Col 01:01 ¶ Paul <3972>, an apostle <652> of Jesus <
2424> Christ
<5547> by <1223> the will <2307> of God <
2316>, and <2532>
Timotheus <5095> our brother <80>,
Col 01:02 To the saints <40> and <2532> faithful <
4103>
brethren <80> in <1722> Christ <5547> which are
at <1722>
Colosse <2857>: Grace <5485> be unto you <5213>,
and <2532>
peace <1515>, from <575> God <2316> our <
2257> Father <3962> and
<2532> the Lord <2962> Jesus <2424> Christ <
5547>.
Col 01:03 ¶ We give thanks <2168> (5719) to God <2316>
and
<2532> the Father <3962> of our <2257> Lord <
2962> Jesus <2424>
Christ <5547>, praying <4336> (5740) always <
3842> for <4012>
you <5216>,
Col 01:04 Since we heard <191> (5660) of your <5216>
faith
<4102> in <1722> Christ <5547> Jesus <
2424>, and <2532> of the
love <26> which <3588> ye have to <1519> all
<3956> the saints
<40>,
Col 01:05 For <1223> the hope <1680> which <
3588> is laid up
<606> (5740) for you <5213> in <1722> heaven
<3772>, whereof
<3739> ye heard before <4257> (5656) in <1722>
the word <3056>
of the truth <225> of the gospel <2098>;
Col 01:06 Which <3588> is come <3918> (5752) unto
<1519> you
<5209>, as <2531> <2532> it is in <1722>
all <3956> the world
<2889>; and <2532> bringeth forth fruit <2076>
(5748) <2592>
(5734), as <2531> it doth also <2532> in <1722>
you <5213>,
since <575> the <3739> day <2250> ye heard <
191> (5656) of it,
and <2532> knew <1921> (5627) the grace <5485>
of God <2316> in
<1722> truth <225>:
Col 01:07 As <2531> ye <3129> <0> also <
2532> learned <3129>
(5627) of <575> Epaphras <1889> our <2257> dear
<27>
fellowservant <4889>, who <3739> is <2076>
(5748) for <5228> you
<5216> a faithful <4103> minister <1249> of
Christ <5547>;
Col 01:08 Who <3588> also <2532> declared <
1213> (5660) unto us
<2254> your <5216> love <26> in <1722>
the Spirit <4151>.
Col 01:09 ¶ For <1223> this cause <5124> we <
2249> also <2532>,
since <575> the <3739> day <2250> we heard <
191> (5656) it, do
<3973> <0> not <3756> cease <3973> (5731)
to pray <4336> (5740)
for <5228> you <5216>, and <2532> to desire <
154> (5734) that
<2443> ye might be filled <4137> (5686) with the
knowledge
<1922> of his <846> will <2307> in <1722>
all <3956> wisdom
<4678> and <2532> spiritual <4152>
understanding <4907>;
Col 01:10 That ye <5209> might walk <4043> (5658)
worthy <516>
of the Lord <2962> unto <1519> all <3956>
pleasing <699>, being
fruitful <2592> (5723) in <1722> every <3956>
good <18> work
<2041>, and <2532> increasing <837> (5746) in
<1519> the
knowledge <1922> of God <2316>;
Col 01:11 Strengthened <1412> (5746) with <1722> all
<3956>
might <1411>, according to <2596> his <846>
glorious <1391>
power <2904>, unto <1519> all <3956> patience
<5281> and <2532>
longsuffering <3115> with <3326> joyfulness <
5479>;
Col 01:12 ¶ Giving thanks <2168> (5723) unto the Father <
3962>,
which <3588> hath made <2427> <0> us <
2248> meet <2427> (5660)
to <1519> be partakers <3310> of the inheritance <
2819> of the
saints <40> in <1722> light <5457>:
Col 01:13 Who <3739> hath delivered <4506> (5673) us
<2248>
from <1537> the power <1849> of darkness <4655>,
and <2532> hath
translated <3179> (5656) us into <1519> the kingdom
<932> of his
<846> dear <26> Son <5207>:
Col 01:14 In <1722> whom <3739> we have <2192>
(5719)
redemption <629> through <1223> his <846> blood
<129>, even the
forgiveness <859> of sins <266>:
Col 01:15 Who <3739> is <2076> (5748) the image <
1504> of the
invisible <517> God <2316>, the firstborn <4416>
of every <3956>
creature <2937>:
Col 01:16 For <3754> by <1722> him <846> were
<2936> <0> all
things <3956> created <2936> (5681), that are in <
1722> heaven
<3772>, and <2532> that are in <1909> earth <
1093>, visible
<3707> and <2532> invisible <517>, whether <
1535> they be
thrones <2362>, or <1535> dominions <2963>, or
<1535>
principalities <746>, or <1535> powers <1849>:
all things <3956>
were created <2936> (5769) by <1223> him <846>,
and <2532> for
<1519> him <846>:
Col 01:17 And <2532> he <846> is <2076> (5748)
before <4253>
all things <3956>, and <2532> by <1722> him <
846> all things
<3956> consist <4921> (5758).
Col 01:18 And <2532> he <846> is <2076> (5748)
the head <2776>
of the body <4983>, the church <1577>: who <
3739> is <2076>
(5748) the beginning <746>, the firstborn <4416> from
<1537> the
dead <3498>; that <2443> in <1722> all <
3956> things he <846>
might have <1096> (5638) the preeminence <4409>
(5723).
Col 01:19 For it pleased <2106> (5656) the Father that <
3754>
in <1722> him <846> should <2730> <0> all
<3956> fulness <4138>
dwell <2730> (5658);
Col 01:20 And <2532>, having made peace <1517>
(5660) through
<1223> the blood <129> of his <846> cross <
4716>, by <1223> him
<846> to reconcile <604> (5658) all things <
3956> unto <1519>
himself <846>; by <1223> him <846>, I say,
whether <1535> they
be things in <1909> earth <1093>, or <1535>
things in <1722>
heaven <3772>.
Col 01:21 And <2532> you <5209>, that were <
5607> (5752)
sometime <4218> alienated <526> (5772) and <
2532> enemies <2190>
in your mind <1271> by <1722> wicked <4190>
works <2041>, yet
<1161> now <3570> hath he reconciled <604>
(5656)
Col 01:22 In <1722> the body <4983> of his <
846> flesh <4561>
through <1223> death <2288>, to present <3936>
(5658) you <5209>
holy <40> and <2532> unblameable <299> and <
2532> unreproveable
<410> in his <846> sight <2714>:
Col 01:23 If <1489> ye continue <1961> (5719) in the
faith
<4102> grounded <2311> (5772) and <2532>
settled <1476>, and
<2532> be not <3361> moved away <3334> (5746)
from <575> the
hope <1680> of the gospel <2098>, which <3739>
ye have heard
<191> (5656), and which <3588> was preached <
2784> (5685) to
<1722> every <3956> creature <2937> which is
under <5259> heaven
<3772>; whereof <3739> I <1473> Paul <
3972> am made <1096>
(5633) a minister <1249>;
Col 01:24 Who <3739> now <3568> rejoice <5463>
(5719) in <1722>
my <3450> sufferings <3804> for <5228> you <
5216>, and <2532>
fill up <466> (5719) that which is behind <5303> of
the
afflictions <2347> of Christ <5547> in <1722>
my <3450> flesh
<4561> for <5228> <0> his <846> body’s
<4983> sake <5228>, which
is <3603> (5748) the church <1577>:
Col 01:25 Whereof <3739> I <1473> am made <
1096> (5633) a
minister <1249>, according to <2596> the dispensation
<3622> of
God <2316> which <3588> is given <1325> (5685)
to me <3427> for
<1519> you <5209>, to fulfil <4137> (5658) the
word <3056> of
God <2316>;
Col 01:26 Even the mystery <3466> which <3588> hath
been hid
<613> (5772) from <575> ages <165> and <
2532> from <575>
generations <1074>, but <1161> now <3570> is
made manifest
<5319> (5681) to his <846> saints <40>:
Col 01:27 To whom <3739> God <2316> would <
2309> (5656) make
known <1107> (5658) what <5101> is the riches <
4149> of the
glory <1391> of this <5127> mystery <3466>
among <1722> the
Gentiles <1484>; which <3739> is <2076> (5748)
Christ <5547> in
<1722> you <5213>, the hope <1680> of glory <
1391>:
Col 01:28 Whom <3739> we <2249> preach <2605>
(5719), warning
<3560> (5723) every <3956> man <444>, and <
2532> teaching <1321>
(5723) every <3956> man <444> in <1722> all <
3956> wisdom <4678>;
that <2443> we may present <3936> (5661) every <
3956> man <444>
perfect <5046> in <1722> Christ <5547> Jesus
<2424>:
Col 01:29 Whereunto <1519> <3739> I <2872> <
0> also <2532>
labour <2872> (5719), striving <75> (5740) according
to <2596>
his <846> working <1753>, which <3588> worketh
<1754> (5734) in
<1722> me <1698> mightily <1722> <1411>.
Col 02:01 ¶ For <1063> I would <2309> (5719) that ye
<5209> knew
<1492> (5760) what great <2245> conflict <73> I
have <2192>
(5719) for <4012> you <5216>, and <2532> for
them at <1722>
Laodicea <2993>, and <2532> for as many as <
3745> have <3708>
<0> not <3756> seen <3708> (5758) my <
3450> face <4383> in
<1722> the flesh <4561>;
Col 02:02 That <2443> their <846> hearts <2588>
might be
comforted <3870> (5686), being knit together <4822>
(5685) in
<1722> love <26>, and <2532> unto <1519>
all <3956> riches
<4149> of the full assurance <4136> of understanding
<4907>, to
<1519> the acknowledgement <1922> of the mystery <
3466> of God
<2316>, and <2532> of the Father <3962>, and
<2532> of Christ
<5547>;
Col 02:03 In <1722> whom <3739> are <1526>
(5748) hid <614> all
<3956> the treasures <2344> of wisdom <4678>
and <2532>
knowledge <1108>.
Col 02:04 ¶ And <1161> this <5124> I say <3004>
(5719), lest
<3363> any man <5100> should beguile <3884>
(5741) you <5209>
with <1722> enticing words <4086>.
Col 02:05 For <1063> though <1499> I be absent <
548> (5748) in
the flesh <4561>, yet <235> am I <1510> (5748)
with <4862> you
<5213> in the spirit <4151>, joying <5463>
(5723) and <2532>
beholding <991> (5723) your <5216> order <5010>,
and <2532> the
stedfastness <4733> of your <5216> faith <4102>
in <1519> Christ
<5547>.
Col 02:06 As <5613> ye have <3880> <0>
therefore <3767>
received <3880> (5627) Christ <5547> Jesus <
2424> the Lord
<2962>, so walk ye <4043> (5720) in <1722> him
<846>:
Col 02:07 Rooted <4492> (5772) and <2532> built up
<2026>
(5746) in <1722> him <846>, and <2532>
stablished <950> (5746)
in <1722> the faith <4102>, as <2531> ye have
been taught <1321>
(5681), abounding <4052> (5723) therein <1722> <
846> with <1722>
thanksgiving <2169>.
Col 02:08 Beware <991> (5720) lest <3361> any man
<5100> spoil
<2071> (5704) <4812> (5723) you <5209> through
<1223> philosophy
<5385> and <2532> vain <2756> deceit <539>
, after <2596> the
tradition <3862> of men <444>, after <2596> the
rudiments <4747>
of the world <2889>, and <2532> not <3756>
after <2596> Christ
<5547>.
Col 02:09 For <3754> in <1722> him <846>
dwelleth <2730> (5719)
all <3956> the fulness <4138> of the Godhead <
2320> bodily
<4985>.
Col 02:10 And <2532> ye are <2075> (5748) complete
<4137>
(5772) in <1722> him <846>, which <3739> is <
2076> (5748) the
head <2776> of all <3956> principality <746>
and <2532> power
<1849>:
Col 02:11 In <1722> whom <3739> also <2532> ye
are circumcised
<4059> (5681) with the circumcision <4061> made
without hands
<886>, in <1722> putting off <555> the body <
4983> of the sins
<266> of the flesh <4561> by <1722> the
circumcision <4061> of
Christ <5547>:
Col 02:12 Buried with <4916> (5651) him <846> in <
1722> baptism
<908>, wherein <1722> <3739> also <2532>
ye are risen with
<4891> (5681) him through <1223> the faith <
4102> of the
operation <1753> of God <2316>, who <3588> hath
raised <1453>
(5660) him <846> from <1537> the dead <3498>.
Col 02:13 ¶ And <2532> you <5209>, being <5607>
(5752) dead
<3498> in <1722> your sins <3900> and <
2532> the uncircumcision
<203> of your <5216> flesh <4561>, hath he
quickened together
<4806> (5656) with <4862> him <846>, having
forgiven <5483>
(5666) you <5213> all <3956> trespasses <3900>;
Col 02:14 Blotting out <1813> (5660) the handwriting <
5498> of
ordinances <1378> that was against <2596> us <
2257>, which
<3739> was <2258> (5713) contrary <5227> to us
<2254>, and
<2532> took <142> (5758) it <846> out of <
1537> the way <3319>,
nailing <4338> (5660) it <846> to his cross <
4716>;
Col 02:15 And having spoiled <554> (5666) principalities
<746>
and <2532> powers <1849>, he made a shew of them <
1165> (5656)
openly <1722> <3954>, triumphing over <2358>
(5660) them <846>
in <1722> it <846>.
Col 02:16 ¶ Let <2919> <0> no <3361> man <

judge <2919> (5720) you <5209> in <1722> meat
