Col 01:01 ¶ Paul <3972>, an apostle <652> of Jesus <2424> Christ
<5547> by <1223> the will <2307> of God <2316>, and <2532>
Timotheus <5095> our brother <80>,
Col 01:02 To the saints <40> and <2532> faithful <4103>
brethren <80> in <1722> Christ <5547> which are at <1722>
Colosse <2857>: Grace <5485> be unto you <5213>, and <2532>
peace <1515>, from <575> God <2316> our <2257> Father <3962> and
<2532> the Lord <2962> Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>.
Col 01:03 ¶ We give thanks <2168> (5719) to God <2316> and
<2532> the Father <3962> of our <2257> Lord <2962> Jesus <2424>
Christ <5547>, praying <4336> (5740) always <3842> for <4012>
you <5216>,
Col 01:04 Since we heard <191> (5660) of your <5216> faith
<4102> in <1722> Christ <5547> Jesus <2424>, and <2532> of the
love <26> which <3588> ye have to <1519> all <3956> the saints
<40>,
Col 01:05 For <1223> the hope <1680> which <3588> is laid up
<606> (5740) for you <5213> in <1722> heaven <3772>, whereof
<3739> ye heard before <4257> (5656) in <1722> the word <3056>
of the truth <225> of the gospel <2098>;
Col 01:06 Which <3588> is come <3918> (5752) unto <1519> you
<5209>, as <2531> <2532> it is in <1722> all <3956> the world
<2889>; and <2532> bringeth forth fruit <2076> (5748) <2592>
(5734), as <2531> it doth also <2532> in <1722> you <5213>,
since <575> the <3739> day <2250> ye heard <191> (5656) of it,
and <2532> knew <1921> (5627) the grace <5485> of God <2316> in
<1722> truth <225>:
Col 01:07 As <2531> ye <3129> <0> also <2532> learned <3129>
(5627) of <575> Epaphras <1889> our <2257> dear <27>
fellowservant <4889>, who <3739> is <2076> (5748) for <5228> you
<5216> a faithful <4103> minister <1249> of Christ <5547>;
Col 01:08 Who <3588> also <2532> declared <1213> (5660) unto us
<2254> your <5216> love <26> in <1722> the Spirit <4151>.
Col 01:09 ¶ For <1223> this cause <5124> we <2249> also <2532>,
since <575> the <3739> day <2250> we heard <191> (5656) it, do
<3973> <0> not <3756> cease <3973> (5731) to pray <4336> (5740)
for <5228> you <5216>, and <2532> to desire <154> (5734) that
<2443> ye might be filled <4137> (5686) with the knowledge
<1922> of his <846> will <2307> in <1722> all <3956> wisdom
<4678> and <2532> spiritual <4152> understanding <4907>;
Col 01:10 That ye <5209> might walk <4043> (5658) worthy <516>
of the Lord <2962> unto <1519> all <3956> pleasing <699>, being
fruitful <2592> (5723) in <1722> every <3956> good <18> work
<2041>, and <2532> increasing <837> (5746) in <1519> the
knowledge <1922> of God <2316>;
Col 01:11 Strengthened <1412> (5746) with <1722> all <3956>
might <1411>, according to <2596> his <846> glorious <1391>
power <2904>, unto <1519> all <3956> patience <5281> and <2532>
longsuffering <3115> with <3326> joyfulness <5479>;
Col 01:12 ¶ Giving thanks <2168> (5723) unto the Father <3962>,
which <3588> hath made <2427> <0> us <2248> meet <2427> (5660)
to <1519> be partakers <3310> of the inheritance <2819> of the
saints <40> in <1722> light <5457>:
Col 01:13 Who <3739> hath delivered <4506> (5673) us <2248>
from <1537> the power <1849> of darkness <4655>, and <2532> hath
translated <3179> (5656) us into <1519> the kingdom <932> of his
<846> dear <26> Son <5207>:
Col 01:14 In <1722> whom <3739> we have <2192> (5719)
redemption <629> through <1223> his <846> blood <129>, even the
forgiveness <859> of sins <266>:
Col 01:15 Who <3739> is <2076> (5748) the image <1504> of the
invisible <517> God <2316>, the firstborn <4416> of every <3956>
creature <2937>:
Col 01:16 For <3754> by <1722> him <846> were <2936> <0> all
things <3956> created <2936> (5681), that are in <1722> heaven
<3772>, and <2532> that are in <1909> earth <1093>, visible
<3707> and <2532> invisible <517>, whether <1535> they be
thrones <2362>, or <1535> dominions <2963>, or <1535>
principalities <746>, or <1535> powers <1849>: all things <3956>
were created <2936> (5769) by <1223> him <846>, and <2532> for
<1519> him <846>:
Col 01:17 And <2532> he <846> is <2076> (5748) before <4253>
all things <3956>, and <2532> by <1722> him <846> all things
<3956> consist <4921> (5758).
Col 01:18 And <2532> he <846> is <2076> (5748) the head <2776>
of the body <4983>, the church <1577>: who <3739> is <2076>
(5748) the beginning <746>, the firstborn <4416> from <1537> the
dead <3498>; that <2443> in <1722> all <3956> things he <846>
might have <1096> (5638) the preeminence <4409> (5723).
Col 01:19 For it pleased <2106> (5656) the Father that <3754>
in <1722> him <846> should <2730> <0> all <3956> fulness <4138>
dwell <2730> (5658);
Col 01:20 And <2532>, having made peace <1517> (5660) through
<1223> the blood <129> of his <846> cross <4716>, by <1223> him
<846> to reconcile <604> (5658) all things <3956> unto <1519>
himself <846>; by <1223> him <846>, I say, whether <1535> they
be things in <1909> earth <1093>, or <1535> things in <1722>
heaven <3772>.
Col 01:21 And <2532> you <5209>, that were <5607> (5752)
sometime <4218> alienated <526> (5772) and <2532> enemies <2190>
in your mind <1271> by <1722> wicked <4190> works <2041>, yet
<1161> now <3570> hath he reconciled <604> (5656)
Col 01:22 In <1722> the body <4983> of his <846> flesh <4561>
through <1223> death <2288>, to present <3936> (5658) you <5209>
holy <40> and <2532> unblameable <299> and <2532> unreproveable
<410> in his <846> sight <2714>:
Col 01:23 If <1489> ye continue <1961> (5719) in the faith
<4102> grounded <2311> (5772) and <2532> settled <1476>, and
<2532> be not <3361> moved away <3334> (5746) from <575> the
hope <1680> of the gospel <2098>, which <3739> ye have heard
<191> (5656), and which <3588> was preached <2784> (5685) to
<1722> every <3956> creature <2937> which is under <5259> heaven
<3772>; whereof <3739> I <1473> Paul <3972> am made <1096>
(5633) a minister <1249>;
Col 01:24 Who <3739> now <3568> rejoice <5463> (5719) in <1722>
my <3450> sufferings <3804> for <5228> you <5216>, and <2532>
fill up <466> (5719) that which is behind <5303> of the
afflictions <2347> of Christ <5547> in <1722> my <3450> flesh
<4561> for <5228> <0> his <846> body’s <4983> sake <5228>, which
is <3603> (5748) the church <1577>:
Col 01:25 Whereof <3739> I <1473> am made <1096> (5633) a
minister <1249>, according to <2596> the dispensation <3622> of
God <2316> which <3588> is given <1325> (5685) to me <3427> for
<1519> you <5209>, to fulfil <4137> (5658) the word <3056> of
God <2316>;
Col 01:26 Even the mystery <3466> which <3588> hath been hid
<613> (5772) from <575> ages <165> and <2532> from <575>
generations <1074>, but <1161> now <3570> is made manifest
<5319> (5681) to his <846> saints <40>:
Col 01:27 To whom <3739> God <2316> would <2309> (5656) make
known <1107> (5658) what <5101> is the riches <4149> of the
glory <1391> of this <5127> mystery <3466> among <1722> the
Gentiles <1484>; which <3739> is <2076> (5748) Christ <5547> in
<1722> you <5213>, the hope <1680> of glory <1391>:
Col 01:28 Whom <3739> we <2249> preach <2605> (5719), warning
<3560> (5723) every <3956> man <444>, and <2532> teaching <1321>
