king james study 11 Paul an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God and Timotheus our brother . 12 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 . 13 We give thanks to God and the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ praying always for you . 14 Since we heard of your faith in Christ Jesus and of the love which ye have to all the saints . 15 For the hope which is laid up for you in heaven whereof ye heard before in the word of the truth of the gospel . 16 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 . 17 As ye also learned of Epaphras our dear fellowservant who is for you a faithful minister of Christ . 18 Who also declared unto us your love in the Spirit . 19 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 . 110 That ye might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing being fruitful in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God . 111 Strengthened with all might according to his glorious power unto all patience and longsuffering with joyfulness . 112 Giving thanks unto the Father which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light . 113 Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son . 114 In whom we have redemption through his blood even the forgiveness of sins . 115 Who is the image of the invisible God the firstborn of every creature . 116 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 . 117 And he is before all things and by him all things consist . 118 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 . 119 For it pleased the Father that in him should all fulness dwell . 120 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 . 121 And you that were sometime alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works yet now hath he reconciled . 122 In the body of his flesh through death to present you holy and unblameable and unreproveable in his sight . 123 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 . 124 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 . 125 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 . 126 Even the mystery which hath been hid from ages and from generations but now is made manifest to his saints . 127 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 . 128 Whom we preach warning every man and teaching every man in all wisdom that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus . 129 Whereunto I also labour striving according to his working which worketh in me mightily . * 21 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 . 22 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 . 23 In whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge . 24 And this I say lest any man should beguile you with enticing words . 25 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 . 26 As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord so walk ye in him . 27 Rooted and built up in him and stablished in the faith as ye have been taught abounding therein with thanksgiving . 28 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 . 29 For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily . 210 And ye are complete in him which is the head of all principality and power . 211 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 . 212 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 . 213 And you being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh hath he quickened together with him having forgiven you all trespasses . 214 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 . 215 And having spoiled principalities and powers he made a shew of them openly triumphing over them in it . 216 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 . 217 Which are a shadow of things to come but the body is of Christ . 218 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 . 219 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 . 220 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 . 221 (Touch not taste not handle not . 222 Which all are to perish with the using after the commandments and doctrines of men . 223 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 . * 31 If ye then be risen with Christ seek those things which are above where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God . 32 Set your affection on things above not on things on the earth . 33 For ye are dead and your life is hid with Christ in God . 34 When Christ who is our life shall appear then shall ye also appear with him in glory . 35 Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth fornication uncleanness inordinate affection evil concupiscence and covetousness which is idolatry . 36 For which things' sake the wrath of God cometh on the children of disobedience . 37 In the which ye also walked some time when ye lived in them . 38 But now ye also put off all these anger wrath malice blasphemy filthy communication out of your mouth . 39 Lie not one to another seeing that ye have put off the old man with his deeds . 310 And have put on the new man which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him . 311 Where there is neither Greek nor Jew circumcision nor uncircumcision Barbarian Scythian bond nor free but Christ is all and in all . 312 Put on therefore as the elect of God holy and beloved bowels of mercies kindness humbleness of mind meekness longsuffering . 313 Forbearing one another and forgiving one another if any man have a quarrel against any even as Christ forgave you so also do ye . 314 And above all these things put on charity which is the bond of perfectness . 315 And let the peace of God rule in your hearts to the which also ye are called in one body and be ye thankful . 316 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 . 317 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 . 318 Wives submit yourselves unto your own husbands as it is fit in the Lord . 319 Husbands love your wives and be not bitter against them . 320 Children obey your parents in all things for this is well pleasing unto the Lord . 321 Fathers provoke not your children to anger lest they be discouraged . 322 Servants obey in all things your masters according to the |
