1Paul^G3972, an apostle^G652 of Christ^G5547 Jesus^G2424 through^G1223 the will^G2307 of God^G2316, and^G2532 Timothy^G5095 our brother^G80, 2To the saints^G40 and^G2532 faithful^G4103 brethren^G80 in^G1722 Christ^G5547 that are at^G1722 Colossae^G2857: Grace^G5485 to you^G5213 and^G2532 peace^G1515 from^G575 God^G2316 our^G2257 Father^G3962. 3We give thanks^G2168 to God^G2316 the Father^G3962 of our^G2257 Lord^G2962 Jesus^G2424 Christ^G5547, praying^G4336 always^G3842 for^G4012 you^G5216, 4having heard^G191 of your^G5216 faith^G4102 in^G1722 Christ^G5547 Jesus^G2424, and^G2532 of the love^G26 which ye have toward^G1519 all^G3956 the saints^G40, 5because^G1223 of the hope^G1680 which is laid up^G606 for you^G5213 in^G1722 the heavens^G3772, whereof^G3739 ye heard before^G4257 in^G1722 the word^G3056 of the truth^G225 of the gospel^G2098, 6which is come^G3918 unto^G1519 you^G5209; even as^G2531 it is also in^G1722 all^G3956 the world^G2889 bearing fruit^G2592 and^G2532 increasing, as^G2531 it doth in^G1722 you^G5213 also^G2532, since^G575 the day^G2250 ye heard^G191 and^G2532 knew^G1921 the grace^G5485 of God^G2316 in^G1722 truth^G225; 7even^G2532 as^G2531 ye^G3129 learned^G3129 of^G575 Epaphras^G1889 our^G2257 beloved^G27 fellow-servant^G4889, who^G3739 is^G2076 a faithful^G4103 minister^G1249 of Christ^G5547 on our^G5216 behalf^G5228, 8who^G3588 also^G2532 declared^G1213 unto us^G2254 your^G5216 love^G26 in^G1722 the Spirit^G4151. 9For^G1223 this^G5124 cause^G1223 we^G2249 also^G2532, since^G575 the day^G2250 we heard^G191 it, do^G3973 not^G3756 cease^G3973 to pray^G4336 and^G2532 make request^G154 for^G5228 you^G5216, that^G2443 ye may be filled with^G4137 the knowledge^G1922 of his^G846 will^G2307 in^G1722 all^G3956 spiritual^G4152 wisdom^G4678 and^G2532 understanding^G4907, 10to walk^G4043 worthily^G516 of the Lord^G2962 unto^G1519 all^G3956 pleasing^G699, bearing fruit^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 power^G2904, according to^G2596 the might^G1411 of his^G846 glory^G1391, unto^G1519 all^G3956 patience^G5281 and^G2532 longsuffering^G3115 with^G3326 joy^G5479; 12giving thanks^G2168 unto the Father^G3962, who 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 delivered^G4506 us^G2248 out^G1537 of the power^G1849 of darkness^G4655, and^G2532 translated^G3179 us into^G1519 the kingdom^G932 of the Son^G5207 of his^G846 love^G26; 14in^G1722 whom^G3739 we have^G2192 our redemption^G629, the forgiveness^G859 of our sins^G266: 15who^G3739 is^G2076 the image^G1504 of the invisible^G517 God^G2316, the firstborn^G4416 of all^G3956 creation^G2937; 16for^G3754 in^G1722 him^G846 were^G2936 all things^G3956 created^G2936, in^G1722 the heavens^G3772 and^G2532 upon the earth^G1093, things visible^G3707 and^G2532 things invisible^G517, whether^G1535 thrones^G2362 or^G1535 dominions^G2963 or^G1535 principalities^G746 or^G1535 powers^G1849; all things^G3956 have been created^G2936 through^G1223 him^G846, and^G2532 unto^G1519 him^G846; 17and^G2532 he^G846 is^G2076 before^G4253 all things^G3956, and^G2532 in^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^G1096 have the preeminence^G4409. 19For^G3754 it was the good pleasure^G2106 of the Father that in^G1722 him^G846 should^G2730 all^G3956 the fulness^G4138 dwell^G2730; 20and^G2532 through^G1223 him to reconcile^G604 all things^G3956 unto^G1519 himself^G846, having made peace^G1517 through^G1223 the blood^G129 of his^G846 cross^G4716; through^G1223 him^G846, I say, whether^G1535 things^G3588 upon^G1909 the earth^G1093, or^G1535 things^G3588 in^G1909 the heavens^G3772. 21And^G2532 you^G5209, being in^G1271 time past^G4218 alienated^G526 and^G2532 enemies^G2190 in^G1271 your mind^G1271 in your evil^G4190 works^G2041, 22yet now^G3570 hath he reconciled^G604 in^G1722 the body^G4983 of his^G846 flesh^G4561 through^G1223 death^G2288, to present^G3936 you^G5209 holy^G40 and^G2532 without blemish^G299 and^G2532 unreproveable^G410 before^G2714 him^G846: 23if^G1489 so be that ye continue in^G1961 the faith^G4102, grounded^G2311 and^G2532 stedfast^G1476, and^G2532 not^G3361 moved away^G3334 from^G575 the hope^G1680 of the gospel^G2098 which^G3739 ye heard^G191, which was preached^G2784 in^G1722 all^G3956 creation^G2937 under^G5259 heaven^G3772; whereof^G3739 I^G1473 Paul^G3972 was made^G1096 a minister^G1249. 24Now^G3568 I^G3739 rejoice^G5463 in^G1722 my^G3450 sufferings^G3804 for^G5228 your^G5216 sake, and^G2532 fill up^G466 on my part that which is lacking^G5303 of the afflictions^G2347 of Christ^G5547 in^G1722 my^G3450 flesh^G4561 for^G5228 his^G846 body's^G4983 sake^G5228, which^G3739 is^G2076 the church^G1577; 25whereof^G3739 I^G1473 was made^G1096 a minister^G1249, according to^G2596 the dispensation^G3622 of God^G2316 which was given^G1325 me^G3427 to^G1519 you-ward^G5209, to fulfil^G4137 the word^G3056 of God^G2316, 26 even the mystery^G3466 which hath been hid^G613 for^G575 ages^G165 and^G2532 generations^G1074: but^G1161 now^G3570 hath it been manifested^G5319 to^G40 his^G846 saints^G40, 27to whom^G3739 God^G2316 was pleased^G2309 to 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 proclaim^G2605, admonishing^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; 29whereunto^G1519 I^G2872 labor^G2872 also^G2532, striving^G75 according to^G2596 his^G846 working^G1753, which worketh^G1754 in^G1722 me^G1698 mightily^G1411.
