Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, and Timothy our brother,

¹

(Заⷱ҇ ©м҃ѳ҃.) Па́ѵелъ, а҆пⷭ҇лъ і҆и҃съ хрⷭ҇то́въ во́лею бж҃їею, и҆ тїмоѳе́й бра́тъ,

²

to the saints and faithful brethren in Christ that are at Colossae: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

²

сꙋ́щымъ въ колосса́ехъ ст҃ы̑мъ и҆ вѣ̑рнымъ бра́тїѧмъ ѡ҆ хрⷭ҇тѣ̀ і҆и҃сѣ:

³

We give thanks to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, praying always for you,

³

(Заⷱ҇.) блгⷣть ва́мъ и҆ ми́ръ ѿ бг҃а ѻ҆ц҃а̀ на́шегѡ, и҆ гдⷭ҇а і҆и҃са хрⷭ҇та̀. Благодари́мъ бг҃а и҆ ѻ҆ц҃а̀ гдⷭ҇а на́шегѡ і҆и҃са хрⷭ҇та̀, всегда̀ ѡ҆ ва́съ молѧ́щесѧ,

⁴

having heard of your faith in Christ Jesus, and of your love toward all the saints,

⁴

слы́шавше вѣ́рꙋ ва́шꙋ, ꙗ҆́же ѡ҆ хрⷭ҇тѣ̀ і҆и҃сѣ, и҆ любо́вь, ю҆́же и҆́мате ко всѣ̑мъ ст҃ы́мъ,

⁵

because of the hope which is laid up for you in the heavens, whereof ye heard before in the word of the truth of the gospel,

⁵

за оу҆пова́нїе ѿложе́нное ва́мъ на нб҃сѣ́хъ, є҆́же пре́жде слы́шасте въ словесѝ и҆́стины бл҃говѣствова́нїѧ,

⁶

which is come unto you; even as it is also in all the world, and is bearing fruit, as it doth in you also, since the day ye heard and knew the grace of God in truth;

⁶

сꙋ́щагѡ въ ва́съ, ꙗ҆́коже и҆ во все́мъ мі́рѣ: и҆ є҆́сть плодоно́сно и҆ расти́мо, ꙗ҆́коже и҆ въ ва́съ, ѿ негѡ́же днѐ слы́шасте и҆ разꙋмѣ́сте блгⷣть бж҃їю во и҆́стинѣ:

⁷

even as ye also learned of Epaphras our beloved fellow servant, who is a faithful minister of Christ on your behalf,

⁷

ꙗ҆́коже и҆ оу҆вѣ́дѣсте ѿ є҆пафра́са, возлю́бленнагѡ сорабо́тника на́шегѡ, и҆́же є҆́сть вѣ́ренъ ѡ҆ ва́съ слꙋжи́тель хрⷭ҇то́въ,

⁸

who also declared unto us your love in the Spirit.

⁸

и҆́же и҆ ꙗ҆вѝ на́мъ ва́шꙋ любо́вь въ дꙋ́сѣ.

⁹

For this cause we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray and make request for you, that ye may be filled with the knowledge of his will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding,

⁹

Сегѡ̀ ра́ди и҆ мы̀, ѿ негѡ́же днѐ слы́шахомъ, не престае́мъ ѡ҆ ва́съ молѧ́щесѧ и҆ просѧ́ще, да и҆спо́лнитесѧ въ ра́зꙋмѣ во́ли є҆гѡ̀, во всѧ́цѣй премꙋ́дрости и҆ ра́зꙋмѣ дꙋхо́внѣмъ,

¹⁰

that ye may walk worthily of the Lord unto all pleasing, bearing fruit in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God;

¹⁰

ꙗ҆́кѡ ходи́ти ва́мъ досто́инѣ бг҃ꙋ во всѧ́цѣмъ оу҆гожде́нїи (и҆) всѧ́цѣмъ дѣ́лѣ бла́зѣ, плодоносѧ́ще и҆ возраста́юще въ ра́зꙋмѣ бж҃їи,

¹¹

strengthened with all power, according to the might of his glory, unto all patience and long-suffering with joy;

¹¹

всѧ́кою си́лою возмога́юще по держа́вѣ сла́вы є҆гѡ̀, во всѧ́цѣмъ терпѣ́нїи и҆ долготерпѣ́нїи съ ра́достїю,

¹²

giving thanks unto the Father, who made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light;

¹²

(Заⷱ҇ ©н҃.) благодарѧ́ще бг҃а и҆ ѻ҆ц҃а̀, призва́вшаго ва́съ въ прича́стїе наслѣ́дїѧ ст҃ы́хъ во свѣ́тѣ,

¹³

who delivered us out of the power of darkness, and translated us into the kingdom of the Son of his love;

¹³

и҆́же и҆зба́ви на́съ ѿ вла́сти те́мныѧ и҆ преста́ви въ црⷭ҇тво сн҃а любвѐ своеѧ̀,

¹⁴

in whom we have our redemption, the forgiveness of our sins:

¹⁴

ѡ҆ не́мже и҆́мамы и҆збавле́нїе кро́вїю є҆гѡ̀ и҆ ѡ҆ставле́нїе грѣ́хѡвъ,

¹⁵

who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation;

¹⁵

и҆́же є҆́сть ѡ҆́бразъ бг҃а неви́димагѡ, перворожде́нъ всеѧ̀ тва́ри:

¹⁶

for by him were all things created, things in the heavens and things upon the earth, things visible and things invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers; all things have been created through him, and unto him;

¹⁶

ꙗ҆́кѡ тѣ́мъ создана̑ бы́ша всѧ́чєскаѧ, ꙗ҆̀же на нб҃сѝ и҆ ꙗ҆̀же на землѝ, ви̑димаѧ и҆ неви̑димаѧ, а҆́ще престо́ли, а҆́ще госпѡ́дствїѧ, а҆́ще нача́ла, а҆́ще вла́сти: всѧ́чєскаѧ тѣ́мъ и҆ ѡ҆ не́мъ созда́шасѧ:

¹⁷

and he is before all things, and in him all things consist.

¹⁷

и҆ то́й є҆́сть пре́жде всѣ́хъ, и҆ всѧ́чєскаѧ въ не́мъ состоѧ́тсѧ.

¹⁸

And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence.

¹⁸

(Заⷱ҇ ©н҃а҃.) И҆ то́й є҆́сть глава̀ тѣ́лꙋ цр҃кве, и҆́же є҆́сть нача́токъ, перворожде́нъ и҆з̾ ме́ртвыхъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ да бꙋ́детъ во всѣ́хъ то́й пе́рвенствꙋѧ:

¹⁹

For it was the good pleasure of the Father that in him should all the fullness dwell;

¹⁹

ꙗ҆́кѡ въ не́мъ благоизво́ли всемꙋ̀ и҆сполне́нїю всели́тисѧ,

²⁰

and through him to reconcile all things unto himself, having made peace through the blood of his cross; through him, I say, whether things upon the earth, or things in the heavens.

²⁰

и҆ тѣ́мъ примири́ти всѧ́чєскаѧ къ себѣ̀, оу҆миротвори́въ кро́вїю крⷭ҇та̀ є҆гѡ̀, чрез̾ него̀, а҆́ще земна̑ѧ, а҆́ще ли нбⷭ҇наѧ.

²¹

And you, being in time past alienated and enemies in your mind in your evil works,

²¹

И҆ ва́съ, и҆ногда̀ сꙋ́щихъ ѿчꙋжде́нныхъ и҆ врагѡ́въ помышле́ньми въ дѣ́лѣхъ лꙋка́выхъ,

²²

yet now hath he reconciled in the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and without blemish and unreprovable before him:

²²

нн҃ѣ же примирѝ въ тѣ́лѣ пло́ти є҆гѡ̀ сме́ртїю є҆гѡ̀, предста́вити ва́съ ст҃ы́хъ и҆ непоро́чныхъ и҆ непови́нныхъ пред̾ собо́ю,

²³

if so be that ye continue in the faith, grounded and steadfast, and not moved away from the hope of the gospel which ye heard, which was preached in all the creation under heaven; whereof I Paul was made a minister.

²³

а҆́ще оу҆̀бо пребыва́ете въ вѣ́рѣ ѡ҆снова́ни и҆ тве́рди, и҆ неподви́жими ѿ оу҆пова́нїѧ бл҃говѣствова́нїѧ, є҆́же слы́шасте, проповѣ́данное все́й тва́ри поднебе́снѣй, є҆мꙋ́же бы́хъ а҆́зъ па́ѵелъ слꙋжи́тель.

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 church;

²⁴

(Заⷱ҇ ©н҃в҃.) Нн҃ѣ ра́дꙋюсѧ во страда́нїихъ мои́хъ ѡ҆ ва́съ, ꙗ҆́кѡ и҆сполнѧ́ю лише́нїе скорбе́й хрⷭ҇то́выхъ во пло́ти мое́й за тѣ́ло є҆гѡ̀, є҆́же є҆́сть цр҃ковь,

²⁵

whereof I was made a minister, according to the dispensation of God which was given me to you-ward, to fulfill the word of God,

²⁵

є҆́йже бы́хъ а҆́зъ слꙋжи́тель по смотре́нїю бж҃їю, да́нномꙋ мнѣ̀ въ ва́съ, и҆спо́лнити сло́во бж҃їе,

²⁶

even the mystery which hath been hidden for ages and generations: but now hath been manifested to his saints,

²⁶

та́йнꙋ сокрове́ннꙋю ѿ вѣ̑къ и҆ ѿ родѡ́въ: нн҃ѣ же ꙗ҆ви́сѧ ст҃ы́мъ є҆гѡ̀,

²⁷

to whom God was pleased to make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:

²⁷

и҆̀мже восхотѣ̀ бг҃ъ сказа́ти, ко́е бога́тство сла́вы та́йны сеѧ̀ во ꙗ҆зы́цѣхъ, и҆́же є҆́сть хрⷭ҇то́съ въ ва́съ, оу҆пова́нїе сла́вы,

²⁸

whom we proclaim, admonishing every man and teaching every man in all wisdom, that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus;

²⁸

є҆го́же мы̀ проповѣ́дꙋемъ, наказꙋ́юще всѧ́каго человѣ́ка и҆ оу҆ча́ще всѧ́цѣй премꙋ́дрости, да предста́вимъ всѧ́каго человѣ́ка соверше́нна ѡ҆ хрⷭ҇тѣ̀ і҆и҃сѣ:

²⁹

whereunto I labor also, striving according to his working, which worketh in me mightily.

²⁹

въ не́мже и҆ трꙋжда́юсѧ и҆ подвиза́юсѧ по дѣ́йствꙋ є҆гѡ̀ дѣ́йствꙋемомꙋ во мнѣ̀ си́лою.
