because of the hope prepared for you in heaven. You already heard about this in the good news, the message of truth

that came to you just as it has gone throughout the whole world, spreading widely and bringing results. It's done the same for you too, ever since you heard it and realized the true nature of God's grace.

Our dear friend and fellow-worker Epaphras, who is a trustworthy minister of Christ on our behalf, taught you about this.

Because of this we continue to pray for you from the time we heard about you, asking God to give you understanding of what he wants you to do and to give you every kind of spiritual wisdom and understanding.

That way you'll live lives that rightly represent the Lord and please him, producing all kinds of good results and gaining greater knowledge of God.

He rescued us from the tyranny of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of the Son he loves,
14 ཏསྨཱཏ྄ པུཏྲཱད྄ ཝཡཾ པརིཏྲཱཎམ྄ ཨརྠཏཿ པཱཔམོཙནཾ པྲཱཔྟཝནྟཿ།
through whom we have been set free and our sins forgiven.
15 ས ཙཱདྲྀཤྱསྱེཤྭརསྱ པྲཏིམཱུརྟིཿ ཀྲྀཏྶྣཱཡཱཿ སྲྀཥྚེརཱདིཀརྟྟཱ ཙ།
The Son is the visible picture of the invisible God. He was before all creation,

for everything was created through him—in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, empires, rulers, leaders and authorities—everything was created through him and for him.
17 ས སཪྻྭེཥཱམ྄ ཨཱདིཿ སཪྻྭེཥཱཾ སྠིཏིཀཱརཀཤྩ།
He existed before everything, and he holds everything together.
18 ས ཨེཝ སམིཏིརཱུཔཱཡཱསྟནོ རྨཱུརྡྡྷཱ ཀིཉྩ སཪྻྭཝིཥཡེ ས ཡད྄ ཨགྲིཡོ བྷཝེཏ྄ ཏདརྠཾ ས ཨེཝ མྲྀཏཱནཱཾ མདྷྱཱཏ྄ པྲཐམཏ ཨུཏྠིཏོ྅གྲཤྩ།
He is also the head of the body, the church. He is the beginning, the first and highest of those raised from the dead, so that he is supreme in everything.
19 ཡཏ ཨཱིཤྭརསྱ ཀྲྀཏྶྣཾ པཱུརྞཏྭཾ ཏམེཝཱཝཱསཡིཏུཾ
God was pleased to have his full nature live in him,
20 ཀྲུཤེ པཱཏིཏེན ཏསྱ རཀྟེན སནྡྷིཾ ཝིདྷཱཡ ཏེནཻཝ སྭརྒམརྟྟྱསྠིཏཱནི སཪྻྭཱཎི སྭེན སཧ སནྡྷཱཔཡིཏུཉྩེཤྭརེཎཱབྷིལེཥེ།
and through him brought back everything in the universe to himself, since he made peace through the blood of his cross, through him reconciling all those on the earth and in heaven.
21 པཱུཪྻྭཾ དཱུརསྠཱ དུཥྐྲིཡཱརཏམནསྐཏྭཱཏ྄ ཏསྱ རིཔཝཤྩཱསྟ ཡེ ཡཱུཡཾ ཏཱན྄ ཡུཥྨཱན྄ ཨཔི ས ཨིདཱནཱིཾ ཏསྱ མཱཾསལཤརཱིརེ མརཎེན སྭེན སཧ སནྡྷཱཔིཏཝཱན྄།
You once were alienated from God, enemies in the way you thought and the way you acted,
22 ཡཏཿ ས སྭསམྨུཁེ པཝིཏྲཱན྄ ནིཥྐལངྐཱན྄ ཨནིནྡནཱིཡཱཾཤྩ ཡུཥྨཱན྄ སྠཱཔཡིཏུམ྄ ཨིཙྪཏི།
but now he has reconciled you through his dying human body, bringing you into his presence where you stand holy, pure, and faultless.

But your trust in him must continue rock-solid and immovable. Don't be shaken from the hope of the good news that you heard, the good news that's been shared throughout the world—that's the work that I Paul have been doing.
24 ཏསྱ སུསཾཝཱདསྱཻཀཿ པརིཙཱརཀོ ཡོ྅ཧཾ པཽལཿ སོ྅ཧམ྄ ཨིདཱནཱིམ྄ ཨཱནནྡེན ཡུཥྨདརྠཾ དུཿཁཱནི སཧེ ཁྲཱིཥྚསྱ ཀླེཤབྷོགསྱ ཡོཾཤོ྅པཱུརྞསྟམེཝ ཏསྱ ཏནོཿ སམིཏེཿ ཀྲྀཏེ སྭཤརཱིརེ པཱུརཡཱམི ཙ།
I'm happy to have trouble for your sake, for by means of what happens to me physically I'm part of Christ's sufferings that he continues to experience for the sake of his body, the church.
25 ཡཏ ཨཱིཤྭརསྱ མནྟྲཎཡཱ ཡུཥྨདརྠམ྄ ཨཱིཤྭརཱིཡཝཱཀྱསྱ པྲཙཱརསྱ བྷཱརོ མཡི སམཔིཏསྟསྨཱད྄ ཨཧཾ ཏསྱཱཿ སམིཏེཿ པརིཙཱརཀོ྅བྷཝཾ།
I serve the church following the direction God gave me about you, to present fully the word of God to you.

This is the mystery that was hidden down through the ages and for many generations, but it's now been revealed to God's people. (aiōn g165)

God wanted to make known to them the glorious wealth of this mystery to the nations: Christ living in you is the glorious hope!

We're telling everyone about him, instructing and teaching them in the best way we know how so that we can bring everyone before God fully mature in Christ.

That's what I'm working for too, making every effort as I rely on his strength which is powerfully at work in me.
