1.1 Argumentum Colossenses, sicut et Laodicenses, sunt Asiani, et ipsi præventi erant a pseudoapostolis, nec ad hos accessit ipse Apostolus, sed eos per epistolam corrigit.

Solito more salutationem præmittit. Qua præmissa de bonis eorum gratias agit, et fidem et dilectionem commendans orat, ut perficiantur in Christo, cujus beneficia et primatum secundum utramque naturam commendat; deinde sui ministerii dignitatem commemorans monet ne per prophetiam vel legis cæremonias seducti a Christo recedant; tandem omnes simul secundum sexus et ætates et conditiones moraliter instruit, et in fine Archippum commonet sollicitum fore suscepti ministerii.

Key for above GNTs: yellow:punctuation differs, red:words differ (from our SR-GNT base).
1:1 Timothy was one of Paul’s closest co-workers. So close was their relationship and so significant Timothy’s ministry that Paul included him as one of the senders of this letter as well as of 2 Corinthians, Philippians, 1 and 2 Thessalonians, and Philemon.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / exclusive
Throughout this letter the words “we,” “us,” “our,” and “ours” include the Colossian believers unless noted otherwise.
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / yousingular
The words “you,” “your,” and “yours” refer to the Colossian believers, and so they are plural unless noted otherwise.
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / 123person
Παῦλος
Paul
In this culture, letter writers would give their own names first, referring to themselves in the third person. If that is confusing in your language, you could use the first person here. If your language has a particular way of introducing the author of a letter, and if it would be helpful to your readers, you could use it here. Alternate translation: “From Paul”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
καὶ Τιμόθεος ὁ ἀδελφὸς
and Timothy our brother
This phrase does not mean that Timothy helped Paul write this letter. Paul was the author of this letter, as he shows by using the first person singular throughout the letter. What this does mean is that Timothy is with Paul and that Timothy is in agreement with what Paul writes. If it sounds in your language like Timothy is writing the letter with Paul, you could make Timothy’s supporting role more clear. Alternate translation: “with the support of Timothy, our fellow believer”
