经文 · 和合本 1919 / KJV（公版） · Scripture · CUV 1919 / KJV (public domain)
所以你们既是 神的选民、圣洁蒙爱的人、就要存怜悯、恩慈、谦虚、温柔、忍耐的心。 倘若这人与那人有嫌隙、总要彼此包容、彼此饶恕．主怎样饶恕了你们、你们也要怎样饶恕人。 在这一切之外、要存着爱心．爱心就是联络全德的。 又要叫基督的平安在你们心里作主．你们也为此蒙召、归为一体．且要存感谢的心。 当用各样的智慧、把基督的道理、丰丰富富的存在心里、用诗章、颂词、灵歌、彼此教导、互相劝戒心被恩感歌颂 神。 无论作甚么、或说话、或行事、都要奉主耶稣的名、借着他感谢父 神。
English
Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering; Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye. And above all these things put on charity, which is the bond of perfectness. And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful. Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. And what soever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.
在生活中默想 · 灵修解释 · Reflecting in daily life · Devotional interpretation
歌罗西书这段劝勉把怜悯、谦卑、忍耐、饶恕与感谢放在群体生活中。工作场合的应用，是思考这些品格怎样进入日常相处。 新人又问了同一个问题，我想起自己刚开始也不熟悉。忍耐可以落实为一份清楚的说明。群体里的成长常常来自有人愿意慢一点。 今天的一小步：把常见步骤写成短清单，并邀请新人指出不清楚的地方。 回应经文不一定是宏大的决定。一个能在今天完成的小行动，可能比笼统地要求自己改变更诚实。
English
This passage in Colossians places compassion, humility, patience, forgiveness, and gratitude within shared life. Its workplace application asks how these qualities shape everyday interaction. A newcomer repeats a question, reminding me that I was once unfamiliar too. Patience can take the form of clear instructions. Communities often grow because someone is willing to slow down. A small step today: Write a short checklist and invite the newcomer to point out unclear steps. Responding to Scripture need not mean a grand decision. One achievable action today may be more honest than a vague promise to change.
