PaulG3972, an apostleG652 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547 byG1223 the willG2307 of GodG2316, andG2532 TimotheusG5095 our brotherG80,
To the saintsG40 andG2532 faithfulG4103 brethrenG80 inG1722 ChristG5547 which are atG1722 ColosseG2857: GraceG5485 be unto youG5213, andG2532 peaceG1515, fromG575 GodG2316 ourG2257 FatherG3962 andG2532 the LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547.
We give thanksG2168 to GodG2316 andG2532 the FatherG3962 of ourG2257 LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, prayingG4336 alwaysG3842 forG4012 youG5216,
Since we heardG191 of yourG5216 faithG4102 inG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424, andG2532 of the loveG26 whichG3588 ye have toG1519 allG3956 the saintsG40,
ForG1223 the hopeG1680 whichG3588 is laid upG606 for youG5213 inG1722 heavenG3772, whereofG3739 ye heard beforeG4257 inG1722 the wordG3056 of the truthG225 of the gospelG2098;
WhichG3588 is comeG3918 untoG1519 youG5209, asG2531+G2532 it is inG1722 allG3956 the worldG2889; andG2532 bringeth forth fruitG2076+G2592, asG2531 it doth alsoG2532 inG1722 youG5213, sinceG575 theG3739 dayG2250 ye heardG191 of it, andG2532 knewG1921 the graceG5485 of GodG2316 inG1722 truthG225:
AsG2531 yeG3129 alsoG2532 learnedG3129 ofG575 EpaphrasG1889 ourG2257 dearG27 fellowservantG4889, whoG3739 isG2076 forG5228 youG5216 a faithfulG4103 ministerG1249 of ChristG5547;
WhoG3588 alsoG2532 declaredG1213 unto usG2254 yourG5216 loveG26 inG1722 the SpiritG4151.
ForG1223 this causeG5124 weG2249 alsoG2532, sinceG575 theG3739 dayG2250 we heardG191 it, doG3973 notG3756 ceaseG3973 to prayG4336 forG5228 youG5216, andG2532 to desireG154 thatG2443 ye might be filledG4137 with the knowledgeG1922 of hisG846 willG2307 inG1722 allG3956 wisdomG4678 andG2532 spiritualG4152 understandingG4907;
That yeG5209 might walkG4043 worthyG516 of the LordG2962 untoG1519 allG3956 pleasingG699, being fruitfulG2592 inG1722 everyG3956 goodG18 workG2041, andG2532 increasingG837 inG1519 the knowledgeG1922 of GodG2316;
StrengthenedG1412 withG1722 allG3956 mightG1411, according toG2596 hisG846 gloriousG1391 powerG2904, untoG1519 allG3956 patienceG5281 andG2532 longsufferingG3115 withG3326 joyfulnessG5479;
Giving thanksG2168 unto the FatherG3962, whichG3588 hath madeG2427 usG2248 meetG2427 toG1519 be partakersG3310 of the inheritanceG2819 of the saintsG40 inG1722 lightG5457:
WhoG3739 hath deliveredG4506 usG2248 fromG1537 the powerG1849 of darknessG4655, andG2532 hath translatedG3179 us intoG1519 the kingdomG932 of hisG846 dearG26 SonG5207: {his…: Gr. the Son of his love}
InG1722 whomG3739 we haveG2192 redemptionG629 throughG1223 hisG846 bloodG129, even the forgivenessG859 of sinsG266:
WhoG3739 isG2076 the imageG1504 of the invisibleG517 GodG2316, the firstbornG4416 of everyG3956 creatureG2937:
ForG3754 byG1722 himG846 wereG2936 all thingsG3956 createdG2936, that are inG1722 heavenG3772, andG2532 that are inG1909 earthG1093, visibleG3707 andG2532 invisibleG517, whetherG1535 they be thronesG2362, orG1535 dominionsG2963, orG1535 principalitiesG746, orG1535 powersG1849: all thingsG3956 were createdG2936 byG1223 himG846, andG2532 forG1519 himG846:
AndG2532 heG846 isG2076 beforeG4253 all thingsG3956, andG2532 byG1722 himG846 all thingsG3956 consistG4921.
AndG2532 heG846 isG2076 the headG2776 of the bodyG4983, the churchG1577: whoG3739 isG2076 the beginningG746, the firstbornG4416 fromG1537 the deadG3498; thatG2443 inG1722 allG3956 things heG846 might haveG1096 the preeminenceG4409. {in…: or, among all}
For it pleasedG2106 the Father thatG3754 inG1722 himG846 shouldG2730 allG3956 fulnessG4138 dwellG2730;
AndG2532, having made peaceG1517 throughG1223 the bloodG129 of hisG846 crossG4716, byG1223 himG846 to reconcileG604 all thingsG3956 untoG1519 himselfG846; byG1223 himG846, I say, whetherG1535 they be things inG1909 earthG1093, orG1535 things inG1722 heavenG3772. {having…: or, making}
AndG2532 youG5209, that wereG5607 sometimeG4218 alienatedG526 andG2532 enemiesG2190 in your mindG1271 byG1722 wickedG4190 worksG2041, yetG1161 nowG3570 hath he reconciledG604 {in…: or, by your mind in}
InG1722 the bodyG4983 of hisG846 fleshG4561 throughG1223 deathG2288, to presentG3936 youG5209 holyG40 andG2532 unblameableG299 andG2532 unreproveableG410 in hisG846 sightG2714:
IfG1489 ye continueG1961 in the faithG4102 groundedG2311 andG2532 settledG1476, andG2532 be notG3361 moved awayG3334 fromG575 the hopeG1680 of the gospelG2098, whichG3739 ye have heardG191, and whichG3588 was preachedG2784 toG1722 everyG3956 creatureG2937 which is underG5259 heavenG3772; whereofG3739 IG1473 PaulG3972 am madeG1096 a ministerG1249;
WhoG3739 nowG3568 rejoiceG5463 inG1722 myG3450 sufferingsG3804 forG5228 youG5216, andG2532 fill upG466 that which is behindG5303 of the afflictionsG2347 of ChristG5547 inG1722 myG3450 fleshG4561 forG5228 hisG846 body'sG4983 sakeG5228, which isG3603 the churchG1577:
WhereofG3739 IG1473 am madeG1096 a ministerG1249, according toG2596 the dispensationG3622 of GodG2316 whichG3588 is givenG1325 to meG3427 forG1519 youG5209, to fulfilG4137 the wordG3056 of GodG2316; {to fulfil…: or, fully to preach the word}
Even the mysteryG3466 whichG3588 hath been hidG613 fromG575 agesG165 andG2532 fromG575 generationsG1074, butG1161 nowG3570 is made manifestG5319 to hisG846 saintsG40:
To whomG3739 GodG2316 wouldG2309 make knownG1107 whatG5101 is the richesG4149 of the gloryG1391 of thisG5127 mysteryG3466 amongG1722 the GentilesG1484; whichG3739 isG2076 ChristG5547 inG1722 youG5213, the hopeG1680 of gloryG1391: {in: or, among}
WhomG3739 weG2249 preachG2605, warningG3560 everyG3956 manG444, andG2532 teachingG1321 everyG3956 manG444 inG1722 allG3956 wisdomG4678; thatG2443 we may presentG3936 everyG3956 manG444 perfectG5046 inG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424:
WhereuntoG1519+G3739 IG2872 alsoG2532 labourG2872, strivingG75 according toG2596 hisG846 workingG1753, whichG3588 workethG1754 inG1722 meG1698 mightilyG1722+G1411.

ThatG2443 he would grantG1325 youG5213, according toG2596 the richesG4149 of hisG846 gloryG1391, to be strengthenedG2901 with mightG1411 byG1223 hisG846 SpiritG4151 inG1519 the innerG2080 manG444;
That ChristG5547 may dwellG2730 inG1722 yourG5216 heartsG2588 byG1223 faithG4102; thatG2443 ye, being rootedG4492 andG2532 groundedG2311 inG1722 loveG26,
