Paul,
an apostle
of Jesus
Christ
by the will
of God,
and Timothy
our brother,
2
To the saints
and faithful
brethren
in Christ
who are at Colossae:
Grace
to you and peace
from God
our Father.
3
We give thanks
to God,
the Father
of our Lord
Jesus
Christ,
praying
always
for you,
4
since we heard
of your faith
in Christ
Jesus
and the love
which
you have
for all
the saints;
5
because
of the hope
laid
up for you in heaven,
of which
you previously heard
in the word
of truth,
the gospel
6
which has come
to you, just
as in all
the world
also
it is constantly bearing fruit
and increasing,
even
as it has been doing in you
also
since
the day
you heard
of it and understood
the grace
of God
in truth;
7
just
as you learned
it from Epaphras,
our beloved
fellow bond-
servant
,
who
is a faithful
servant
of Christ
on our behalf,
8
and he also
informed
us of your love
in the Spirit.
9
For this
reason
also,
since
the day
we heard
of it, we have not ceased
to pray
for you and to ask
that you may be filled
with the knowledge
of His will
in all
spiritual
wisdom
and understanding,
10
so that you will walk
in a manner worthy
of the Lord,
to please
Him in all
respects,
bearing fruit
in every
good
work
and increasing
in the knowledge
of God;
11
strengthened
with all
power,
according
to His glorious
might,
for the attaining of all
steadfastness
and patience;
joyously
12
giving thanks
to the Father,
who has qualified
us to share
in the inheritance
of the saints
in Light.
13
For He rescued
us from the domain
of darkness,
and transferred
us to the kingdom
of His beloved
Son,
14
in whom
we have
redemption,
the forgiveness
of sins.
15
He is the image
of the invisible
God,
the firstborn
of all
creation.
16
F
or
by Him all
things
were created,
both in the heavens
and on earth,
visible
and in
visible
,
whether
thrones
or
dominions
or
rulers
or
auth
or
ities--
all
things
have been created
through
Him and f
or
Him.
17
He is before
all
things, and in Him
all
things
hold together.
18
He is al
so
head
of the body,
the church;
and He is the beginning,
the firstborn
from the dead,
so
that He Himself
will come
to have first place
in everything.
19
For it was the Father's good pleasure
for all
the fullness
to dwell
in Him,
20
and
through
Him to reconcile
all things
to Himself,
having made peace
through
the blood
of His cross;
through
Him, I say, whether
things on earth
or
things in heaven.
21
And although you were formerly
alienated
and hostile
in mind,
engaged in evil
deeds,
22
yet
He has now
reconciled
you in His fleshly
body
through
death,
in order to present
you before
Him holy
and blameless
and beyond reproach--
23
if
indeed
you continue
in the faith
firmly established
and steadfast,
and not moved away
from the hope
of the gospel
that you have heard,
which was proclaimed
in all
creation
under
heaven,
and of which
I, Paul,
was made
a minister.
24
Now
I rejoice
in my sufferings
for your sake,
and in my flesh
I do my share
on behalf
of His body,
which
is the church,
in filling
up what
is lacking
in Christ's
afflictions.
25
Of this church I was made
a minister
according
to the stewardship
from God
bestowed
on me for your benefit,
so that I might fully carry
out the preaching of the word
of God,
26
that is, the mystery
which has been hidden
from the past ages
and generations,
but has now
been manifested
to His saints,
27
to whom
God
willed
to make known
what
is the riches
of the glory
of this
mystery
among
the Gentiles,
which
is Christ
in you, the hope
of glory.
28
We proclaim
Him, admonishing
every
man
and teaching
every
man
with all
wisdom,
so
that we may present
every
man
complete
in Christ.
29
For this
purpose also
I labor,
striving
according
to His power, which mightily
works
within
me.
