Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed for doing comparisons of different translations.

2:6-15 In the face of the false teachers’ enticing arguments, Paul exhorts the Colossians to stand firm in their faith in Christ, for in Christ lives all the fullness of God, and their spiritual experience is complete in him.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
ἐρριζωμένοι & ἐποικοδομούμενοι & βεβαιούμενοι & περισσεύοντες
/having_been/_rooted & /being/_built_up & /being/_confirmed & abounding
Paul uses these four verbs to give examples of how the Colossians should “walk in” the Messiah (2:6). If it would be helpful in your language, you could add a phrase that makes this relationship clear. Alternate translation: (starting a new sentence) “Walking in him entails being rooted … built up … confirmed … abounding”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
ἐρριζωμένοι & ἐποικοδομούμενοι & βεβαιούμενοι
/having_been/_rooted & /being/_built_up & /being/_confirmed
If your language does not use these passive forms, you could translate all three of these words in their active forms with the Colossians as the subject. Alternate translation: [rooting yourselves … building yourselves up … having confidence]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
ἐρριζωμένοι & ἐν αὐτῷ
/having_been/_rooted & in him
Paul wants the Colossians to be united so closely to Christ that he speaks of this union as if the Colossians were a plant with roots growing into Christ. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the idea with a comparable metaphor, or express it plainly. Alternate translation: [being closely connected with … in him] or [being more dependent on … in him]
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
καὶ ἐποικοδομούμενοι ἐν αὐτῷ
and /being/_built_up in him
Paul wants the Colossians to base everything they think and do on Christ as if they were a house built on Christ, who is the foundation. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the idea with a comparable metaphor, or express it plainly. Alternate translation: [in him, and basing everything you think and do on him,] or [in Christ, and believing more and more firmly in him,]
Note 5 topic: translate-unknown
βεβαιούμενοι τῇ πίστει
/being/_confirmed ˱in˲_the faith
The word confirmed refers to something being sure or valid. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a comparable expression or a short phrase. Alternate translation: [sure about the faith] or [strong in your faith]
Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
τῇ πίστει
˱in˲_the faith
If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea behind faith, you could express the idea in a different way, such as with a relative clause. Alternate translation: [in what you believe]
Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
ἐδιδάχθητε
˱you_all˲_/were/_taught
If your language does not use this passive form, you could translate this verb: (1) in its active form with Epaphras as the subject (we know he was their teacher from 1:7). See the UST. (2) with a verb such as “learned.” Alternate translation: [you learned]
Note 8 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
περισσεύοντες ἐν εὐχαριστίᾳ
abounding in thanksgiving
If your language does not use an abstract for the idea behind thanksgiving, you could express the idea in another way. Alternate translation: [being very thankful]
