Colossians 4:17

είπατε aor. imper. act. от λέγω (G3004) говорить,
βλέπε praes. imper. act. от βλέπω (G991) видеть, остерегаться, обращать внимание (RWP).
διακονία (G1248) служение, служба (TDNT).
παρέλαβες aor. ind. act. от παραλαμβάνω (G3880) получать, получать от кого-л. Это слово обозначает скорее опосредованное, чем непосредственное получение; Архипп получил церковь сразу поcле Святого Павла, но на самом деле от Христа (Lightfoot).
πληροίς praes. conj. act. от πληρόω (G4137) выполнять. Praes. обозначает длительное действие. Это пожизненная работа (RWP).
