⚠️ The Chinese and English alongside are the CUV and the WEB, both translated from the Masoretic Text; they follow a different textual tradition from the Greek and Latin shown here and will disagree in places.

which has come to you, even as it is in all the world and is bearing fruit and growing, as it does in you also, since the day you heard and knew the grace of God in truth,
For this cause, we also, since the day we heard this, don’t cease praying and making requests for you, that you may be filled with the knowledge of his will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding,
For by him all things were created in the heavens and on the earth, visible things and invisible things, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things have been created through him and for him.
He is the head of the body, the assembly, who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in all things he might have the preeminence.
他也是教會全體之首。他是元始,是從死裏首先復生的,使他可以在凡事上居首位。

ወአንትሙሂትካትፀሩወነኪሩበልብክሙወበእከየምግባሪክሙ።
You, being in past times alienated and enemies in your mind in your evil deeds,
if it is so that you continue in the faith, grounded and steadfast, and not moved away from the hope of the Good News which you heard, which was proclaimed in all creation under heaven, of which I, Paul, was made a servant.
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 assembly,
現在我為你們受苦,倒覺歡樂;並且為基督的身體,就是為教會,要在我肉身上補滿基督患難的缺欠。
1:25
እንተላቲተሠየምኩአነላእከበሥርዐተእግዚአብሔርዘወሀበኒበእንቲኣክሙ።
of which I was made a servant according to the stewardship of God which was given me toward you to fulfill the word of God,
