COL-1:1 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God,
and Timotheus

[our] brother,

COL-1:2 To the saints and faithful brethren in Christ which are
at Colosse:

Grace [be] unto you, and peace, from God our Father and the Lord
Jesus Christ.



COL-1:3 We give thanks to God and the Father of our Lord Jesus
Christ,

praying always for you,

COL-1:4 Since we heard of your faith in Christ Jesus, and of
the love [which

ye have] to all the saints,

COL-1:5 For the hope which is laid up for you in heaven,
whereof ye heard

before in the word of the truth of the gospel;

COL-1:6 Which is come unto you, as [it is] in all the world;
and bringeth

forth fruit, as [it doth] also in you, since the day ye heard
[of it], and

knew the grace of God in truth:

COL-1:7 As ye also learned of Epaphras our dear fellowservant,
who is for you

a faithful minister of Christ;

COL-1:8 Who also declared unto us your love in the Spirit.

COL-1:9 For this cause we also, since the day we heard [it], do
not cease to

pray for you, and to desire that ye might be filled with the
knowledge of his

will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding;

COL-1:10 That ye might walk worthy of the Lord unto all
pleasing, being

fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of
God;

COL-1:11 Strengthened with all might, according to his glorious
power, unto

all patience and longsuffering with joyfulness;

COL-1:12 Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet
to be

partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light:

COL-1:13 Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and
hath

translated [us] into the kingdom of his dear Son:

COL-1:14 In whom we have redemption through his blood, [even]
the forgiveness

of sins:

COL-1:15 Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn
of every

creature:

COL-1:16 For by him were all things created, that are in heaven,
and that are

in earth, visible and invisible, whether [they be] thrones, or
dominions, or

principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and
for him:

COL-1:17 And he is before all things, and by him all things
consist.

COL-1:18 And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the
beginning,

the firstborn from the dead; that in all [things] he might have
the

preeminence.

COL-1:19 For it pleased [the Father] that in him should all
fulness dwell;

COL-1:20 And, having made peace through the blood of his cross,
by him to

reconcile all things unto himself; by him, [I say], whether
[they be] things

in earth, or things in heaven.

COL-1:21 And you, that were sometime alienated and enemies in
[your] mind by

wicked works, yet now hath he reconciled

COL-1:22 In the body of his flesh through death, to present you
holy and

unblameable and unreproveable in his sight:

COL-1:23 If ye continue in the faith grounded and settled, and
[be] not moved

away from the hope of the gospel, which ye have heard, [and]
which was

preached to every creature which is under heaven; whereof I Paul
am made a

minister;

COL-1:24 Who now rejoice in my sufferings for you, and fill up
that which is

behind of the afflictions of Christ in my flesh for his body's
sake, which is

the church:

COL-1:25 Whereof I am made a minister, according to the
dispensation of God

which is given to me for you, to fulfil the word of God;

COL-1:26 [Even] the mystery which hath been hid from ages and
from

generations, but now is made manifest to his saints:

COL-1:27 To whom God would make known what [is] the riches of
the glory of

this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the
hope of glory:

COL-1:28 Whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching every
man in all

wisdom; that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus:

COL-1:29 Whereunto I also labour, striving according to his
working, which

worketh in me mightily.

COL-2:1 For I would that ye knew what great conflict I have for
you, and

[for] them at Laodicea, and [for] as many as have not seen my
face in the

flesh;

COL-2:2 That their hearts might be comforted, being knit
together in love,

and unto all riches of the full assurance of understanding, to
the

acknowledgement of the mystery of God, and of the Father, and of
Christ;

COL-2:3 In whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and
knowledge.

COL-2:4 And this I say, lest any man should beguile you with
enticing words.

COL-2:5 For though I be absent in the flesh, yet am I with you
in the spirit,

joying and beholding your order, and the stedfastness of your
faith in Christ.



COL-2:6 As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord,
[so] walk ye in

him:

COL-2:7 Rooted and built up in him, and stablished in the faith,
as ye have

been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving.

COL-2:8 Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and
vain deceit,

after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world,
and not after

Christ.

COL-2:9 For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead
bodily.

COL-2:10 And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all
principality

and power:

COL-2:11 In whom also ye are circumcised with the circumcision
made without

hands, in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh by the
circumcision of

Christ:

COL-2:12 Buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen
with [him]

through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him
from the dead.

COL-2:13 And you, being dead in your sins and the
uncircumcision of your

flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you
all

trespasses;

COL-2:14 Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was
against us,

which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it
to his cross;



COL-2:15 [And] having spoiled principalities and powers, he
made a shew of

them openly, triumphing over them in it.

COL-2:16 Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink,
or in respect

of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath [days]:

COL-2:17 Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body
[is] of Christ.

COL-2:18 Let no man beguile you of your reward in a voluntary
humility and

worshipping of angels, intruding into those things which he hath
not seen,

vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind,

COL-2:19 And not holding the Head, from which all the body by
joints and

bands having nourishment ministered, and knit together,
increaseth with the

increase of God.

COL-2:20 Wherefore if ye be dead with Christ from the rudiments
of the world,

why, as though living in the world, are ye subject to ordinances,

COL-2:21 (Touch not; taste not; handle not;

COL-2:22 Which all are to perish with the using;) after the
commandments and

doctrines of men?

COL-2:23 Which things have indeed a shew of wisdom in will
worship, and

humility, and neglecting of the body; not in any honour to the
satisfying of

the flesh.

COL-3:1 If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things
which are above,

where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God.

COL-3:2 Set your affection on things above, not on things on
the earth.

COL-3:3 For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in
God.

COL-3:4 When Christ, [who is] our life, shall appear, then
shall ye also

appear with him in glory.

COL-3:5 Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth;
fornication,

uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and
covetousness, which

is idolatry:

COL-3:6 For which things' sake the wrath of God cometh on the
children of

disobedience:

COL-3:7 In the which ye also walked some time, when ye lived in
them.

COL-3:8 But now ye also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice,
blasphemy,

filthy communication out of your mouth.

COL-3:9 Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off the
old man with

his deeds;

COL-3:10 And have put on the new [man], which is renewed in
knowledge after

the image of him that created him:

COL-3:11 Where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor

uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond [nor] free: but Christ
[is] all, and

in all.

COL-3:12 Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and
beloved, bowels of

mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering;

COL-3:13 Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if
any man have a

quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also [do] ye.

COL-3:14 And above all these things [put on] charity, which is
the bond of

perfectness.

COL-3:15 And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the
which also ye

are called in one body; and be ye thankful.

COL-3:16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all
wisdom; teaching

and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual
songs, singing

with grace in your hearts to the Lord.

COL-3:17 And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, [do] all in the
name of the

Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.

COL-3:18 Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as it
is fit in the

Lord.

COL-3:19 Husbands, love [your] wives, and be not bitter against
them.

COL-3:20 Children, obey [your] parents in all things: for this
is well

pleasing unto the Lord.

COL-3:21 Fathers, provoke not your children [to anger], lest
they be

discouraged.

COL-3:22 Servants, obey in all things [your] masters according
to the flesh;

not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but in singleness of heart,
fearing God:

COL-3:23 And whatsoever ye do, do [it] heartily, as to the Lord,
and not unto

men;

COL-3:24 Knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward
of the

inheritance: for ye serve the Lord Christ.

COL-3:25 But he that doeth wrong shall receive for the wrong
which he hath

done: and there is no respect of persons.

COL-4:1 Masters, give unto [your] servants that which is just
and equal;

knowing that ye also have a Master in heaven.

COL-4:2 Continue in prayer, and watch in the same with
thanksgiving;

COL-4:3 Withal praying also for us, that God would open unto us
a door of

utterance, to speak the mystery of Christ, for which I am also
in bonds:

COL-4:4 That I may make it manifest, as I ought to speak.

COL-4:5 Walk in wisdom toward them that are without, redeeming
the time.

COL-4:6 Let your speech [be] alway with grace, seasoned with
salt, that ye

may know how ye ought to answer every man.

COL-4:7 All my state shall Tychicus declare unto you, [who is]
a beloved

brother, and a faithful minister and fellowservant in the Lord:

COL-4:8 Whom I have sent unto you for the same purpose, that he
might know

your estate, and comfort your hearts;

COL-4:9 With Onesimus, a faithful and beloved brother, who is
[one] of you.

They shall make known unto you all things which [are done] here.

COL-4:10 Aristarchus my fellowprisoner saluteth you, and Marcus,
sister's son

to Barnabas, (touching whom ye received commandments: if he come
unto you,

receive him;)

COL-4:11 And Jesus, which is called Justus, who are of the
circumcision.

These only [are my] fellowworkers unto the kingdom of God, which
have been a

comfort unto me.

COL-4:12 Epaphras, who is [one] of you, a servant of Christ,
saluteth you,

always labouring fervently for you in prayers, that ye may stand
perfect and

complete in all the will of God.

COL-4:13 For I bear him record, that he hath a great zeal for
you, and them

[that are] in Laodicea and them in Hierapolis.

COL-4:14 Luke, the beloved physician, and Demas, greet you.

COL-4:15 Salute the brethren which are in Laodicea, and Nymphas,
and the

church which is in his house.

COL-4:16 And when this epistle is read among you, cause that it
be read also

in the church of the Laodiceans; and that ye likewise read the
[epistle] from

Laodicea.

COL-4:17 And say to Archippus, Take heed to the ministry which
thou hast

received in the Lord, that thou fulfil it.

COL-4:18 The salutation by the hand of me Paul. Remember my
bonds. Grace [be]

with you. Amen.
