11 Paul an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God and

Timotheus our brother .

12 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 .

13 We give thanks to God and the Father of our Lord Jesus

Christ praying always for you .

14 Since we heard of your faith in Christ Jesus and of the love

which ye have to all the saints .

15 For the hope which is laid up for you in heaven whereof ye

heard before in the word of the truth of the gospel .

16 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 .

17 As ye also learned of Epaphras our dear fellowservant who is

for you a faithful minister of Christ .

18 Who also declared unto us your love in the Spirit .

19 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 .

110 That ye might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing

being fruitful in every good work and increasing in the

knowledge of God .

111 Strengthened with all might according to his glorious power

unto all patience and longsuffering with joyfulness .

112 Giving thanks unto the Father which hath made us meet to be

partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light .

113 Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness and hath

translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son .

114 In whom we have redemption through his blood even the

forgiveness of sins .

115 Who is the image of the invisible God the firstborn of

every creature .

116 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 .

117 And he is before all things and by him all things consist .

118 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 .

119 For it pleased the Father that in him should all fulness

dwell .

120 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 .

121 And you that were sometime alienated and enemies in your

mind by wicked works yet now hath he reconciled .

122 In the body of his flesh through death to present you holy

and unblameable and unreproveable in his sight .

123 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 .

124 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 .

125 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 .

126 Even the mystery which hath been hid from ages and from

generations but now is made manifest to his saints .

127 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 .

128 Whom we preach warning every man and teaching every man in

all wisdom that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus

129 Whereunto I also labour striving according to his working

which worketh in me mightily .

* 21 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 .

22 That their hearts might be comforted being knit together in

love and unto all riches of the full assurance of understanding

to the acknowledgement of the mystery of God and of the Father

and of Christ .

23 In whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge .

24 And this I say lest any man should beguile you with enticing

words .

25 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 .

26 As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord so walk

ye in him .

27 Rooted and built up in him and stablished in the faith as ye

have been taught abounding therein with thanksgiving .

28 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 .

29 For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily .

210 And ye are complete in him which is the head of all

principality and power .

211 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 .

212 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 .

213 And you being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of

your flesh hath he quickened together with him having forgiven

you all trespasses .

214 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 .

215 And having spoiled principalities and powers he made a shew

of them openly triumphing over them in it .

216 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 .

217 Which are a shadow of things to come but the body is of

Christ .

218 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 .

219 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 .

220 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 .

221 (Touch not taste not handle not .

222 Which all are to perish with the using after the

commandments and doctrines of men .

223 Which things have indeed a shew of wisdom in will worship

and humility and neglecting of the body not in any honour to the

satisfying of the flesh .

* 31 If ye then be risen with Christ seek those things which

are above where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God .

32 Set your affection on things above not on things on the

earth .

33 For ye are dead and your life is hid with Christ in God .

34 When Christ who is our life shall appear then shall ye also

appear with him in glory .

35 Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth

fornication uncleanness inordinate affection evil concupiscence

and covetousness which is idolatry .

36 For which things' sake the wrath of God cometh on the

children of disobedience .

37 In the which ye also walked some time when ye lived in them .

38 But now ye also put off all these anger wrath malice

blasphemy filthy communication out of your mouth .

39 Lie not one to another seeing that ye have put off the old

man with his deeds .

310 And have put on the new man which is renewed in knowledge

after the image of him that created him .

311 Where there is neither Greek nor Jew circumcision nor

uncircumcision Barbarian Scythian bond nor free but Christ is

all and in all .

312 Put on therefore as the elect of God holy and beloved

bowels of mercies kindness humbleness of mind meekness

longsuffering .

313 Forbearing one another and forgiving one another if any man

have a quarrel against any even as Christ forgave you so also do

ye .

314 And above all these things put on charity which is the bond

of perfectness .

315 And let the peace of God rule in your hearts to the which

also ye are called in one body and be ye thankful .

316 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom

teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and

spiritual songs singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord .

317 And whatsoever ye do in word or deed do all in the name of

the Lord Jesus giving thanks to God and the Father by him .

318 Wives submit yourselves unto your own husbands as it is fit

in the Lord .

319 Husbands love your wives and be not bitter against them .

320 Children obey your parents in all things for this is well

pleasing unto the Lord .

321 Fathers provoke not your children to anger lest they be

discouraged .

322 Servants obey in all things your masters according to the

flesh not with eyeservice as menpleasers but in singleness of

heart fearing God .

323 And whatsoever ye do do it heartily as to the Lord and not

unto men .

324 Knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the

inheritance for ye serve the Lord Christ .

325 But he that doeth wrong shall receive for the wrong which

he hath done and there is no respect of persons .

* 41 Masters give unto your servants that which is just and

equal knowing that ye also have a Master in heaven .

42 Continue in prayer and watch in the same with thanksgiving .

43 Withal praying also for us that God would open unto us a

door of utterance to speak the mystery of Christ for which I am

also in bonds .

44 That I may make it manifest as I ought to speak .

45 Walk in wisdom toward them that are without redeeming the

time .

46 Let your speech be alway with grace seasoned with salt that

ye may know how ye ought to answer every man .

47 All my state shall Tychicus declare unto you who is a

beloved brother and a faithful minister and fellowservant in the

Lord .

48 Whom I have sent unto you for the same purpose that he might

know your estate and comfort your hearts .

49 With Onesimus a faithful and beloved brother who is one of

you They shall make known unto you all things which are done

here .

410 Aristarchus my fellowprisoner saluteth you and Marcus

sister's son to Barnabas touching whom ye received commandments

if he come unto you receive him .

411 And Jesus which is called Justus who are of the

circumcision These only are my fellowworkers unto the kingdom of

God which have been a comfort unto me .

412 Epaphras who is one of you a servant of Christ saluteth you

always labouring fervently for you in prayers that ye may stand

perfect and complete in all the will of God .

413 For I bear him record that he hath a great zeal for you and

them that are in Laodicea and them in Hierapolis .

414 Luke the beloved physician and Demas greet you .

415 Salute the brethren which are in Laodicea and Nymphas and

the church which is in his house .

416 And when this epistle is read among you cause that it be

read also in the church of the Laodiceans and that ye likewise

read the epistle from Laodicea .

417 And say to Archippus Take heed to the ministry which thou

hast received in the Lord that thou fulfil it .

418 The salutation by the hand of me Paul Remember my bonds

Grace be with you Amen .
