Paul^G3972, an apostle^G652 of Jesus^G2424 Christ^G5547 by^G1223 the will^G2307 of God^G2316, and^G2532 Timotheus^G5095 our brother^G80,²To the saints^G40 and^G2532 faithful^G4103 brethren^G80 in^G1722 Christ^G5547 which are at^G1722 Colosse^G2857: Grace^G5485 be unto you^G5213, and^G2532 peace^G1515, from^G575 God^G2316 our^G2257 Father^G3962 and^G2532 the Lord^G2962 Jesus^G2424 Christ^G5547.³We give thanks^G2168 to God^G2316 and^G2532 the Father^G3962 of our^G2257 Lord^G2962 Jesus^G2424 Christ^G5547, praying^G4336 always^G3842 for^G4012 you^G5216,⁴Since we heard^G191 of your^G5216 faith^G4102 in^G1722 Christ^G5547 Jesus^G2424, and^G2532 of the love^G26 which^G3588 ye have to^G1519 all^G3956 the saints^G40,⁵For^G1223 the hope^G1680 which^G3588 is laid up^G606 for you^G5213 in^G1722 heaven^G3772, whereof^G3739 ye heard before^G4257 in^G1722 the word^G3056 of the truth^G225 of the gospel^G2098;⁶Which^G3588 is come^G3918 unto^G1519 you^G5209, as^{G2531 G2532} it is in^G1722 all^G3956 the world^G2889; and^G2532 bringeth forth fruit^{G2076 G2592}, as^G2531 it doth also^G2532 in^G1722 you^G5213, since^G575 the^G3739 day^G2250 ye heard^G191 of it, and^G2532 knew^G1921 the grace^G5485 of God^G2316 in^G1722 truth^G225:⁷As^G2531 ye^G3129 also^G2532 learned^G3129 of^G575 Epaphras^G1889 our^G2257 dear^G27 fellowservant^G4889, who^G3739 is^G2076 for^G5228 you^G5216 a faithful^G4103 minister^G1249 of Christ^G5547;⁸Who^G3588 also^G2532 declared^G1213 unto us^G2254 your^G5216 love^G26 in^G1722 the Spirit^G4151.⁹For^G1223 this cause^G5124 we^G2249 also^G2532, since^G575 the^G3739 day^G2250 we heard^G191 it, do^G3973 not^G3756 cease^G3973 to pray^G4336 for^G5228 you^G5216, and^G2532 to desire^G154 that^G2443 ye might be filled^G4137 with the knowledge^G1922 of his^G846 will^G2307 in^G1722 all^G3956 wisdom^G4678 and^G2532 spiritual^G4152 understanding^G4907;¹⁰That ye^G5209 might walk^G4043 worthy^G516 of the Lord^G2962 unto^G1519 all^G3956 pleasing^G699, being fruitful^G2592 in^G1722 every^G3956 good^G18 work^G2041, and^G2532 increasing^G837 in^G1519 the knowledge^G1922 of God^G2316;¹¹Strengthened^G1412 with^G1722 all^G3956 might^G1411, according to^G2596 his^G846 glorious^G1391 power^G2904, unto^G1519 all^G3956 patience^G5281 and^G2532 longsuffering^G3115 with^G3326 joyfulness^G5479;¹²Giving thanks^G2168 unto the Father^G3962, which^G3588 hath made^G2427 us^G2248 meet^G2427 to^G1519 be partakers^G3310 of the inheritance^G2819 of the saints^G40 in^G1722 light^G5457:¹³Who^G3739 hath delivered^G4506 us^G2248 from^G1537 the power^G1849 of darkness^G4655, and^G2532 hath translated^G3179 us into^G1519 the kingdom^G932 of his^G846 dear^G26 Son^G5207:¹⁴In^G1722 whom^G3739 we have^G2192 redemption^G629 through^G1223 his^G846 blood^G129, even the forgiveness^G859 of sins^G266:¹⁵Who^G3739 is^G2076 the image^G1504 of the invisible^G517 God^G2316, the firstborn^G4416 of every^G3956 creature^G2937:¹⁶For^G3754 by^G1722 him^G846 were^G2936 all things^G3956 created^G2936, that are in^G1722 heaven^G3772, and^G2532 that are in^G1909 earth^G1093, visible^G3707 and^G2532 invisible^G517, whether^G1535 they be thrones^G2362, or^G1535 dominions^G2963, or^G1535 principalities^G746, or^G1535 powers^G1849: all things^G3956 were created^G2936 by^G1223 him^G846, and^G2532 for^G1519 him^G846:¹⁷And^G2532 he^G846 is^G2076 before^G4253 all things^G3956, and^G2532 by^G1722 him^G846 all things^G3956 consist^G4921.¹⁸And^G2532 he^G846 is^G2076 the head^G2776 of the body^G4983, the church^G1577: who^G3739 is^G2076 the beginning^G746, the firstborn^G4416 from^G1537 the dead^G3498; that^G2443 in^G1722 all^G3956 things he^G846 might have^G1096 the preeminence^G4409.¹⁹For it pleased^G2106 the Father that^G3754 in^G1722 him^G846 should^G2730 all^G3956 fulness^G4138 dwell^G2730;²⁰And^G2532, having made peace^G1517 through^G1223 the blood^G129 of his^G846 cross^G4716, by^G1223 him^G846 to reconcile^G604 all things^G3956 unto^G1519 himself^G846; by^G1223 him^G846, I say, whether^G1535 they be things in^G1909 earth^G1093, or^G1535 things in^G1722 heaven^G3772.²¹And^G2532 you^G5209, that were^G5607 sometime^G4218 alienated^G526 and^G2532 enemies^G2190 in your mind^G1271 by^G1722 wicked^G4190 works^G2041, yet^G1161 now^G3570 hath he reconciled^G60422In^G1722 the body^G4983 of his^G846 flesh^G4561 through^G1223 death^G2288, to present^G3936 you^G5209 holy^G40 and^G2532 unblameable^G299 and^G2532 unreproveable^G410 in his^G846 sight^G2714:²³If^G1489 ye continue^G1961 in the faith^G4102 grounded^G2311 and^G2532 settled^G1476, and^G2532 be not^G3361 moved away^G3334 from^G575 the hope^G1680 of the gospel^G2098, which^G3739 ye have heard^G191, and which^G3588 was preached^G2784 to^G1722 every^G3956 creature^G2937 which is under^G5259 heaven^G3772; whereof^G3739 I^G1473 Paul^G3972 am made^G1096 a minister^G1249;²⁴Who^G3739 now^G3568 rejoice^G5463 in^G1722 my^G3450 sufferings^G3804 for^G5228 you^G5216, and^G2532 fill up^G466 that which is behind^G5303 of the afflictions^G2347 of Christ^G5547 in^G1722 my^G3450 flesh^G4561 for^G5228 his^G846 body's^G4983 sake^G5228, which is^G3603 the church^G1577:²⁵Whereof^G3739 I^G1473 am made^G1096 a minister^G1249, according to^G2596 the dispensation^G3622 of God^G2316 which^G3588 is given^G1325 to me^G3427 for^G1519 you^G5209, to fulfil^G4137 the word^G3056 of God^G2316;²⁶Even the mystery^G3466 which^G3588 hath been hid^G613 from^G575 ages^G165 and^G2532 from^G575 generations^G1074, but^G1161 now^G3570 is made manifest^G5319 to his^G846 saints^G40:²⁷To whom^G3739 God^G2316 would^G2309 make known^G1107 what^G5101 is the riches^G4149 of the glory^G1391 of this^G5127 mystery^G3466 among^G1722 the Gentiles^G1484; which^G3739 is^G2076 Christ^G5547 in^G1722 you^G5213, the hope^G1680 of glory^G1391:²⁸Whom^G3739 we^G2249 preach^G2605, warning^G3560 every^G3956 man^G444, and^G2532 teaching^G1321 every^G3956 man^G444 in^G1722 all^G3956 wisdom^G4678; that^G2443 we may present^G3936 every^G3956 man^G444 perfect^G5046 in^G1722 Christ^G5547 Jesus^G2424:²⁹Whereunto^{G1519 G3739} I^G2872 also^G2532 labour^G2872, striving^G75 according to^G2596 his^G846 working^G1753, which^G3588 worketh^G1754 in^G1722 me^G1698 mightily^{G1722 G1411}.
