God was pleased to have his whole nature living in Christ.

因为父喜欢叫一切的丰盛在他里面居住。

因为上帝喜欢使一切的丰盛在他里面居住，

因为神喜欢使一切的丰盛在他里面居住，

因为上帝乐意让一切的丰盛住在祂里面，

因为神乐意使所有的丰盛都住在爱子里面，

因为父乐意使一切的丰盛完美都住在他里面，

因為父喜歡叫一切的豐盛在他裏面居住。

因為上帝喜歡使一切的豐盛在他裏面居住，

因為神喜歡使一切的豐盛在他裏面居住，

因為上帝樂意讓一切的豐盛住在祂裡面，

因為神樂意使所有的豐盛都住在愛子裡面，

因為上帝早就樂意使完全豐滿都住在他裏面；

因為父樂意使一切的豐盛完美都住在他裡面，

蓋父喜以諸豐盛寓於其中、

父喜以盛德恆備乎子、

蓋父喜以諸德之豐滿、恆存於彼內、

宜其於宇宙萬有中、基督位居乾元；天主無窮之蘊藏、欣然於基督乎是寓；

For God was pleased to have all his fullness dwell in him,

For in him all the fullness of God was pleased to dwell,

For God in all his fullness was pleased to live in Christ,

For God was pleased to have all his fullness dwell in him,

For it was the Father’s good pleasure for all the fullness to dwell in Him,

For it pleased the Father that in Him all the fullness should dwell,

For it was the good pleasure of the Father that in him should all the fulness dwell;

For God was pleased to have all His fullness dwell in Him,

For it pleased[ the Father] that in him should all fulness dwell;

For God was pleased to have all his fullness dwell in the Son

For all the fullness was pleased to dwell in him,

God’s whole nature is living in Christ in human form.

God is full of grace. From him we have all received grace in place of the grace already given.

All the treasures of wisdom and knowledge are hidden in him.

The church is Christ’s body and is filled by Christ. He fills everything in every way.

Give praise to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. He has blessed us with every spiritual blessing. Those blessings come from the heavenly world. They belong to us because we belong to Christ.

The one who came down is the same one who went up. He went up higher than all the heavens. He did it in order to fill all creation.

Here there is no Gentile or Jew. There is no difference between those who are circumcised and those who are not. There is no rude outsider, or even a Scythian. There is no slave or free person. But Christ is everything. And he is in everything.

The one whom God has sent speaks God’s words. That’s because God gives the Holy Spirit without limit.

At that time Jesus said,“ I praise you, Father. You are Lord of heaven and earth. You have hidden these things from wise and educated people. But you have shown them to little children.Yes, Father. This is what you wanted to do.“ My Father has given all things to me. The Father is the only one who knows the Son. And the only ones who know the Father are the Son and those to whom the Son chooses to make him known.

At that time Jesus was full of joy through the Holy Spirit. He said,“ I praise you, Father. You are Lord of heaven and earth. You have hidden these things from wise and educated people. But you have shown them to little children. Yes, Father. This is what you wanted to do.

So he decided long ago to adopt us. He adopted us as his children with all the rights children have. He did it because of what Jesus Christ has done. It pleased God to do it.
