5因爾有望存之於天、卽爾昔於福音之眞道所聞者、Select Colossians 1:5

6此已及爾、亦猶徧及天下、結實而增益、與在爾中無異、自爾聞之之日、而誠知上帝恩也、Select Colossians 1:6

7如爾學於我所愛之同僕以巴弗、彼緣我儕爲基督忠役、Select Colossians 1:7

20且由之使萬有復和於己、乃以其十架之血而致和、在地在天者皆然、Select Colossians 1:20

21夫爾素以惡行、爲異爲敵於心、Select Colossians 1:21

22今因其身之死、致爾復和、維聖、無疵、無咎、薦於其前、Select Colossians 1:22

23惟在爾恆於信、植基而固之、不移乎爾所聞福音之望、卽宣於天下萬人、我保羅爲其役者也、○Select Colossians 1:23
