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.

We give thanksG2168 to GodG2316 andG2532 the FatherG3962 of ourG2257 LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, prayingG4336 alwaysG3842 forG4012 youG5216,
Moreover as for meH595, God forbidH2486 that I should sinH2398 against the LORDH3068 in ceasingH2308 to prayH6419 for you: but I will teachH3384 you the goodH2896 and the rightH3477 wayH1870: {in: Heb. from}
ThatG3754 inG1722 every thingG3956 ye are enrichedG4148 byG1722 himG846, inG1722 allG3956 utteranceG3056, andG2532 in allG3956 knowledgeG1108;
EpaphrasG1889, who is one ofG1537 youG5216, a servantG1401 of ChristG5547, salutethG782 youG5209, alwaysG3842 labouring ferventlyG75 forG5228 youG5216 inG1722 prayersG4335, thatG2443 ye may standG2476 perfectG5046 andG2532 completeG4137 inG1722 allG3956 the willG2307 of GodG2316. {labouring…: or, striving} {complete: or, filled}
LetG1774 the wordG3056 of ChristG5547 dwellG1774 inG1722 youG5213 richlyG4146 inG1722 allG3956 wisdomG4678; teachingG1321 andG2532 admonishingG3560 one anotherG1438 in psalmsG5568 andG2532 hymnsG5215 andG2532 spiritualG4152 songsG5603, singingG103 withG1722 graceG5485 inG1722 yourG5216 heartsG2588 to the LordG2962.
AndG1161 we knowG1492 thatG3754 the SonG5207 of GodG2316 is comeG2240, andG2532 hath givenG1325 usG2254 an understandingG1271, thatG2443 we may knowG1097 him that is trueG228, andG2532 we areG2070 inG1722 him that is trueG228, even inG1722 hisG846 SonG5207 JesusG2424 ChristG5547. ThisG3778 isG2076 the trueG228 GodG2316, andG2532 eternalG166 lifeG2222.
Since we heardG191 of yourG5216 faithG4102 inG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424, andG2532 of the loveG26 whichG3588 ye have toG1519 allG3956 the saintsG40,
PeterG4074+G3303 thereforeG3767 was keptG5083 inG1722 prisonG5438: butG1161 prayerG4335 wasG2258 madeG1096 without ceasingG1618 ofG5259 the churchG1577 untoG4314 GodG2316 forG5228 himG846. {prayer…: or, instant and earnest prayer was made}
WhereforeG1223+G5124 I alsoG2504, after I heardG191 ofG2596 yourG5209 faithG4102 inG1722 the LordG2962 JesusG2424, andG2532 loveG26 untoG1519 allG3956 the saintsG40,
CeaseG3973 notG3756 to give thanksG2168 forG5228 youG5216, makingG4160 mentionG3417 of youG5216 inG1909 myG3450 prayersG4335;
ThatG2443 the GodG2316 of ourG2257 LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, the FatherG3962 of gloryG1391, may giveG1325 unto youG5213 the spiritG4151 of wisdomG4678 andG2532 revelationG602 inG1722 the knowledgeG1922 of himG846: {in…: or, for the acknowledgement}
The eyesG3788 of yourG5216 understandingG1271 being enlightenedG5461; thatG1519 yeG5209 may knowG1492 whatG5101 isG2076 the hopeG1680 of hisG846 callingG2821, andG2532 whatG5101 the richesG4149 of the gloryG1391 of hisG846 inheritanceG2817 inG1722 the saintsG40,
AndG2532 whatG5101 is the exceedingG5235 greatnessG3174 of hisG846 powerG1411 toG1519 us-wardG2248 whoG3588 believeG4100, according toG2596 the workingG1753 of hisG846 mightyG2479 powerG2904, {his mighty power: Gr. the might of his power}
WhichG3739 he wroughtG1754 inG1722 ChristG5547, when he raisedG1453 himG846 fromG1537 the deadG3498, andG2532 setG2523 him atG1722 his ownG846 right handG1188 inG1722 the heavenlyG2032 places,
TeachH3925 me to doH6213 thy willH7522; for thou art my GodH430: thy spiritH7307 is goodH2896; leadH5148 me into the landH776 of uprightnessH4334.
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:
AlwaysG3842 inG1722 everyG3956 prayerG1162 of mineG3450 forG5228 youG5216 allG3956 makingG4160 requestG1162 withG3326 joyG5479,
For thisG5127 causeG5484 I bowG2578 myG3450 kneesG1119 untoG4314 the FatherG3962 of ourG2257 LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547,
OfG1537 whomG3739 the wholeG3956 familyG3965 inG1722 heavenG3772 andG2532 earthG1909+G1093 is namedG3687,
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,
May be ableG1840 to comprehendG2638 withG4862 allG3956 saintsG40 whatG5101 is the breadthG4114, andG2532 lengthG3372, andG2532 depthG899, andG2532 heightG5311;
AndG5037 to knowG1097 the loveG26 of ChristG5547, which passethG5235 knowledgeG1108, thatG2443 ye might be filledG4137 withG1519 allG3956 the fulnessG4138 of GodG2316.
IfG1437 any manG5100 willG2309 doG4160 hisG846 willG2307, he shall knowG1097 ofG4012 the doctrineG1322, whetherG4220 it beG2076 ofG1537 GodG2316, orG2228 whether IG1473 speakG2980 ofG575 myselfG1683.
I have more understandingH7919 than all my teachersH3925: for thy testimoniesH5715 are my meditationH7881.
FirstG4412+G3303, I thankG2168 myG3450 GodG2316 throughG1223 JesusG2424 ChristG5547 forG5228 youG5216 allG3956, thatG3754 yourG5216 faithG4102 is spokenG2605 of throughoutG1722 the wholeG3650 worldG2889.
ForG1063 GodG2316 isG2076 myG3450 witnessG3144, whomG3739 I serveG3000 withG1722 myG3450 spiritG4151 inG1722 the gospelG2098 of hisG846 SonG5207, thatG5613 without ceasingG89 I makeG4160 mentionG3417 of youG5216 alwaysG3842 inG1909 myG3450 prayersG4335; {with: or, in}
Making requestG1189, if by any meansG1513 nowG2235 at lengthG4218 I might have a prosperous journeyG2137 byG1722 the willG2307 of GodG2316 to comeG2064 untoG4314 youG5209.
RememberingG3421 without ceasingG89 yourG5216 workG2041 of faithG4102, andG2532 labourG2873 of loveG26, andG2532 patienceG5281 of hopeG1680 in ourG2257 LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, in the sightG1715 of GodG2316 andG2532 ourG2257 FatherG3962;
AndG2532 thisG5124 I prayG4336, thatG2443 yourG5216 loveG26 may aboundG4052 yetG2089 moreG3123 andG2532 moreG3123 inG1722 knowledgeG1922 andG2532 in allG3956 judgmentG144; {judgment: or, sense}
ThatG1519 yeG5209 may approveG1381 things that are excellentG1308; thatG2443 ye may beG5600 sincereG1506 andG2532 without offenceG677 tillG1519 the dayG2250 of ChristG5547; {approve: or, try} {are…: or, differ}
Being filledG4137 with the fruitsG2590 of righteousnessG1343, whichG3588 are byG1223 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, untoG1519 the gloryG1391 andG2532 praiseG1868 of GodG2316.
AndG2532 beG4964 notG3361 conformedG4964 to thisG5129 worldG165: butG235 be ye transformedG3339 by the renewingG342 of yourG5216 mindG3563, thatG1519 yeG5209 may proveG1381 whatG5101 is that goodG18, andG2532 acceptableG2101, andG2532 perfectG5046, willG2307 of GodG2316.
WhereinG3739 he hath aboundedG4052 towardG1519 usG2248 inG1722 allG3956 wisdomG4678 andG2532 prudenceG5428;
WhereforeG1223+G5124 I alsoG2504, after I heardG191 ofG2596 yourG5209 faithG4102 inG1722 the LordG2962 JesusG2424, andG2532 loveG26 untoG1519 allG3956 the saintsG40,
If anyG1536 of youG5216 lackG3007 wisdomG4678, let him askG154 ofG3844 GodG2316, that givethG1325 to allG3956 men liberallyG574, andG2532 upbraidethG3679 notG3361; andG2532 it shall be givenG1325 himG846.
CeaseG3973 notG3756 to give thanksG2168 forG5228 youG5216, makingG4160 mentionG3417 of youG5216 inG1909 myG3450 prayersG4335;
WhereforeG1519+G3739 alsoG2532 we prayG4336 alwaysG3842 forG4012 youG5216, thatG2443 ourG2257 GodG2316 would countG515 youG5209 worthyG515 of this callingG2821, andG2532 fulfilG4137 allG3956 the good pleasureG2107 of his goodnessG19, andG2532 the workG2041 of faithG4102 withG1722 powerG1411: {count: or, vouchsafe}
WhereforeG1223+G5124 be yeG1096 notG3361 unwiseG878, butG235 understandingG4920 whatG5101 the willG2307 of the LordG2962 is.
ButG1161 the wisdomG4678 that is from aboveG509 isG2076 firstG4412 pureG3303+G53, thenG1899 peaceableG1516, gentleG1933, and easy to be intreatedG2138, fullG3324 of mercyG1656 andG2532 goodG18 fruitsG2590, without partialityG87, andG2532 without hypocrisyG505. {partiality: or, wrangling}
I thankG2192+G5485 GodG2316, whomG3739 I serveG3000 fromG575 my forefathersG4269 withG1722 pureG2513 conscienceG4893, thatG5613 without ceasingG88 I haveG2192 remembranceG3417 ofG4012 theeG4675 inG1722 myG3450 prayersG1162 nightG3571 andG2532 dayG2250;
NotG3361 withG2596 eyeserviceG3787, asG5613 menpleasersG441; butG235 asG5613 the servantsG1401 of ChristG5547, doingG4160 the willG2307 of GodG2316 fromG1537 the heartG5590;
Greatly desiringG1971 to seeG1492 theeG4571, being mindfulG3415 of thyG4675 tearsG1144, thatG2443 I may be filledG4137 with joyG5479; {Greatly…: or, remembering thy tears, I greatly desire to see thee that}
ForG1063 ye haveG2192 needG5532 of patienceG5281, thatG2443, after ye have doneG4160 the willG2307 of GodG2316, ye might receiveG2865 the promiseG1860.
I thankG2168 myG3450 GodG2316, makingG4160 mentionG3417 of theeG4675 alwaysG3842 inG1909 myG3450 prayersG4335,
MakeG2675 youG5209 perfectG2675 inG1722 everyG3956 goodG18 workG2041 toG1519 doG4160 hisG846 willG2307, workingG4160 inG1722 youG5213 that which is wellpleasingG2101 in hisG846 sightG1799, throughG1223 JesusG2424 ChristG5547; to whomG3739 be gloryG1391 forG1519 everG165 and everG165. AmenG281. {working: or, doing}
ForG3754 soG3779 isG2076 the willG2307 of GodG2316, that with well doingG15 ye may put to silenceG5392 the ignoranceG56 of foolishG878 menG444:
