(Philippians 1:1–2; Philemon 1:1–3)
1
I, Paul, write this to the dear fellow believers in the city of Colossae. This is from Paul, whom God chose to send to you as an apostle of Messiah Jesus, and this letter is also from Timothy, our fellow believer joined to Messiah. We are sending this letter to all of you.
2
We send this letter to those God has set apart for himself, those who are faithful believers who belong to Messiah. We pray that God our Father will give you his kindness and peace.

Thanksgiving and Prayer

(1 Corinthians 1:4–9; Philippians 1:3–11)
3
We often thank God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, while we are praying for you.
4
We give God thanks because we have heard that you trust in Messiah Jesus and that you love all those whom God has set apart for himself.
5
You love our fellow believers because you confidently are waiting for the things God is reserving for you in heaven. You first heard about these things when you heard the true message, the good news about Messiah.
6
Believers are proclaiming this good news that you heard in Colossae to everyone in the world. It is just as it has worked in you also, from the first day you heard it and understood how truly kind God is. The good news is like a field planted with crops that are growing and will give a very large harvest.
7
Epaphras taught you the good news. We love him because he serves Messiah together with us and works for Messiah faithfully in our place.
8
He told us that you love all God’s people because God’s Spirit has empowered you to love God and others.
9
Since the time we heard about how you love, we have always been praying for you. We ask God to show you everything he wants you to do, and to make you wise so that you will understand what God’s Spirit is teaching you.
10
We pray that you will live in a way that will help others honor the Lord also, so that he will approve of you. We pray that you will grow to understand God more and do every good thing that he tells you to do.
11
We pray that God will strengthen you with all his mighty power, so that you will patiently endure every difficulty.
12
We pray that you will be rejoicing and thanking God our Father, because he has declared you worthy to be with the others whom he has set apart for himself; this is so he can give you all the things that he is keeping for you when you are with him in the light of his presence.
13
God our Father has rescued us from the evil that controlled us; he has made his Son, whom he loves, to rule over us now.
14
By means of his Son he has set us free from that evil; that is, he has forgiven our sins.

The Supremacy of the Son

(Hebrews 1:1–14)
15
When we know the Son, we know what God is like, even though we cannot see him. The Son has first place over everything that he has created.
16
For the Son created all things, as the Father desired him to do: Everything in the sky and everything on earth, everything that we can see and everything that we cannot see, such as angelic beings of all kinds and powers and authorities, all things exist because the Son created them because the Father wanted him to. And they exist for him.
17
The Son himself existed before anything else, and he holds everything together.
18
He rules all believers, the church, like a person’s head rules his body. He rules over the church because he started it. He was the first person to come back to life with a perfect body. So he is greater than every thing.
19
God the Father was pleased to make everything he is to live in Messiah.
20
It also pleased God to bring everything back to himself in peace through Jesus. God offered peace to all people and all things everywhere on earth and in heaven. He did this by causing the Son to die on the cross as a sacrifice, shedding his blood as he died.
21
Before you believed in Messiah, God considered you his enemies, and you were unfriendly to God because you thought evil thoughts and because you did evil deeds.
22
But now God has offered peace between yourselves and himself and has made you his friends. He did this when Jesus gave up his body and life for us by dying. This made it possible for us to belong to God; he finds nothing wrong in us now, nothing to blame us for.
23
But you must continue to trust Messiah completely; then you will be like a house that they built on solid rock. Do not for any reason stop believing in what God has promised to do for you in the good news that people all over the world have heard. This is the same good news that I, Paul, am serving God by proclaiming to people.

Paul’s Suffering for the Church

(2 Corinthians 11:16–33)
24
Now I rejoice that I am suffering for your benefit. Yes, in order to help the church, which is like Messiah’s body, I suffer things that must still happen.
25
God made me his servant and gave to me special work to do, which is to proclaim the full message of God to non-Jewish people like you.
26
From ancient times, for generations, God did not tell this good news, but now he has revealed this mystery to those whom he has set apart for himself.
27
It is to these people, Jews and non-Jews like yourselves just as much, that God planned to tell this wonderful secret. It is this: Messiah will live in you and make you confidently expect to share in God’s glory!
28
We are wisely warning and teaching every person about Messiah so that we might bring into God’s presence each one as knowing God completely, joined to Messiah.
29
It is to do this that I work my hardest, because Messiah is giving me strength.

Gruß

(Philipper 1,1-2; Philemon 1,1-3)
1
Paulus, Apostel Jesu Christi durch den Willen Gottes, und Timotheus, der Bruder,
2
den Heiligen und gläubigen Brüdern in Christus Jesus zu Kolossä.

Ihr Glaube an Christus

(1. Korinther 1,4-9; Philipper 1,3-11)
3
Gnade sei euch und Friede von Gott, unserm Vater, und dem Herrn Jesus Christus. Wir danken Gott und dem Vater unsers Jesus Christus immerdar, für euch betend,
4
da wir von eurem Glauben an Christus Jesus, und von der Liebe, die ihr zu allen Heiligen hegt, gehört haben,
5
um der Hoffnung willen, die euch im Himmel aufbehalten ist, von welcher ihr gehört habt und das Wort der Wahrheit des Evangeliums,
6
welches zu euch gekommen ist, wie es auch in der ganzen Welt ist. Und es bringt Frucht und nimmt zu, ebenso wie unter euch, von dem Tage an, da ihr gehört und die Gnade Gottes in Wahrheit erkannt habt,
7
so wie ihr sie ja von Epaphras gelernt habt, unserm geliebten Mitdiener, welcher ein treuer Diener Christi Jesu für euch ist,
8
der uns auch eure Liebe im Geiste kundgetan hat.

Die Vorrangstellung Christi

9
Deshalb hören auch wir von dem Tage an, da wir es vernommen haben, nicht auf, für euch zu beten und zu bitten, dass ihr erfüllt werden möget mit der Erkenntnis seines Willens in aller geistigen Weisheit und Einsicht,
10
dass ihr Gottes würdig wandelt, ihm in allem wohlgefällig, indem ihr an jeglichem guten Werke Frucht bringt und wachset in der Erkenntnis Gottes;
11
mit aller Kraft gestärkt, nach der Macht seiner Herrlichkeit, zu aller Standhaftigkeit und Langmut, mit Freuden,
12
indem wir Gott, dem Vater, Dank sagen, der uns würdig gemacht hat, Teil zu nehmen am Erbe der Heiligen im Lichte;
13
welcher uns aus der Gewalt der Finsternis befreit und in das Reich des Sohnes seiner Liebe versetzt hat,
14
in welchem wir die Erlösung haben durch sein Blut, die Vergebung der Sünden;
(Hebräer 1,1-14)
15
welcher das Ebenbild Gottes ist, des Unsichtbaren, der Erstgeborene vor aller Schöpfung;
16
denn in ihm ist alles erschaffen, was im Himmel und was auf Erden ist, das Sichtbare und das Unsichtbare, seien es Throne oder Herrschaften, oder Fürstentümer oder Gewalten, alles ist durch ihn und für ihn geschaffen;
17
und er ist vor allen, und alles hat seinen Bestand in ihm.
18
Und er ist das Haupt des Leibes der Kirche, er, der da ist der Anfang, der Erstgeborne von den Toten, damit er in allem den Vorrang habe;

Versöhnt in Christus

19
denn in ihm gefiel es Gott, die ganze Fülle wohnen zu lassen,
20
und durch ihn alles mit sich zu versöhnen, indem er Frieden stiftete durch das Blut seines Kreuzes, sowohl was auf der Erde, als was im Himmel ist.
21
Auch euch, die ihr ehedem entfremdet und feindlich gesinnt waret in bösen Werken,
22
hat er jetzt versöhnt in dem Leibe seines Fleisches durch den Tod, um euch heilig und unbefleckt und unsträflich darzustellen vor ihm;
23
wenn ihr anders im Glauben beharret, festgegründet und beständig, und euch nicht wankend machen lasset in der Hoffnung des Evangeliums, welches ihr gehört habt, das verkündigt worden ist in der ganzen Schöpfung unter dem Himmel, dessen Diener ich, Paulus, geworden bin.

Aufopferungsvoller Dienst für Christus

(2. Korinther 11,16-33)
24
Jetzt freue ich mich in den Leiden für euch, und ergänze das an meinem Fleische, was an den Leiden Christi noch mangelt für seinen Leib, welcher die Kirche ist,
25
deren Diener ich geworden bin nach Gottes Veranstaltung, die mir für euch zuerteilt ward, das Wort Gottes voll zu machen,
26
das Geheimnis, welches von Ewigkeit und Alters her verborgen war, jetzt aber seinen Heiligen offenbart worden ist,
27
denen Gott kundtun wollte, welches der Reichtum der Herrlichkeit dieses Geheimnisses unter den Heiden sei, das ist Christus, der in euch die Hoffnung der Herrlichkeit ist,
28
welchen wir verkündigen, indem wir jedermann ermahnen und jedermann belehren in aller Weisheit, damit wir jedermann vollkommen in Christus Jesus darstellen;
29
wofür ich mich auch mühe, kämpfend vermöge seiner Wirksamkeit, die in mir in Kraft schafft.
