Joille
Jumala tahtoi tehdä tiettäväksi, kuinka suuri pakanain keskuudessa on tämän
salaisuuden kirkkaus: Kristus teissä, kirkkauden toivo.
28 Ja häntä me julistamme, neuvoen jokaista ihmistä ja opettaen jokaista
ihmistä kaikella viisaudella, asettaaksemme esiin jokaisen ihmisen täydellisenä
Kristuksessa.
Kol 1:27-28 Heille Jumala tahtoi antaa tiedoksi,
miten valtava on pakanakansojen
keskuudessa tämän salaisuuden kirkkaus:
Kristus teissä, kirkkauden toivo. Room. 9:23; 2. Kor. 2:14
28. Häntä me julistamme neuvoen ja
opettaen jokaista ihmistä kaikella viisaudella,
asettaaksemme esiin jokaisen
ihmisen täydellisenä Kristuksessa. 2. Kor. 11:2; Ef. 4:13, 5:27
Colossians
1:27-28Amplified Bible (AMP)
27 God [in His eternal plan] chose to make known to them how great for the
Gentiles are the riches of the glory of this mystery, which is Christ in and
among you, the hope and guarantee of [realizing the] glory. 28 We
proclaim Him, warning and instructing everyone in all wisdom [that is, with
comprehensive insight into the word and purposes of God], so that we may
present every person complete in Christ [mature, fully trained, and perfect in
Him—the Anointed].
Colossians
1:27-29The Message (MSG)
26-29 This mystery has been kept in the dark for a long time, but now it’s out in
the open. God wanted everyone, not just Jews, to know this rich and glorious
secret inside and out, regardless of their background, regardless of their
religious standing. The mystery in a nutshell is just this: Christ is in you,
so therefore you can look forward to sharing in God’s glory. It’s that simple.
That is the substance of our Message. We preach Christ, warning people
not to add to the Message. We teach in a spirit of profound common sense so
that we can bring each person to maturity. To be mature is to be basic. Christ!
No more, no less. That’s what I’m working so hard at day after day, year after
year, doing my best with the energy God so generously gives me.
Colossians
1:27-28Living Bible (TLB)
26-27 He has kept this secret for centuries and generations
past, but now at last it has pleased him to tell it to those who love him and
live for him, and the riches and glory of his plan are for you Gentiles, too.
And this is the secret: Christ in your hearts is your only hope of glory.
28 So everywhere we go we talk about Christ to all who will listen, warning
them and teaching them as well as we know how. We want to be able to present
each one to God, perfect because of what Christ has done for each of them.
