Kolose 1:24–2:3

²⁴ Ou te fiafia i loʻu mafatia mo oe i le taimi nei, ma i loʻu lava tino e faʻamalieina ai mea faigata uma e tatau ona oʻo i ai Keriso ona o lona tino., le Ekalesia,

²⁵ lea na avea ai aʻu ma auauna ma le tiute tauave iā te outou na tuuina mai e le Atua iā te aʻu, o le faataunuuina o le feau a le Atua,

²⁶ o le fe'au sa natia i augatupulaga ma seneturi ma ua faaalia mai nei i ona tagata paia..

²⁷ O le finagalo o le Atua e faailoa atu iā i latou le matuā tele o le mamalu o lenei mea lilo i nuu ese; o Keriso ia te outou, lou faamoemoe i le mamalu:

²⁸ o le Keriso lea o loo matou folafola atu, ‘ia apoapoa‘i atu ma fa‘atonu tagata uma i le poto uma lava, ia faaatoatoaina tagata uma ia Keriso.

²⁹ And it is for this reason that I labour, striving with his energy which works in me mightily.

¹ I want you to know, ona, what a struggle I am having on your behalf and on behalf of those in Laodicea, and on behalf of so many others who have never seen me face to face.

² It is all to bind them together in love and to encourage their resolution until they are rich in the assurance of their complete understanding and have knowledge of the mystery of God

³ in which all the jewels of wisdom and knowledge are hidden.
