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.

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;

So thenG686 faithG4102 cometh byG1537 hearingG189, andG1161 hearingG189 byG1223 the wordG4487 of GodG2316.
Thy peopleH5971 shall be willingH5071 in the dayH3117 of thy powerH2428, in the beautiesH1926 of holinessH6944 from the wombH7358 of the morningH4891: thou hast the dewH2919 of thy youthH3208. {from…: or, more than the womb of the morning: thou shalt have, etc}
ButG235 the hourG5610 comethG2064, andG2532 nowG3568 isG2076, whenG3753 the trueG228 worshippersG4353 shall worshipG4352 the FatherG3962 inG1722 spiritG4151 andG2532 in truthG225: forG2532+G1063 the FatherG3962 seekethG2212 suchG5108 to worshipG4352 himG846.
He hath rememberedH2142 his mercyH2617 and his truthH530 toward the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478: all the endsH657 of the earthH776 have seenH7200 the salvationH3444 of our GodH430.
AndG2532 otherG243 fellG4098 onG1519 goodG2570 groundG1093, andG2532 did yieldG1325 fruitG2590 that sprang upG305 andG2532 increasedG837; andG2532 brought forthG5342, someG1520 thirtyG5144, andG2532 someG1520 sixtyG1835, andG2532 someG1520 an hundredG1540.
WhenG1161 they heardG191 these thingsG5023, they held their peaceG2270, andG2532 glorifiedG1392 GodG2316, sayingG3004, ThenG686 hathG1325 GodG2316 alsoG2534 to the GentilesG1484 grantedG1325 repentanceG3341 untoG1519 lifeG2222.
AndG2532 thisG5124 gospelG2098 of the kingdomG932 shall be preachedG2784 inG1722 allG3650 the worldG3625 forG1519 a witnessG3142 unto allG3956 nationsG1484; andG2532 thenG5119 shall the endG5056 comeG2240.
AndG2532 he saidG3004, SoG3779 isG2076 the kingdomG932 of GodG2316, asG5613 ifG1437 a manG444 should castG906 seedG4703 intoG1909 the groundG1093;
AndG2532 should sleepG2518, andG2532 riseG1453 nightG3571 andG2532 dayG2250, andG2532 the seedG4703 should springG985 andG2532 grow upG3373, heG846 knowethG1492 notG3756 howG5613.
ForG1063 the earthG1093 bringeth forth fruitG2592 of herselfG844; firstG4412 the bladeG5528, thenG1534 the earG4719, after thatG1534 the fullG4134 cornG4621 inG1722 the earG4719.
ButG1161 whenG3752 the fruitG2590 is brought forthG3860, immediatelyG2112 he putteth inG649 the sickleG1407, becauseG3754 the harvestG2326 is comeG3936. {brought…: or, ripe}
AndG2532 a certainG5100 womanG1135 namedG3686 LydiaG3070, a seller of purpleG4211, of the cityG4172 of ThyatiraG2363, which worshippedG4576 GodG2316, heardG191 us: whoseG3739 heartG2588 the LordG2962 openedG1272, that she attendedG4337 unto the things which were spokenG2980 ofG5259 PaulG3972.
Go yeG4198 thereforeG3767, and teachG3100 allG3956 nationsG1484, baptizingG907 themG846 inG1519 the nameG3686 of the FatherG3962, andG2532 of the SonG5207, andG2532 of the HolyG40 GhostG4151: {teach…: or, make disciples, or, Christians of all nations}
YeG5210 haveG1586 notG3756 chosenG1586 meG3165, butG235 IG1473 have chosenG1586 youG5209, andG2532 ordainedG5087 youG5209, thatG2443 yeG5210 should goG5217 andG2532 bring forthG5342 fruitG2590, andG2532 that yourG5216 fruitG2590 should remainG3306: thatG2443 whatsoeverG3739+G302+G3748 ye shall askG154 of the FatherG3962 inG1722 myG3450 nameG3686, he may give itG1325 youG5213.
To openG455 theirG846 eyesG3788, and to turnG1994 them fromG575 darknessG4655 toG1519 lightG5457, andG2532 from the powerG1849 of SatanG4567 untoG1909 GodG2316, that theyG846 may receiveG2983 forgivenessG859 of sinsG266, andG2532 inheritanceG2819 amongG1722 them which are sanctifiedG37 by faithG4102 that is inG1519 meG1691.
AndG2532 he saidG2036 unto themG846, Go yeG4198 intoG1519 allG537 the worldG2889, and preachG2784 the gospelG2098 to everyG3956 creatureG2937.
ButG1161 by the graceG5485 of GodG2316 I amG1510 whatG3739 I amG1510: andG2532 hisG846 graceG5485 which was bestowed uponG1519 meG1691 wasG1096 notG3756 in vainG2756; butG235 I labouredG2872 more abundantlyG4054 than theyG846 allG3956: yetG1161 notG3756 IG1473, butG235 the graceG5485 of GodG2316 whichG3588 was withG4862 meG1698.
ButG235 I sayG3004, HaveG191 they notG3378 heardG191? Yes verilyG3304, theirG846 soundG5353 wentG1831 intoG1519 allG3956 the earthG1093, andG2532 theirG846 wordsG4487 untoG1519 the endsG4009 of the worldG3625.
NowG1161 I wouldG2309 notG3756 haveG50 youG5209 ignorantG50, brethrenG80, thatG3754 oftentimesG4178 I purposedG4388 to comeG2064 untoG4314 youG5209, (butG2532 was letG2967 hithertoG891+G1204,) thatG2443 I might haveG2192 someG5100 fruitG2590 amongG1722 youG5213 alsoG2532, even asG2531+G2532 amongG1722 otherG3062 GentilesG1484. {among: or, in}
ThereforeG3767 whetherG1535 it were IG1473 orG1535 theyG1565, soG3779 we preachG2784, andG2532 soG3779 ye believedG4100.
ThroughG1722 mightyG1411 signsG4592 andG2532 wondersG5059, byG1722 the powerG1411 of the SpiritG4151 of GodG2316; soG5620 that fromG575 JerusalemG2419, andG2532 round aboutG2945 untoG3360 IllyricumG2437, IG3165 have fully preachedG4137 the gospelG2098 of ChristG5547.
When thereforeG3767 I have performedG2005 thisG5124, andG2532 have sealedG4972 to themG846 thisG5126 fruitG2590, I will comeG565 byG1223 youG5216 intoG1519 SpainG4681.
WeG3870 thenG1161, as workers togetherG4903 with him, beseechG3870 you alsoG2532 that yeG5209 receiveG1209 notG3361 the graceG5485 of GodG2316 inG1519 vainG2756.
ButG1161 nowG3568 is made manifestG5319, andG5037 byG1223 the scripturesG1124 of the prophetsG4397, accordingG2596 to the commandmentG2003 of the everlastingG166 GodG2316, made knownG1107 toG1519 allG3956 nationsG1484 forG1519 the obedienceG5218 of faithG4102:
(ForG1063 the fruitG2590 of the SpiritG4151 is inG1722 allG3956 goodnessG19 andG2532 righteousnessG1343 andG2532 truthG225;)
IfG1489 ye have heardG191 of the dispensationG3622 of the graceG5485 of GodG2316 whichG3588 is givenG1325 meG3427 toG1519 you-wardG5209:
ForG1063 we stretchG5239 notG3756 ourselvesG1438 beyondG5239 our measure, asG5613 though we reachedG2185 notG3361 untoG1519 youG5209: forG1063 we are comeG5348 as far asG891 to youG5216 alsoG2532 inG1722 preaching the gospelG2098 of ChristG5547:
Being filledG4137 with the fruitsG2590 of righteousnessG1343, whichG3588 are byG1223 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, untoG1519 the gloryG1391 andG2532 praiseG1868 of GodG2316.
NotG3756 becauseG3754 I desireG1934 a giftG1390: butG235 I desireG1934 fruitG2590 that may aboundG4121 toG1519 yourG5216 accountG3056.
ForG3754 ourG2257 gospelG2098 cameG1096 notG3756 untoG1519 youG5209 inG1722 wordG3056 onlyG3440, butG235 alsoG2532 inG1722 powerG1411, andG2532 inG1722 the HolyG40 GhostG4151, andG2532 inG1722 muchG4183 assuranceG4136; asG2531 ye knowG1492 what manner of menG3634 we wereG1096 amongG1722 youG5213 forG1223 yourG5209 sake.
For thisG5124 causeG1223 alsoG2532 thankG2168 weG2249 GodG2316 without ceasingG89, becauseG3754, when ye receivedG3880 the wordG3056 of GodG2316 which ye heardG189 ofG3844 usG2257, ye receivedG1209 it notG3756 as the wordG3056 of menG444, butG235 asG2531 it isG2076 in truthG230, the wordG3056 of GodG2316, whichG3739 effectually workethG1754 alsoG2532 inG1722 youG5213 that believeG4100.
ButG1161 weG2249 are boundG3784 to give thanksG2168 alwayG3842 to GodG2316 forG4012 youG5216, brethrenG80 belovedG25 ofG5259 the LordG2962, becauseG3754 GodG2316 hathG138 fromG575 the beginningG746 chosenG138 youG5209 toG1519 salvationG4991 throughG1722 sanctificationG38 of the SpiritG4151 andG2532 beliefG4102 of the truthG225:
ForG1063 the graceG5485 of GodG2316 that bringeth salvationG4992 hath appearedG2014 to allG3956 menG444, {hath…: or, to all men, hath appeared}
TeachingG3811 usG2248 thatG2443, denyingG720 ungodlinessG763 andG2532 worldlyG2886 lustsG1939, we should liveG2198 soberlyG4996+G2532, righteouslyG1346, andG2532 godlyG2153, inG1722 this presentG3568 worldG165;
ElectG1588 accordingG2596 to the foreknowledgeG4268 of GodG2316 the FatherG3962, throughG1722 sanctificationG38 of the SpiritG4151, untoG1519 obedienceG5218 andG2532 sprinklingG4473 of the bloodG129 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547: GraceG5485 unto youG5213, andG2532 peaceG1515, be multipliedG4129.
BlessedG2128 be the GodG2316 andG2532 FatherG3962 of ourG2257 LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, whichG3588 according toG2596 hisG846 abundantG4183 mercyG1656 hath begottenG313 usG2248 againG313 untoG1519 a livelyG2198 hopeG1680 byG1223 the resurrectionG386 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547 fromG1537 the deadG3498, {abundant: Gr. much}
