reason we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you and to ask that you may be filled with the knowledge of His will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding; 10#Eph 4:1; 1Th 4:1that you may walk in a manner worthy of the Lord, pleasing to all, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God, 11#Eph 4:2; 3:16strengthened with all might according to His glorious power, enduring everything with perseverance and patience joyfully, 12#Ac 20:32; 26:18giving thanks to the Father, who has enabled us to be partakers in the inheritance of the saints in light. 13#Eph 6:12; 1:6He has delivered us from the power of darkness and has transferred us into the kingdom of His dear Son, 14#Eph 1:7in whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins.
15#2Co 4:4; Jn 1:18He is the image of the invisible God and the firstborn of every creature. 16#Jn 1:3; Ro 11:36For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they are thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers. All things were created by Him and for Him. 17#Jn 8:58; Heb 1:3He is before all things, and in Him all things hold together. 18#Ac 26:23; Eph 1:22–23He is the head of the body, the church. He is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, so that in all things He may have the preeminence. 19#Jn 1:16; Col 2:9For it pleased the Father that in Him all fullness should dwell, 20#Eph 1:10; Ro 5:1and to reconcile all things to Himself by Him, having made peace through the blood of His cross, by Him, I say—whether they are things in earth, or things in heaven.
21#Eph 2:12And you, who were formerly alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now He has reconciled 22#Ro 7:4; Eph 5:27in the body of His flesh through death, to present you holy and blameless and above reproach in His sight, 23#Eph 3:17; Mk 16:15if you continue in the faith, grounded and settled, and are not removed from the hope of the gospel, which you have heard, and which was preached to every creature which is under heaven, and of which I, Paul, have become a servant.
Paul’s Ministry to the Church
24#2Ti 1:8; 2Co 7:4Now I rejoice in my sufferings for your sake and fill up in my flesh that which is lacking in the afflictions of Christ, for the sake of His body, which is the church. 25#Eph 3:2; Col 1:23I have been made a servant of it according to the commission of God, which has been given to me for you, to fulfill the word of God, 26#Ro 16:25–26even the mystery which has been hidden from past ages and generations, but now is revealed to His saints. 27#1Ti 1:1; Ro 8:10To them God would make known what is the glorious riches of this mystery among the nations. It is Christ in you, the hope of glory, 28#1Co 2:6; Col 1:22whom we preach, warning everyone and teaching everyone in all wisdom, so that we may present them perfect in Christ Jesus. 29#1Co 15:10; Eph 1:19In this I labor, striving according to His power, which effectively works in me.
