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.

NowG1161 weG2249 have receivedG2983, notG3756 the spiritG4151 of the worldG2889, butG235 the spiritG4151 whichG3588 is ofG1537 GodG2316; thatG2443 we might knowG1492 the things that are freely givenG5483 to usG2254 ofG5259 GodG2316.
Which thingsG3739 alsoG2532 we speakG2980, notG3756 inG1722 the wordsG3056 which man'sG442 wisdomG4678 teachethG1318, butG235 which the HolyG40 GhostG4151 teachethG1722+G1318; comparingG4793 spiritual thingsG4152 with spiritualG4152.
ButG1161 the naturalG5591 manG444 receivethG1209 notG3756 the thingsG3588 of the SpiritG4151 of GodG2316: forG1063 they areG2076 foolishnessG3472 unto himG846: neitherG2532+G3756 canG1410 he knowG1097 them, becauseG3754 they are spirituallyG4153 discernedG350.
InG1722 whomG3739 areG1526 hidG614 allG3956 the treasuresG2344 of wisdomG4678 andG2532 knowledgeG1108. {In whom: or, Wherein}
WhereG3699 there isG1762 neitherG3756 GreekG1672 norG2532 JewG2453, circumcisionG4061 norG2532 uncircumcisionG203, BarbarianG915, ScythianG4658, bondG1401 nor freeG1658: butG235 ChristG5547 is allG3956, andG2532 inG1722 allG3956.
ForG1223 the hopeG1680 whichG3588 is laid upG606 for youG5213 inG1722 heavenG3772, whereofG3739 ye heard beforeG4257 inG1722 the wordG3056 of the truthG225 of the gospelG2098;
NowG1161 thanksG5485 be unto GodG2316, which alwaysG3842 causethG2358 usG2248 to triumphG2358 inG1722 ChristG5547, andG2532 maketh manifestG5319 the savourG3744 of hisG846 knowledgeG1108 byG1223 usG2257 inG1722 everyG3956 placeG5117.
AndG2532 thatG2443 he might make knownG1107 the richesG4149 of hisG846 gloryG1391 onG1909 the vesselsG4632 of mercyG1656, whichG3739 he had afore preparedG4282 untoG1519 gloryG1391,
NeitherG3761 shall they sayG2046, LoG2400 hereG5602! orG2228, loG2400 thereG1563! forG1063, beholdG2400, the kingdomG932 of GodG2316 isG2076 withinG1787 youG5216. {within you: or, among you}
Therefore my heartH3820 is gladH8055, and my gloryH3519 rejoicethH1523: my fleshH1320 also shall restH7931 in hopeH983. {rest…: Heb. dwell confidently}
For thou wilt not leaveH5800 my soulH5315 in hellH7585; neither wilt thou sufferH5414 thine Holy OneH2623 to seeH7200 corruptionH7845.
Thou wilt shewH3045 me the pathH734 of lifeH2416: in thy presenceH6440 is fulnessH7648 of joyH8057; at thy right handH3225 there are pleasuresH5273 for evermoreH5331.
ForG3754 GodG2316, whoG3588 commandedG2036 the lightG5457 to shineG2989 out ofG1537 darknessG4655+G3739, hath shinedG2989 inG1722 ourG2257 heartsG2588, toG4314 give the lightG5462 of the knowledgeG1108 of the gloryG1391 of GodG2316 inG1722 the faceG4383 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547. {hath: Gr. is he who hath}
OG5599 the depthG899 of the richesG4149 bothG2532 of the wisdomG4678 andG2532 knowledgeG1108 of GodG2316! howG5613 unsearchableG419 are hisG846 judgmentsG2917, andG2532 hisG846 waysG3598 past finding outG421!
He that eatethG5176 myG3450 fleshG4561, andG2532 drinkethG4095 myG3450 bloodG129, dwellethG3306 inG1722 meG1698, and IG2504 inG1722 himG846.
ByG1223 whomG3739 alsoG2532 we haveG2192 accessG4318 by faithG4102 intoG1519 thisG5026 graceG5485 whereinG1722+G3739 we standG2476, andG2532 rejoiceG2744 inG1909 hopeG1680 of the gloryG1391 of GodG2316.
ButG1161 whenG3753 it pleasedG2106 GodG2316, whoG3588 separatedG873 meG3165 fromG1537 myG3450 mother'sG3384 wombG2836, andG2532 calledG2564 me byG1223 hisG846 graceG5485,
InG1722 whomG3739 we haveG2192 redemptionG629 throughG1223 hisG846 bloodG129, the forgivenessG859 of sinsG3900, accordingG2596 to the richesG4149 of hisG846 graceG5485;
Even the SpiritG4151 of truthG225; whomG3739 the worldG2889 cannotG3756+G1410 receiveG2983, becauseG3754 it seethG2334 himG846 notG3756, neitherG3761 knowethG1097 himG846: butG1161 yeG5210 knowG1097 himG846; forG3754 he dwellethG3306 withG3844 youG5213, andG2532 shall beG2071 inG1722 youG5213.
ForG1063 I reckonG3049 thatG3754 the sufferingsG3804 of this presentG3568 timeG2540 are notG3756 worthyG514 to be compared withG4314 the gloryG1391 which shallG3195 be revealedG601 inG1519 usG2248.
To revealG601 hisG846 SonG5207 inG1722 meG1698, thatG2443 I might preachG2097 himG846 amongG1722 the heathenG1484; immediatelyG2112 I conferredG4323 notG3756 with fleshG4561 andG2532 bloodG129:
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}
AtG1722 thatG1565 dayG2250 yeG5210 shall knowG1097 thatG3754 IG1473 am inG1722 myG3450 FatherG3962, andG2532 yeG5210 inG1722 meG1698, and IG2504 inG1722 youG5213.
ForG1063 the earnest expectationG603 of the creatureG2937 waitethG553 for the manifestationG602 of the sonsG5207 of GodG2316.
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,
JesusG2424 answeredG611 andG2532 saidG2036 unto himG846, IfG1437 a manG5100 loveG25 meG3165, he will keepG5083 myG3450 wordsG3056: andG2532 myG3450 FatherG3962 will loveG25 himG846, andG2532 we will comeG2064 untoG4314 himG846, andG2532 makeG4160 our abodeG3438 withG3844 himG846.
ForG1063 ourG2257 lightG1645 afflictionG2347, whichG3588 is but for a momentG3910, workethG2716 for usG2254 a farG2596+G5236 more exceedingG1519+G5236 and eternalG166 weightG922 of gloryG1391;
Unto meG1698, who am less than the leastG1647 of allG3956 saintsG40, isG1325 thisG3778 graceG5485 givenG1325, that I should preachG2097 amongG1722 the GentilesG1484 the unsearchableG421 richesG4149 of ChristG5547;
AndG2532 to makeG5461 allG3956 men seeG5461 whatG5101 is the fellowshipG2842 of the mysteryG3466, whichG3588 fromG575 the beginning of the worldG165 hath been hidG613 inG1722 GodG2316, whoG3588 createdG2936 all thingsG3956 byG1223 JesusG2424 ChristG5547:
To the intent thatG2443 nowG3568 unto the principalitiesG746 andG2532 powersG1849 inG1722 heavenlyG2032 places might be knownG1107 byG1223 the churchG1577 the manifoldG4182 wisdomG4678 of GodG2316,
EveryG3956 branchG2814 inG1722 meG1698 thatG846 bearethG5342 notG3361 fruitG2590 he taketh awayG142: andG2532 everyG3956 branch that bearethG5342 fruitG2590, he purgethG2508 itG846, thatG2443 it may bring forthG5342 moreG4119 fruitG2590.
NowG2235 yeG5210 areG2075 cleanG2513 throughG1223 the wordG3056 whichG3739 I have spokenG2980 unto youG5213.
AbideG3306 inG1722 meG1698, and IG2504 inG1722 youG5213. AsG2531 the branchG2814 cannotG3756+G1410 bearG5342 fruitG2590 ofG575 itselfG1438, exceptG3362 it abideG3306 inG1722 the vineG288; no moreG3761+G3779 can yeG5210, exceptG3362 ye abideG3306 inG1722 meG1698.
IG1473 amG1510 the vineG288, yeG5210 are the branchesG2814: He that abidethG3306 inG1722 meG1698, and IG2504 inG1722 himG846, the sameG3778 bringeth forthG5342 muchG4183 fruitG2590: forG3754 withoutG5565 meG1700 ye canG1410 doG4160 nothingG3756+G3762. {without me: or, severed from me}
PaulG3972, an apostleG652 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547 byG2596 the commandmentG2003 of GodG2316 ourG2257 SaviourG4990, andG2532 LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, whichG3588 is ourG2257 hopeG1680;
ThatG2443 he would grantG1325 youG5213, according toG2596 the richesG4149 of hisG846 gloryG1391, to be strengthenedG2901 with mightG1411 byG1223 hisG846 SpiritG4151 inG1519 the innerG2080 manG444;
AndG2532 the gloryG1391 whichG3739 thou gavestG1325 meG3427 IG1473 have givenG1325 themG846; thatG2443 they may beG5600 oneG1520, even asG2531 weG2249 areG2070 oneG1520:
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}
ButG1161 myG3450 GodG2316 shall supplyG4137 allG3956 yourG5216 needG5532 according toG2596 hisG846 richesG4149 inG1722 gloryG1391 byG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424.
IG1473 inG1722 themG846, andG2532 thouG4771 inG1722 meG1698, thatG2443 they may beG5600 made perfectG5048 inG1519 oneG1520; andG2532 thatG2443 the worldG2889 may knowG1097 thatG3754 thouG4771 hast sentG649 meG3165, andG2532 hast lovedG25 themG846, asG2531 thou hast lovedG25 meG1691.
ToG1519 an inheritanceG2817 incorruptibleG862, andG2532 undefiledG283, andG2532 that fadeth not awayG263, reservedG5083 inG1722 heavenG3772 forG1519 youG5209, {for you: or, for us}
AndG2532 I have declaredG1107 unto themG846 thyG4675 nameG3686, andG2532 will declareG1107 it: thatG2443 the loveG26 wherewithG3739 thou hast lovedG25 meG3165 may beG5600 inG1722 themG846, and IG2504 inG1722 themG846.
AndG1161 ifG1487 ChristG5547 be inG1722 youG5213, the bodyG4983+G3303 is deadG3498 becauseG1223 of sinG266; butG1161 the SpiritG4151 is lifeG2222 becauseG1223 of righteousnessG1343.
Know yeG1492 notG3756 thatG3754 ye areG2075 the templeG3485 of GodG2316, andG2532 that the SpiritG4151 of GodG2316 dwellethG3611 inG1722 youG5213?
AndG1161 whatG5101 agreementG4783 hath the templeG3485 of GodG2316 withG3326 idolsG1497? forG1063 yeG5210 areG2075 the templeG3485 of the livingG2198 GodG2316; asG2531 GodG2316 hath saidG2036+G3754, I will dwellG1774 inG1722 themG846, andG2532 walk inG1704 them; andG2532 I will beG2071 theirG846 GodG2316, andG2532 theyG846 shall beG2071 myG3427 peopleG2992.
I am crucifiedG4957 with ChristG5547: neverthelessG1161 I liveG2198; yet notG3765 IG1473, butG1161 ChristG5547 livethG2198 inG1722 meG1698: andG1161 the life whichG3739 IG2198 nowG3568 liveG2198 inG1722 the fleshG4561 I liveG2198 byG1722 the faithG4102 of the SonG5207 of GodG2316, whoG3588 lovedG25 meG3165, andG2532 gaveG3860 himselfG1438 forG5228 meG1700.
MyG3450 little childrenG5040, of whomG3739 I travail in birthG5605 againG3825 untilG891+G3739 ChristG5547 be formedG3445 inG1722 youG5213,
InG1722 whomG3739 yeG5210 alsoG2532 are builded togetherG4925 forG1519 an habitationG2732 of GodG2316 throughG1722 the SpiritG4151.
That ChristG5547 may dwellG2730 inG1722 yourG5216 heartsG2588 byG1223 faithG4102; thatG2443 ye, being rootedG4492 andG2532 groundedG2311 inG1722 loveG26,
