For God in all his fullness was pleased to live 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,

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

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

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,

For in Christ lives all the fullness of God in a human body.

From his abundance we have all received one gracious blessing after another.

In him lie hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.

And the church is his body; it is made full and complete by Christ, who fills all things everywhere with himself.

All praise to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly realms because we are united with Christ.

And the same one who descended is the one who ascended higher than all the heavens, so that he might fill the entire universe with himself.

In this new life, it doesn’t matter if you are a Jew or a Gentile, circumcised or uncircumcised, barbaric, uncivilized, slave, or free. Christ is all that matters, and he lives in all of us.

For he is sent by God. He speaks God’s words, for God gives him the Spirit without limit.

At that time Jesus prayed this prayer:“ O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, thank you for hiding these things from those who think themselves wise and clever, and for revealing them to the childlike.Yes, Father, it pleased you to do it this way!“ My Father has entrusted everything to me. No one truly knows the Son except the Father, and no one truly knows the Father except the Son and those to whom the Son chooses to reveal him.”

At that same time Jesus was filled with the joy of the Holy Spirit, and he said,“ O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, thank you for hiding these things from those who think themselves wise and clever, and for revealing them to the childlike. Yes, Father, it pleased you to do it this way.

God decided in advance to adopt us into his own family by bringing us to himself through Jesus Christ. This is what he wanted to do, and it gave him great pleasure.
