COL 01:01 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God,
and Timotheus [our] brother,
COL 01:02 To the saints and faithful brethren in Christ which
are at Colosse: Grace [be] unto you, and peace, from God our
Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
COL 01:03 We give thanks to God and the Father of our Lord Jesus
Christ, praying always for you,
COL 01:04 Since we heard of your faith in Christ Jesus, and of
the love [which ye have] to all the saints,
COL 01:05 For the hope which is laid up for you in heaven,
whereof ye heard before in the word of the truth of the gospel;
COL 01:06 Which is come unto you, as [it is] in all the world;
and bringeth forth fruit, as [it doth] also in you, since the
day ye heard [of it], and knew the grace of God in truth:
COL 01:07 As ye also learned of Epaphras our dear fellowservant,
who is for you a faithful minister of Christ;
COL 01:08 Who also declared unto us your love in the Spirit.
COL 01:09 For this cause we also, since the day we heard [it],
do not cease to pray for you, and to desire that ye might be
filled with the knowledge of his will in all wisdom and
spiritual understanding;
COL 01:10 That ye might walk worthy of the Lord unto all
pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in
the knowledge of God;
COL 01:11 Strengthened with all might, according to his glorious
power, unto all patience and longsuffering with joyfulness;
COL 01:12 Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet
to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light:
COL 01:13 Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and
hath translated [us] into the kingdom of his dear Son:
COL 01:14 In whom we have redemption through his blood, [even]
the forgiveness of sins:
COL 01:15 Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn
of every creature:
COL 01:16 For by him were all things created, that are in heaven,
and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether [they be]
thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things
were created by him, and for him:
COL 01:17 And he is before all things, and by him all things
consist.
COL 01:18 And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the
beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all [things] he
might have the preeminence.
COL 01:19 For it pleased [the Father] that in him should all
fulness dwell;
COL 01:20 And, having made peace through the blood of his cross,
by him to reconcile all things unto himself; by him, [I say],
whether [they be] things in earth, or things in heaven.
COL 01:21 And you, that were sometime alienated and enemies in
[your] mind by wicked works, yet now hath he reconciled
COL 01:22 In the body of his flesh through death, to present you
holy and unblameable and unreproveable in his sight:
COL 01:23 If ye continue in the faith grounded and settled, and
[be] not moved away from the hope of the gospel, which ye have
heard, [and] which was preached to every creature which is under
heaven; whereof I Paul am made a minister;
COL 01:24 Who now rejoice in my sufferings for you, and fill up
that which is behind of the afflictions of Christ in my flesh
for his body's sake, which is the church:
COL 01:25 Whereof I am made a minister, according to the
dispensation of God which is given to me for you, to fulfil the
word of God;
COL 01:26 [Even] the mystery which hath been hid from ages and
from generations, but now is made manifest to his saints:
COL 01:27 To whom God would make known what [is] the riches of
the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in
you, the hope of glory:
COL 01:28 Whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching every
man in all wisdom; that we may present every man perfect in
Christ Jesus:
COL 01:29 Whereunto I also labour, striving according to his
working, which worketh in me mightily.
COL 02:01 For I would that ye knew what great conflict I have
for you, and [for] them at Laodicea, and [for] as many as have
not seen my face in the flesh;
COL 02:02 That their hearts might be comforted, being knit
together in love, and unto all riches of the full assurance of
understanding, to the acknowledgment of the mystery of God, and
of the Father, and of Christ;
COL 02:03 In whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and
knowledge.
COL 02:04 And this I say, lest any man should beguile you with
enticing words.
COL 02:05 For though I be absent in the flesh, yet am I with you
in the spirit, joying and beholding your order, and the
stedfastness of your faith in Christ.
COL 02:06 As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord,
[so] walk ye in him:
COL 02:07 Rooted and built up in him, and stablished in the
faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with
thanksgiving.
COL 02:08 Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and
vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of
the world, and not after Christ.
COL 02:09 For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead
bodily.
COL 02:10 And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all
principality and power:
COL 02:11 In whom also ye are circumcised with the circumcision
made without hands, in putting off the body of the sins of the
flesh by the circumcision of Christ:
COL 02:12 Buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen
with [him] through the faith of the operation of God, who hath
raised him from the dead.
COL 02:13 And you, being dead in your sins and the
uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with
him, having forgiven you all trespasses;
COL 02:14 Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was
against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way,
nailing it to his cross;
COL 02:15 [And] having spoiled principalities and powers, he
made a show of them openly, triumphing over them in it.
COL 02:16 Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink,
or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the
sabbath [days]:
COL 02:17 Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body
[is] of Christ.
COL 02:18 Let no man beguile you of your reward in a voluntary
humility and worshipping of angels, intruding into those things
which he hath not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind,
COL 02:19 And not holding the Head, from which all the body by
joints and bands having nourishment ministered, and knit
together, increaseth with the increase of God.
COL 02:20 Wherefore if ye be dead with Christ from the rudiments
of the world, why, as though living in the world, are ye subject
to ordinances,
