Colossians 1

1. Paul <3972-Paulos->, an apostle <0652-apostolos-> of Jesus
<2424-Iesous-> Christ <5547-Christos-> by the will <2307-thelema-
> of God <2316-theos->, and Timotheus <5095-Timotheos- > [our]
brother <0080-adephos->,

2 To the saints <0040-hagios-> and faithful <4103- pistos->
brethren <0080-adephos-> in Christ <5547-Christos-> which are at
<1722-en-> Colosse <2857-Kolossai->: Grace <5485- charis-> [be]
unto you, and peace <1515-eirene->, from God <2316-theos- > our
Father <3962-pater-> and the Lord <2962-kurios-> Jesus <2424-
Iesous-> Christ <5547-Christos->.

3. We give thanks <2168-eucharisteo-> to God <2316- theos-> and
the Father <3962-pater-> of our Lord <2962-kurios-> Jesus <2424-
Iesous-> Christ <5547-Christos->, praying <4336- proseuchomai->
always <3842-pantote-> for you,

4 Since we heard <0191-akouo-> of your <5216-humon-> faith
<4102-pistis-> in Christ <5547-Christos-> Jesus < 2424-Iesous->,
and of the love <0026-agape-> [which <3588-ho-> ye have] to all
<3956-pas-> the saints <0040-hagios->,

5 For the hope <1680-elpis-> which <3588-ho-> is laid <0606-
apokeimai-> up for you in heaven <3772-ouranos->, whereof <3739-
hos-> ye heard <4257-proakouo-> before <4257-proakouo- > in the
word <3056-logos-> of the truth <0226-aletheuo-> of the gospel
<2098-euaggelion->;

6 Which <3588-ho-> is come <3918-pareimi-> unto you, as [it is]
in all <3956-pas-> the world <2889-kosmos->; and bringeth <2592-
karpophoreo-> forth fruit <2592-karpophoreo->, as [it doth] also
<2532-kai-> in you, since <0575-apo-> the day < 2250-hemera-> ye
heard <0191-akouo-> [of it], and knew <1921-epiginosko- > the
grace <5485-charis-> of God <2316-theos-> in truth <0226-
aletheuo->:

7 As ye also <2532-kai-> learned <3129-manthano-> of Epaphras
<1889-Epaphras-> our dear <0027-agapetos-> fellowservant <4889-
sundoulos->, who <3739-hos-> is for you a faithful < 4103-pistos-
> minister <1249-diakonos-> of Christ <5547-Christos- >;

8 Who <3588-ho-> also <2532-kai-> declared <1213- deloo-> unto
us your <5216-humon-> love <0026-agape-> in the Spirit <4151-
pneuma->.

9. For this <5124-touto-> cause <5124-touto-> we also <2532-kai-
>, since <0575-apo-> the day <2250-hemera-> we heard <0191-akouo-
> [it], do not cease <3973-pauo-> to pray <4336- proseuchomai->
for you, and to desire <0154-aiteo-> that ye might be filled
<4137-pleroo-> with the knowledge <1922-epignosis-> of his will
<2307-thelema-> in all <3956-pas-> wisdom <4678- sophia-> and
spiritual <4152-pneumatikos-> understanding <4907- sunesis->;

10 That ye might walk <4043-peripateo-> worthy <0516- axios-> of
the Lord <2962-kurios-> unto all <3956-pas-> pleasing <0699-
areskeia->, being fruitful <2592-karpophoreo-> in every <3596-
hodoiporeo-> good <0018-agathos-> work <2041-ergon- >, and
increasing <0837-auzano-> in the knowledge <1922- epignosis-> of
God <2316-theos->;

11 Strengthened <1412-dunamoo-> with all <3956-pas-> might
<1411-dunamis->, according <2596-kata-> to his glorious <1391-
doxa-> power <2904-kratos->, unto all <3956-pas-> patience <5281-
hupomone-> and longsuffering <3115-makrothumia-> with joyfulness
<5479-chara->;

12. Giving thanks <2168-eucharisteo-> unto the Father < 3962-
pater->, which <3588-ho-> hath made <2427-hikanoo-> us meet
<2427-hikanoo-> to be partakers <3310-meris-> of the inheritance
<2819-kleros-> of the saints <0040-hagios-> in light <5457-phos-
>:

13 Who <3739-hos-> hath delivered <4506-rhoumai-> us from the
power <1849-exousia-> of darkness <4655-skotos->, and hath
translated <3179-methistemi-> [us] into <1519-eis-> the kingdom
<0932-basileia-> of his dear <0026-agape-> Son < 5207-huios->:

14 In whom <3739-hos-> we have <2192-echo-> redemption <0629-
apolutrosis-> through <1223-dia-> his blood <0129- haima->,
[even] the forgiveness <0859-aphesis-> of sins <0266- hamartia->:

15 Who <3739-hos-> is the image <1504-eikon-> of the invisible
<0517-aoratos-> God <2316-theos->, the firstborn < 4416-
prototokos-> of every <3596-hodoiporeo-> creature < 2937-ktisis->:

16 For by him were all <3956-pas-> things created <2936- ktizo->,
that are in heaven <3772-ouranos->, and that are in earth <1093-
ge->, visible <3707-horatos-> and invisible <0517- aoratos->,
whether <1535-eite-> [they be] thrones <2362-thronos-> , or <1535-
eite-> dominions <2963-kuriotes->, or <1535-eite->
principalities <0746-arche->, or <1535-eite-> powers <1849-
exousia->: all <3956-pas-> things were created <2936- ktizo-> by
him, and for him:

17 And he is before <4253-pro-> all <3956-pas-> things, and by
him all <3956-pas-> things consist <4921-sunistao->.

18 And he is the head <2776-kephale-> of the body <4983- soma->,
the church <1577-ekklesia->: who <3739-hos-> is the beginning
<0746-arche->, the firstborn <4416-prototokos-> from the dead
<3498-nekros->; that in all <3956-pas-> [things] he might have
the preeminence <4409-proteuo->.

19 For it pleased <2106-eudokeo-> [the Father] that in him
should all <3956-pas-> fulness <4138-pleroma-> dwell <2730-
katoikeo->;

20 And, having made <1517-eirenopoieo-> peace <1517- eirenopoieo-
> through <1223-dia-> the blood <0129-haima-> of his cross <4716-
stauros->, by him to reconcile <0604-apokatallasso-> all <3956-
pas-> things unto himself <0848-hautou->; by him, [I say],
whether <1535-eite-> [they be] things in earth <1093-ge- >, or
<1535-eite-> things in heaven <3772-ouranos->.

21 And you, that were sometime <4218-pote-> alienated < 0526-
apallotrioo-> and enemies <2190-echthros-> in [your < 3588-ho->]
mind <1271-dianoia-> by wicked <4190-poneros-> works <2041-ergon-
>, yet <1161-de-> now <3570-nuni-> hath he reconciled <0604-
apokatallasso->

22 In the body <4983-soma-> of his flesh <4561-sarx-> through
<1223-dia-> death <2288-thanatos->, to present < 3936-paristemi->
you holy <0040-hagios-> and unblameable <0299-amomos-> and
unreproveable <0410-anegkletos-> in his sight <2714- katenopion->:

23 If <1489-eige-> ye continue <1961-epimeno-> in the faith
<4102-pistis-> grounded <2311-themelioo-> and settled <1476-
hedraios->, and [be] not moved <3334-metakineo-> away <3334-
metakineo-> from the hope <1680-elpis-> of the gospel <2098-
euaggelion->, which ye have heard <0191-akouo->, [and] which
<3588-ho-> was preached <2784-kerusso-> to every < 3596-
hodoiporeo-> creature <2937-ktisis-> which is under < 5259-hupo->
heaven <3772-ouranos->; whereof <3739-hos-> I Paul <3972-Paulos-
> am made <1096-ginomai-> a minister <1249-diakonos- >;

24 Who now <3568-nun-> rejoice <5463-chairo-> in my sufferings
<3804-pathema-> for you, and fill <0466-antanapleroo-> up that
which is behind <5303-husterema-> of the afflictions < 2347-
thlipsis-> of Christ <5547-Christos-> in my flesh < 4561-sarx->
for his body's <4983-soma-> sake, which <3739-hos-> is the
church <1577-ekklesia->:

25 Whereof <3739-hos-> I am made <1096-ginomai-> a minister
<1249-diakonos->, according <2596-kata-> to the dispensation
<3622-oikonomia-> of God <2316-theos-> which <3588- ho-> is given
<1325-didomi-> to me for you, to fulfil <4137-pleroo-> the word
<3056-logos-> of God <2316-theos->;

26 [Even] the mystery <3466-musterion-> which <3588-ho- > hath
been hid <0613-apokrupto-> from ages <0165-aion-> and from
generations <1074-genea->, but now <3570-nuni-> is made <5319-
phaneroo-> manifest <5319-phaneroo-> to his saints < 0040-hagios-
>:

27 To whom <3739-hos-> God <2316-theos-> would < 2309-thelo->
make <1107-gnorizo-> known <1107-gnorizo-> what < 5101-tis-> [is]
the riches <4149-ploutos-> of the glory <1391-doxa-> of this
<5127-toutou-> mystery <3466-musterion-> among < 1722-en-> the
Gentiles <1484-ethnos->; which <3739-hos-> is Christ <5547-
Christos-> in you, the hope <1680-elpis-> of glory < 1391-doxa->:

28 Whom <3739-hos-> we preach <2605-kataggello->, warning <3560-
noutheteo-> every <3596-hodoiporeo-> man <0444- anthropos->, and
teaching <1321-didasko-> every <3596-hodoiporeo-> man <0444-
anthropos-> in all <3956-pas-> wisdom <4678-sophia- >; that we
may present <3936-paristemi-> every <3596-hodoiporeo-> man <0444-
anthropos-> perfect <5046-teleios-> in Christ <5547- Christos->
Jesus <2424-Iesous->:

29 Whereunto <3739-hos-> I also <2532-kai-> labour <2872-kopiao-
>, striving <0075-agonizomai-> according <2596-kata- > to his
working <1753-energeia->, which <3588-ho-> worketh <1754-energeo-
> in me mightily <1411-dunamis->.

Colossians 2

1. For I would <2309-thelo-> that ye knew <1492-eido- > what
<2245-helikos-> great <2245-helikos-> conflict < 0073-agon-> I
have <2192-echo-> for you, and [for] them at <1722-en- > Laodicea
<2993-Laodikeia->, and [for] as many <3745-hosos-> as have not
seen <3708-horao-> my face <4383-prosopon-> in the flesh <4561-
sarx->;

2 That their hearts <2588-kardia-> might be comforted < 3870-
parakaleo->, being knit <4822-sumbibazo-> together < 4822-
sumbibazo-> in love <0026-agape->, and unto all <3956- pas->
riches <4149-ploutos-> of the full <4136-plerophoria-> assurance
<4136-plerophoria-> of understanding <4907-sunesis->, to the
acknowledgement <1922-epignosis-> of the mystery <3466- musterion-
> of God <2316-theos->, and of the Father <3962-pater- >, and of
Christ <5547-Christos->;

3 In whom <3739-hos-> are hid <0614-apokruphos-> all <3956-pas-
> the treasures <2344-thesauros-> of wisdom <4678- sophia-> and
knowledge <1108-gnosis->.

4. And this <5124-touto-> I say <3004-lego->, lest <3361-me->
any <3387-metis-> man should beguile <3884-paralogizomai- > you
with enticing <4086-pithanologia-> words <4086- pithanologia->.

5 For though <1499-ei kai-> I be absent <0548-apeimi- > in the
flesh <4561-sarx->, yet <0235-alla-> am <1510-eimi- > I with you
in the spirit <4151-pneuma->, joying <5463-chairo-> and
beholding <0991-blepo-> your <5216-humon-> order < 5010-taxis->,
and the stedfastness <4733-stereoma-> of your <5216- humon->
faith <4102-pistis-> in Christ <5547-Christos->.

6 As ye have therefore <3767-oun-> received <3880- paralambano->
Christ <5547-Christos-> Jesus <2424-Iesous-> the Lord <2962-
kurios->, [so] walk <4043-peripateo-> ye in him:

7 Rooted <4492-rhizoo-> and built <2026-epoikodomeo-> up in him,
and stablished <0950-bebaioo-> in the faith <4102- pistis->, as
ye have been taught <1321-didasko->, abounding <4052- perisseuo->
therein <0846-autos-> with thanksgiving <2169- eucharistia->.

8 Beware <0991-blepo-> lest <3361-me-> any <3387- metis-> man
spoil <4812-sulagogeo-> you through <1223-dia-> philosophy <5385-
philosophia-> and vain <2756-kenos-> deceit <0539- apate->, after
<2596-kata-> the tradition <3862-paradosis-> of men <0444-
anthropos->, after <2596-kata-> the rudiments <4747- stoicheion->
of the world <2889-kosmos->, and not after <2596-kata- > Christ
<5547-Christos->.

9 For in him dwelleth <2730-katoikeo-> all <3956-pas- > the
fulness <4138-pleroma-> of the Godhead <2320-theotes-> bodily
<4985-somatikos->.

10 And ye are complete <4137-pleroo-> in him, which < 3739-hos->
is the head <2776-kephale-> of all <3956-pas-> principality
<0746-arche-> and power <1849-exousia->:

11 In whom <3739-hos-> also <2532-kai-> ye are circumcised
<4059-peritemno-> with the circumcision <4061-peritome- > made
<1096-ginomai-> without <0886-acheiropoietos-> hands <0886-
acheiropoietos->, in putting <0555-apekdusis-> off < 0554-
apekduomai-> the body <4983-soma-> of the sins <0266- hamartia->
of the flesh <4561-sarx-> by the circumcision <4061- peritome->
of Christ <5547-Christos->:

12 Buried <4916-sunthapto-> with him in baptism <0908- baptisma-
>, wherein <3757-hou-> also <2532-kai-> ye are risen <4891-
sunegeiro-> with [him] through <1223-dia-> the faith < 4102-
pistis-> of the operation <1753-energeia-> of God < 2316-theos->,
who <3588-ho-> hath raised <1453-egeiro-> him from the dead
<3498-nekros->.

13. And you, being <5607-on-> dead <3498-nekros-> in your <5216-
humon-> sins <3900-paraptoma-> and the uncircumcision <0203-
akrobustia-> of your <5216-humon-> flesh <4561-sarx- >, hath he
quickened <4806-suzoopoieo-> together <4806-suzoopoieo- > with
him, having forgiven <5483-charizomai-> you all <3956- pas->
trespasses <3900-paraptoma->;

14 Blotting <1813-exaleipho-> out the handwriting <5498-
cheirographon-> of ordinances <1378-dogma-> that was against
<2596-kata-> us, which <3739-hos-> was contrary < 5227-
hupenantios-> to us, and took <0142-airo-> it out of the way
<3319-mesos->, nailing <4338-proseloo-> it to his cross <4716-
stauros->;

15 [And] having spoiled <0554-apekduomai-> principalities <0746-
arche-> and powers <1849-exousia->, he made <1165- deigmatizo-> a
shew <1165-deigmatizo-> of them openly <3954-parrhesia- >,
triumphing <2358-thriambeuo-> over them in it.

16. Let no <3361-me-> man <5100-tis-> therefore < 3767-oun->
judge <2919-krino-> you in meat <1035-brosis->, or <2228-e-> in
drink <4213-posis->, or <2228-e-> in respect <3313- meros-> of an
holyday <1859-heorte->, or <2228-e-> of the new < 3561-noumenia->
moon <3561-noumenia->, or <2228-e-> of the sabbath <4521-
sabbaton-> [days]:

17 Which <3739-hos-> are a shadow <4639-skia-> of things to
come <3195-mello->; but the body <4983-soma-> [is] of Christ
<5547-Christos->.

18 Let no <3367-medeis-> man <3367-medeis-> beguile <2603-
katabrabeuo-> you of your reward <2603-katabrabeuo-> in a
voluntary <2309-thelo-> humility <5012-tapeinophrosune- > and
worshipping <2356-threskeia-> of angels <0032-aggelos- >,
intruding <1687-embateuo-> into those things which <3739- hos->
he hath not seen <3708-horao->, vainly <1500-eike-> puffed <5448-
phusioo-> up by his fleshly mind <3563-nous->,

19 And not holding <2902-krateo-> the Head <2776- kephale->,
from which <3739-hos-> all <3956-pas-> the body < 4983-soma-> by
joints <0860-haphe-> and bands <4886-sundesmos-> having
nourishment <2023-epichoregeo-> ministered <2023- epichoregeo->,
and knit <4822-sumbibazo-> together <4822-sumbibazo->,
increaseth <0837-auzano-> with the increase <0838- auxesis-> of
God <2316-theos->.

20 Wherefore <3767-oun-> if <1487-ei-> ye be dead <0599-
apothnesko-> with Christ <5547-Christos-> from the rudiments
<4747-stoicheion-> of the world <2889-kosmos->, why <5101-tis->,
as though living <2198-zao-> in the world <2889-kosmos- >, are ye
subject <1379-dogmatizo-> to ordinances <1379-dogmatizo- >,

21 (Touch <0680-haptomai-> not; taste <1089-geuomai-> not;
handle <2345-thiggano-> not;

22 Which <3739-hos-> all <3956-pas-> are to perish <5356-
phthora-> with the using <0671-apochresis->;) after < 2596-kata->
the commandments <1778-entalma-> and doctrines <1319- didaskalia-
> of men <0444-anthropos->?

23 Which <3748-hostis-> things have <2192-echo-> indeed <3303-
men-> a shew <3056-logos-> of wisdom <4678-sophia-> in will
<1479-ethelothreskeia-> worship <1479-ethelothreskeia- >, and
humility <5012-tapeinophrosune->, and neglecting <0857- apheidia-
> of the body <4983-soma->; not in any <5100-tis-> honour <5092-
time-> to the satisfying <4140-plesmone-> of the flesh <4561-
sarx->.

Colossians 3

1. If <1487-ei-> ye then <3767-oun-> be risen < 4891-sunegeiro->
with Christ <5547-Christos->, seek <2212-zeteo-> those <3588-ho-
> things which are above <0507-ano->, where <3757-hou- > Christ
<5547-Christos-> sitteth <2521-kathemai-> on <1722- en-> the
right <1188-dexios-> hand of God <2316-theos->.

2 Set <5426-phroneo-> your affection <5426-phroneo-> on things
above <0507-ano->, not on things on <1909-epi-> the earth <1093-
ge->.

3 For ye are dead <0599-apothnesko->, and your <5216- humon->
life <2222-zoe-> is hid <2928-krupto-> with Christ <5547-
Christos-> in God <2316-theos->.

4 When <3752-hotan-> Christ <5547-Christos->, [who is] our life
<2222-zoe->, shall appear <5316-phaino->, then < 5119-tote->
shall ye also <2532-kai-> appear <5316-phaino-> with him in
glory <1391-doxa->.

5. Mortify <3499-nekroo-> therefore <3767-oun-> your <5216-
humon-> members <3196-melos-> which <3588-ho-> are upon the
earth <1093-ge->; fornication <4202-porneia->, uncleanness <0167-
akatharsia->, inordinate <3806-pathos-> affection < 3806-pathos->,
evil <2556-kakos-> concupiscence <1939-epithumia->, and
covetousness <4124-pleonexia->, which <3748-hostis-> is idolatry
<1495-eidololatreia->:

6 For which <3739-hos-> things' sake the wrath <3709- orge-> of
God <2316-theos-> cometh <2064-erchomai-> on <1909- epi-> the
children <5207-huios-> of disobedience <0543-apeitheia- >:

7 In the which <3739-hos-> ye also <2532-kai-> walked <4043-
peripateo-> some <4218-pote-> time <4218-pote->, when <3753-hote-
> ye lived <2198-zao-> in them.

8. But now <3570-nuni-> ye also <2532-kai-> put < 0659-
apotithemi-> off <0659-apotithemi-> all <3956-pas-> these <3588-
ho->; anger <3709-orge->, wrath <2372-thumos->, malice <2549-
kakia->, blasphemy <0988-blasphemia->, filthy <0148- aischrologia-
> communication <0148-aischrologia-> out of your < 5216-humon->
mouth <4750-stoma->.

9 Lie <5574-pseudomai-> not one <0240-allelon-> to another
<0240-allelon->, seeing that ye have put <0554- apekduomai-> off
<0554-apekduomai-> the old <3820-palaios-> man < 0444-anthropos->
with his deeds <4234-praxis->;

10 And have put <1746-enduo-> on <1746-enduo-> the new <3501-
neos-> [man], which <3588-ho-> is renewed <0341- anakainoo-> in
knowledge <1922-epignosis-> after <2596-kata-> the image <1504-
eikon-> of him that created <2936-ktizo-> him:

11 Where <3699-hopou-> there is neither <3756-ou-> Greek <1672-
Hellen-> nor <2532-kai-> Jew <2453-Ioudaios->, circumcision
<4061-peritome-> nor <2532-kai-> uncircumcision < 0203-akrobustia-

<1401-doulos-> [nor] free <1658-eleutheros->: but Christ <5547-
Christos-> [is] all <3956-pas->, and in all <3956-pas- >.

12. Put <1746-enduo-> on <1746-enduo-> therefore < 3767-oun->,
as the elect <1588-eklektos-> of God <2316-theos->, holy <0040-
hagios-> and beloved <0025-agapao->, bowels <4698- splagchnon->
of mercies <3628-oiktirmos->, kindness <5544-chrestotes- >,
humbleness <5012-tapeinophrosune-> of mind, meekness < 4236-
praiotes->, longsuffering <3115-makrothumia->;

13 Forbearing <0430-anechomai-> one <0240-allelon-> another
<0240-allelon->, and forgiving <5483-charizomai-> one <1438-
heautou-> another <1438-heautou->, if <1437-ean-> any <5100-tis-

pros-> any <5100-tis->: even <2532-kai-> as Christ <5547-
Christos-> forgave <5483-charizomai-> you, so <3779- houto-> also
<2532-kai-> [do] ye.

14 And above <1909-epi-> all <3956-pas-> these < 5125-toutois->
things [put on] charity <0026-agape->, which <3748- hostis-> is
the bond <4886-sundesmos-> of perfectness <5047- teleiotes->.

15 And let the peace <1515-eirene-> of God <2316-theos- > rule
<1018-brabeuo-> in your <5216-humon-> hearts <2588- kardia->, to
the which <3739-hos-> also <2532-kai-> ye are called <2564-kaleo-
> in one <1520-heis-> body <4983-soma->; and be ye thankful
<2170-eucharistos->.

16 Let the word <3056-logos-> of Christ <5547-Christos- > dwell
<1774-enoikeo-> in you richly <4146-plousios-> in all <3956-pas-

admonishing <3560-noutheteo-> one <1438-heautou-> another <1438-
heautou-> in psalms <5568> and hymns <5215-humnos-> and
spiritual <4152-pneumatikos-> songs <5603-oide->, singing <0103-
aido-> with grace <5485-charis-> in your <5216-humon- > hearts
<2588-kardia-> to the Lord <2962-kurios->.

17 And whatsoever <5100-tis-> ye do <4160-poieo-> in word <3056-
logos-> or <2228-e-> deed <2041-ergon->, [do < 4160-poieo->] all
<3956-pas-> in the name <3686-onoma-> of the Lord < 2962-kurios->
Jesus <2424-Iesous->, giving thanks <2168-eucharisteo- > to God
<2316-theos-> and the Father <3962-pater-> by him.

18. Wives <1135-gune->, submit <5293-hupotasso-> yourselves
unto your <2398-idios-> own <2398-idios-> husbands <0435-aner->,
as it is fit <0433-aneko-> in the Lord <2962-kurios->.

19 Husbands <0435-aner->, love <0025-agapao-> [your <3588-ho->]
wives <1135-gune->, and be not bitter <4087-pikraino-> against
<4314-pros-> them.

20 Children <5043-teknon->, obey <5219-hupakouo-> [your <3588-
ho->] parents <1118-goneus-> in all <3956-pas-> things: for this
<5124-touto-> is well <2101-euarestos-> pleasing < 2101-euarestos-

21 Fathers <3962-pater->, provoke <2042-erethizo-> not your
<5216-humon-> children <5043-teknon-> [to anger], lest <3361-me-

22 Servants <1401-doulos->, obey <5219-hupakouo-> in all <3956-
pas-> things [your <3588-ho->] masters <2962-kurios- > according
<2596-kata-> to the flesh <4561-sarx->; not with eyeservice
<3787-ophthalmodouleia->, as menpleasers <0441- anthropareskos->;
but in singleness <0572-haplotes-> of heart <2588-kardia- >,
fearing <5399-phobeo-> God <2316-theos->:

23 And whatsoever <1437-ean-> ye do <4160-poieo->, do <2038-
ergazomai-> [it] heartily <5590-psuche->, as to the Lord <2962-
kurios->, and not unto men <0444-anthropos->;

24 Knowing <1492-eido-> that of the Lord <2962-kurios- > ye
shall receive <0618-apolambano-> the reward <0469- antapodosis->
of the inheritance <2817-kleronomia->: for ye serve < 1398-
douleuo-> the Lord <2962-kurios-> Christ <5547- Christos->.

25 But he that doeth <0091-adikeo-> wrong <0091-adikeo- > shall
receive <2865-komizo-> for the wrong <0091-adikeo-> which <3739-
hos-> he hath done <0091-adikeo->: and there is no < 3756-ou->
respect <4382-prosopolepsia-> of persons <4382- prosopolepsia->.

Colossians 4

1. Masters <2962-kurios->, give <3930-parecho-> unto [your
<3588-ho->] servants <1401-doulos-> that which is just <1342-

also <2532-kai-> have <2192-echo-> a Master <2962- kurios-> in
heaven <3772-ouranos->.

2. Continue <4342-proskartereo-> in prayer <4335- proseuche->,

3 Withal <0260-hama-> praying <4336-proseuchomai-> also <2532-

unto us a door <2374-thura-> of utterance <3056-logos- >, to
speak <2980-laleo-> the mystery <3466-musterion-> of Christ
<5547-Christos->, for which <3739-hos-> I am also < 2532-kai-> in
bonds <1210-deo->:

4 That I may make <5319-phaneroo-> it manifest <5319- phaneroo->,
as I ought <1163-dei-> to speak <2980-laleo->.

5. Walk <4043-peripateo-> in wisdom <4678-sophia-> toward <4314-
pros-> them that are without <1854-exo->, redeeming < 1805-
exagorazo-> the time <2540-kairos->.

6 Let your <5216-humon-> speech <3056-logos-> [be] alway <0104-

salt <0217-halas->, that ye may know <1492-eido-> how <4459-pos-

hekastos-> man <1520-heis->.

7. All <3956-pas-> my state <2596-kata-> shall Tychicus <5190-

sundoulos-> in the Lord <2962-kurios->:

8 Whom <3739-hos-> I have sent <3992-pempo-> unto you for the
same <0846-autos-> purpose, that he might know <1097- ginosko->

you.

15 Salute <0782-aspazomai-> the brethren <0080-adephos- > which

16 And when <3752-hotan-> this <3588-ho-> epistle <1992-
epistole-> is read <0314-anaginosko-> among <3844- para-> you,
cause <4160-poieo-> that it be read <0314-anaginosko-> also

<1199-desmon->. Grace <5485-charis-> [be] with you. Amen <0281-
