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.

BlessedG3107 are yeG2075, whenG3752 men shall revileG3679 youG5209, andG2532 persecuteG1377 you, andG2532 shall sayG2036 all mannerG3956 of evilG4190+G4487 againstG2596 youG5216 falselyG5574, for my sakeG1752+G1700. {falsely: Gr. lying}
ForG3754 asG2531 the sufferingsG3804 of ChristG5547 aboundG4052 inG1519 usG2248, soG3779 ourG2257 consolationG3874 alsoG2532 aboundethG4052 byG1223 ChristG5547.
AndG1161 whetherG1535 we be afflictedG2346, it is forG5228 yourG5216 consolationG3874 andG2532 salvationG4991, whichG3588 is effectualG1754 inG1722 the enduringG5281 of the sameG846 sufferingsG3804 whichG3739 weG2249 alsoG2532 sufferG3958: or whetherG1535 we be comfortedG3870, it is forG5228 yourG5216 consolationG3874 andG2532 salvationG4991. {is effectual: or, is wrought}
AndG2532 ourG2257 hopeG1680 ofG5228 youG5216 is stedfastG949, knowingG1492, thatG3754 asG5618 ye areG2075 partakersG2844 of the sufferingsG3804, soG3779 shall ye be alsoG2532 of the consolationG3874.
ForG1063 we wouldG2309 notG3756, brethrenG80, haveG50 youG5209 ignorantG50 ofG5228 ourG2257 troubleG2347 whichG3588 cameG1096 to usG2254 inG1722 AsiaG773, thatG3754 we were pressedG2596 outG916 of measureG5236, aboveG5228 strengthG1411, insomuchG5620 that weG2248 despairedG1820 evenG2532 of lifeG2198:
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}
RejoiceG5463, andG2532 be exceeding gladG21: forG3754 greatG4183 is yourG5216 rewardG3408 inG1722 heavenG3772: forG1063 soG3779 persecuted theyG1377 the prophetsG4396 whichG3588 were beforeG4253 youG5216.
We are troubledG2346 onG1722 every sideG3956, yetG235 notG3756 distressedG4729; we are perplexedG639, butG235 notG3756 in despairG1820; {in despair: or, altogether without help, or, means}
PersecutedG1377, butG235 notG3756 forsakenG1459; cast downG2598, butG235 notG3756 destroyedG622;
AlwaysG3842 bearing aboutG4064 inG1722 the bodyG4983 the dyingG3500 of the LordG2962 JesusG2424, thatG2443 the lifeG2222 alsoG2532 of JesusG2424 might be made manifestG5319 inG1722 ourG2257 bodyG4983.
For weG2249 whichG3588 liveG2198 areG3860 alwayG104+G1063 deliveredG3860 untoG1519 deathG2288 forG1223 Jesus'G2424 sakeG1223, thatG2443 the lifeG2222 alsoG2532 of JesusG2424 might be made manifestG5319 inG1722 ourG2257 mortalG2349 fleshG4561.
SoG5620 thenG3303 deathG2288 workethG1754 inG1722 usG2254, butG1161 lifeG2222 inG1722 youG5213.
WhichG3748 isG2076 hisG846 bodyG4983, the fulnessG4138 of him that fillethG4137 allG3956 inG1722 allG3956.
AndG3767 they departedG4198+G3303 fromG575 the presenceG4383 of the councilG4892, rejoicingG5463 thatG3754 they were counted worthyG2661 to suffer shameG818 forG5228 hisG846 nameG3686.
Are theyG1526 ministersG1249 of ChristG5547? (I speakG2980 as a foolG3912) IG1473 am moreG5228; inG1722 laboursG2873 more abundantG4056, inG1722 stripesG4127 above measureG5234, inG1722 prisonsG5438 more frequentG4056, inG1722 deathsG2288 oftG4178.
OfG5259 the JewsG2453 five timesG3999 received IG2983 fortyG5062 stripes saveG3844 oneG3391.
ThriceG5151 was I beaten with rodsG4463, onceG530 was I stonedG3034, thriceG5151 I suffered shipwreckG3489, a night and a dayG3574 I have beenG4160 inG1722 the deepG1037;
In journeyingsG3597 oftenG4178, in perilsG2794 of watersG4215, in perilsG2794 of robbersG3027, in perilsG2794 byG1537 mine own countrymenG1085, in perilsG2794 byG1537 the heathenG1484, in perilsG2794 inG1722 the cityG4172, in perilsG2794 inG1722 the wildernessG2047, in perilsG2794 inG1722 the seaG2281, in perilsG2794 amongG1722 false brethrenG5569;
InG1722 wearinessG2873 andG2532 painfulnessG3449, inG1722 watchingsG70 oftenG4178, inG1722 hungerG3042 andG2532 thirstG1373, inG1722 fastingsG3521 oftenG4178, inG1722 coldG5592 andG2532 nakednessG1132.
AndG1161 notG3756 onlyG3440 so, butG235 we gloryG2744 inG1722 tribulationsG2347 alsoG2532: knowingG1492 thatG3754 tribulationG2347 workethG2716 patienceG5281;
That I may knowG1097 himG846, andG2532 the powerG1411 of hisG846 resurrectionG386, andG2532 the fellowshipG2842 of hisG846 sufferingsG3804, being made conformableG4833 unto hisG846 deathG2288;
GreatG4183 is myG3427 boldness of speechG3954 towardG4314 youG5209, greatG4183 is myG3427 gloryingG2746 ofG5228 youG5216: I am filledG4137 with comfortG3874, I am exceedingG5248 joyfulG5479 inG1909 allG3956 ourG2257 tribulationG2347.
BeG1870 notG3361 thouG1870 thereforeG3767 ashamedG1870 of the testimonyG3142 of ourG2257 LordG2962, norG3366 of meG1691 hisG846 prisonerG1198: butG235 be thou partaker of the afflictionsG4777 of the gospelG2098 according toG2596 the powerG1411 of GodG2316;
For thisG5127 causeG5484 IG1473 PaulG3972, the prisonerG1198 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547 forG5228 youG5216 GentilesG1484,
WhereinG1722+G3739 I suffer troubleG2553, asG5613 an evil doerG2557, even untoG3360 bondsG1199; butG235 the wordG3056 of GodG2316 isG1210 notG3756 boundG1210.
WhereforeG1352 I desireG154 that ye faintG1573 notG3361 atG1722 myG3450 tribulationsG2347 forG5228 youG5216, whichG3748 isG2076 yourG5216 gloryG1391.
ThereforeG1223+G5124 I endureG5278 all thingsG3956 forG1588 the elect'sG1588 sakesG1223, thatG2443 theyG846 mayG5177 alsoG2532 obtainG5177 the salvationG4991 whichG3588 is inG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424 withG3326 eternalG166 gloryG1391.
