歌羅西書  Colossians  1 : 10 -20

1:10 好叫你們行事為人對得起主，凡事蒙他喜悅，在一切善事上結果子，漸漸的多知道　神；
That ye might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God;

1:11 照他榮耀的權能，得以在各樣的力上加力，好叫你們凡事歡歡喜喜的忍耐寬容；
Strengthened with all might, according to his glorious power, unto all patience and longsuffering with joyfulness;
1:12 又感謝父，叫我們能與眾聖徒在光明中同得基業。
Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light:

And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.

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. in...: or, among all

1:19 因為父喜歡叫一切的豐盛在他裡面居住。
For it pleased the Father that in him should all fulness dwell;

And, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto himself; by him, I say , whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven. having...: or, making
