Colossians 1

1. Paul <3972>, an apostle <0652> of Jesus < 2424> Christ <5547>
by the will <2307> of God <2316>, and Timotheus < 5095> [our]
brother <0080>,

2 To the saints <0040> and faithful <4103> brethren <0080> in
Christ <5547> which are at <1722> Colosse <2857> : Grace <5485>
[be] unto you, and peace <1515>, from God <2316> our Father
<3962> and the Lord <2962> Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>.

3. We give thanks <2168> to God <2316> and the Father <3962> of
our Lord <2962> Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>, praying <4336>
always <3842> for you,

4 Since we heard <0191> of your <5216> faith < 4102> in Christ
<5547> Jesus <2424>, and of the love <0026> [which <3588> ye
have] to all <3956> the saints <0040>,

5 For the hope <1680> which <3588> is laid < 0606> up for you
in heaven <3772>, whereof <3739> ye heard <4257> before <4257>
in the word <3056> of the truth <0226> of the gospel <2098>;

6 Which <3588> is come <3918> unto you, as [it is] in all
<3956> the world <2889>; and bringeth <2592> forth fruit <2592>,
as [it doth] also <2532> in you, since <0575> the day <2250> ye
heard <0191> [of it], and knew <1921> the grace < 5485> of God
<2316> in truth <0226>:

7 As ye also <2532> learned <3129> of Epaphras < 1889> our dear
<0027> fellowservant <4889>, who <3739> is for you a faithful
<4103> minister <1249> of Christ <5547>;

8 Who <3588> also <2532> declared <1213> unto us your <5216>
love <0026> in the Spirit <4151>.

9. For this <5124> cause <5124> we also <2532>, since <0575>
the day <2250> we heard <0191> [it], do not cease < 3973> to pray
<4336> for you, and to desire <0154> that ye might be filled
<4137> with the knowledge <1922> of his will < 2307> in all
<3956> wisdom <4678> and spiritual <4152> understanding <4907>;

10 That ye might walk <4043> worthy <0516> of the Lord <2962>
unto all <3956> pleasing <0699>, being fruitful < 2592> in every
<3596> good <0018> work <2041>, and increasing <0837> in the
knowledge <1922> of God <2316>;

11 Strengthened <1412> with all <3956> might < 1411>, according
<2596> to his glorious <1391> power <2904>, unto all <3956>
patience <5281> and longsuffering <3115> with joyfulness <5479>;

12. Giving thanks <2168> unto the Father <3962>, which <3588>
hath made <2427> us meet <2427> to be partakers < 3310> of the
inheritance <2819> of the saints <0040> in light < 5457>:

13 Who <3739> hath delivered <4506> us from the power <1849>
of darkness <4655>, and hath translated <3179> [us] into <1519>
the kingdom <0932> of his dear <0026> Son <5207> :

14 In whom <3739> we have <2192> redemption < 0629> through
<1223> his blood <0129>, [even] the forgiveness < 0859> of sins
<0266>:

15 Who <3739> is the image <1504> of the invisible <0517> God
<2316>, the firstborn <4416> of every <3596> creature <2937>:

16 For by him were all <3956> things created <2936>, that are
in heaven <3772>, and that are in earth <1093>, visible <3707>
and invisible <0517>, whether <1535> [they be] thrones <2362>,
or <1535> dominions <2963>, or <1535> principalities <0746>, or
<1535> powers <1849>: all <3956> things were created <2936> by
him, and for him:

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

18 And he is the head <2776> of the body <4983>, the church
<1577>: who <3739> is the beginning <0746>, the firstborn <4416>
from the dead <3498>; that in all <3956> [things] he might have
the preeminence <4409>.

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

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

21 And you, that were sometime <4218> alienated < 0526> and
enemies <2190> in [your <3588>] mind <1271> by wicked <4190>
works <2041>, yet <1161> now <3570> hath he reconciled <0604>

22 In the body <4983> of his flesh <4561> through <1223> death
<2288>, to present <3936> you holy <0040> and unblameable <0299>
and unreproveable <0410> in his sight <2714>:

23 If <1489> ye continue <1961> in the faith < 4102> grounded
<2311> and settled <1476>, and [be] not moved < 3334> away <3334>
from the hope <1680> of the gospel <2098>, which ye have heard
<0191>, [and] which <3588> was preached <2784> to every <3596>
creature <2937> which is under <5259> heaven < 3772>; whereof
<3739> I Paul <3972> am made <1096> a minister <1249>;

24 Who now <3568> rejoice <5463> in my sufferings <3804> for
you, and fill <0466> up that which is behind <5303> of the
afflictions <2347> of Christ <5547> in my flesh < 4561> for his
body's <4983> sake, which <3739> is the church < 1577>:

25 Whereof <3739> I am made <1096> a minister < 1249>,
according <2596> to the dispensation <3622> of God <2316> which
<3588> is given <1325> to me for you, to fulfil < 4137> the word
<3056> of God <2316>;

26 [Even] the mystery <3466> which <3588> hath been hid <0613>
from ages <0165> and from generations <1074>, but now <3570> is
made <5319> manifest <5319> to his saints <0040> :

27 To whom <3739> God <2316> would <2309> make <1107> known
<1107> what <5101> [is] the riches <4149> of the glory <1391> of
this <5127> mystery <3466> among <1722> the Gentiles <1484>;
which <3739> is Christ <5547> in you, the hope < 1680> of glory
<1391>:

28 Whom <3739> we preach <2605>, warning < 3560> every <3596>
man <0444>, and teaching <1321> every <3596> man <0444> in all
<3956> wisdom <4678>; that we may present <3936> every <3596>
man <0444> perfect <5046> in Christ <5547> Jesus <2424>:

29 Whereunto <3739> I also <2532> labour < 2872>, striving
<0075> according <2596> to his working <1753>, which <3588>
worketh <1754> in me mightily <1411>.

Colossians 2

1. For I would <2309> that ye knew <1492> what < 2245> great
<2245> conflict <0073> I have <2192> for you, and [for] them at
<1722> Laodicea <2993>, and [for] as many <3745> as have not
seen <3708> my face <4383> in the flesh <4561>;

2 That their hearts <2588> might be comforted <3870> , being
knit <4822> together <4822> in love <0026>, and unto all <3956>
riches <4149> of the full <4136> assurance < 4136> of
understanding <4907>, to the acknowledgement <1922> of the
mystery <3466> of God <2316>, and of the Father < 3962>, and of
Christ <5547>;

3 In whom <3739> are hid <0614> all <3956> the treasures
<2344> of wisdom <4678> and knowledge <1108>.

4. And this <5124> I say <3004>, lest <3361> any <3387> man
should beguile <3884> you with enticing <4086> words <4086>.

5 For though <1499> I be absent <0548> in the flesh <4561>,
yet <0235> am <1510> I with you in the spirit < 4151>, joying
<5463> and beholding <0991> your <5216> order <5010>, and the
stedfastness <4733> of your <5216> faith <4102> in Christ <5547>.

6 As ye have therefore <3767> received <3880> Christ <5547>
Jesus <2424> the Lord <2962>, [so] walk <4043> ye in him:

7 Rooted <4492> and built <2026> up in him, and stablished
<0950> in the faith <4102>, as ye have been taught <1321>,
abounding <4052> therein <0846> with thanksgiving < 2169>.

8 Beware <0991> lest <3361> any <3387> man spoil <4812> you
through <1223> philosophy <5385> and vain <2756> deceit <0539>,
after <2596> the tradition <3862> of men <0444>, after <2596>
the rudiments <4747> of the world <2889>, and not after <2596>
Christ <5547>.

9 For in him dwelleth <2730> all <3956> the fulness <4138> of
the Godhead <2320> bodily <4985>.

10 And ye are complete <4137> in him, which <3739> is the head
<2776> of all <3956> principality <0746> and power <1849>:

11 In whom <3739> also <2532> ye are circumcised <4059> with
the circumcision <4061> made <1096> without < 0886> hands <0886>,
in putting <0555> off <0554> the body <4983> of the sins <0266>
of the flesh <4561> by the circumcision <4061> of Christ <5547>:

12 Buried <4916> with him in baptism <0908>, wherein <3757>
also <2532> ye are risen <4891> with [him] through <1223> the
faith <4102> of the operation <1753> of God < 2316>, who <3588>
hath raised <1453> him from the dead <3498>.

13. And you, being <5607> dead <3498> in your < 5216> sins
<3900> and the uncircumcision <0203> of your < 5216> flesh <4561>,
hath he quickened <4806> together <4806> with him, having
forgiven <5483> you all <3956> trespasses <3900> ;

14 Blotting <1813> out the handwriting <5498> of ordinances
<1378> that was against <2596> us, which <3739> was contrary
<5227> to us, and took <0142> it out of the way < 3319>, nailing
<4338> it to his cross <4716>;

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

16. Let no <3361> man <5100> therefore <3767> judge <2919> you
in meat <1035>, or <2228> in drink <4213>, or <2228> in respect
<3313> of an holyday <1859>, or <2228> of the new <3561> moon
<3561>, or <2228> of the sabbath <4521> [days]:

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

18 Let no <3367> man <3367> beguile <2603> you of your reward
<2603> in a voluntary <2309> humility <5012> and worshipping
<2356> of angels <0032>, intruding <1687> into those things
which <3739> he hath not seen <3708>, vainly < 1500> puffed
<5448> up by his fleshly mind <3563>,

19 And not holding <2902> the Head <2776>, from which <3739>
all <3956> the body <4983> by joints <0860> and bands <4886>
having nourishment <2023> ministered <2023>, and knit <4822>
together <4822>, increaseth <0837> with the increase <0838> of
God <2316>.

20 Wherefore <3767> if <1487> ye be dead < 0599> with Christ
<5547> from the rudiments <4747> of the world < 2889>, why <5101>,
as though living <2198> in the world <2889>, are ye subject
<1379> to ordinances <1379>,

21 (Touch <0680> not; taste <1089> not; handle < 2345> not;

22 Which <3739> all <3956> are to perish < 5356> with the using
<0671>;) after <2596> the commandments <1778> and doctrines
<1319> of men <0444>?

23 Which <3748> things have <2192> indeed < 3303> a shew <3056>
of wisdom <4678> in will <1479> worship <1479>, and humility
<5012>, and neglecting <0857> of the body <4983> ; not in any
<5100> honour <5092> to the satisfying <4140> of the flesh
<4561>.

Colossians 3

1. If <1487> ye then <3767> be risen <4891> with Christ <5547>,
seek <2212> those <3588> things which are above < 0507>, where
<3757> Christ <5547> sitteth <2521> on < 1722> the right <1188>
hand of God <2316>.

2 Set <5426> your affection <5426> on things above <0507>, not
on things on <1909> the earth <1093>.

3 For ye are dead <0599>, and your <5216> life < 2222> is hid
<2928> with Christ <5547> in God <2316>.

4 When <3752> Christ <5547>, [who is] our life < 2222>, shall
appear <5316>, then <5119> shall ye also <2532> appear <5316>
with him in glory <1391>.

5. Mortify <3499> therefore <3767> your <5216> members <3196>
which <3588> are upon the earth <1093>; fornication <4202>,
uncleanness <0167>, inordinate <3806> affection < 3806>, evil
<2556> concupiscence <1939>, and covetousness < 4124>, which
<3748> is idolatry <1495>:

6 For which <3739> things' sake the wrath <3709> of God <2316>
cometh <2064> on <1909> the children <5207> of disobedience
<0543>:

7 In the which <3739> ye also <2532> walked < 4043> some <4218>
time <4218>, when <3753> ye lived <2198> in them.

8. But now <3570> ye also <2532> put <0659> off <0659> all
<3956> these <3588>; anger <3709>, wrath < 2372>, malice <2549>,
blasphemy <0988>, filthy <0148> communication < 0148> out of your
<5216> mouth <4750>.

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

10 And have put <1746> on <1746> the new < 3501> [man], which
<3588> is renewed <0341> in knowledge <1922> after <2596> the
image <1504> of him that created <2936> him:

11 Where <3699> there is neither <3756> Greek < 1672> nor
<2532> Jew <2453>, circumcision <4061> nor < 2532> uncircumcision
<0203>, Barbarian <0915>, Scythian <4658>, bond <1401> [nor]
free <1658>: but Christ <5547> [is] all <3956>, and in all
<3956>.

12. Put <1746> on <1746> therefore <3767>, as the elect <1588>
of God <2316>, holy <0040> and beloved <0025>, bowels <4698> of
mercies <3628>, kindness <5544>, humbleness < 5012> of mind,
meekness <4236>, longsuffering <3115>;

13 Forbearing <0430> one <0240> another <0240> , and forgiving
<5483> one <1438> another <1438>, if < 1437> any <5100> man have
<2192> a quarrel <3437> against <4314> any < 5100>: even <2532>
as Christ <5547> forgave <5483> you, so <3779> also <2532> [do]
ye.

14 And above <1909> all <3956> these <5125> things [put on]
charity <0026>, which <3748> is the bond <4886> of perfectness
<5047>.

15 And let the peace <1515> of God <2316> rule < 1018> in your
<5216> hearts <2588>, to the which <3739> also <2532> ye are
called <2564> in one <1520> body <4983>; and be ye thankful
<2170>.

16 Let the word <3056> of Christ <5547> dwell < 1774> in you
richly <4146> in all <3956> wisdom <4678>; teaching <1321> and
admonishing <3560> one <1438> another <1438> in psalms <5568>
and hymns <5215> and spiritual <4152> songs < 5603>, singing
<0103> with grace <5485> in your <5216> hearts <2588> to the
Lord <2962>.

17 And whatsoever <5100> ye do <4160> in word < 3056> or <2228>
deed <2041>, [do <4160>] all <3956> in the name <3686> of the
Lord <2962> Jesus <2424>, giving thanks <2168> to God <2316> and
the Father <3962> by him.

18. Wives <1135>, submit <5293> yourselves unto your <2398> own
<2398> husbands <0435>, as it is fit <0433> in the Lord <2962>.

19 Husbands <0435>, love <0025> [your <3588>] wives <1135>,
and be not bitter <4087> against <4314> them.

20 Children <5043>, obey <5219> [your <3588>] parents <1118>
in all <3956> things: for this <5124> is well < 2101> pleasing
<2101> unto the Lord <2962>.

21 Fathers <3962>, provoke <2042> not your < 5216> children
<5043> [to anger], lest <3361> they be discouraged <0120>.

22 Servants <1401>, obey <5219> in all <3956> things [your
<3588>] masters <2962> according <2596> to the flesh <4561>; not
with eyeservice <3787>, as menpleasers <0441>; but in singleness
<0572> of heart <2588>, fearing <5399> God < 2316>:

23 And whatsoever <1437> ye do <4160>, do < 2038> [it] heartily
<5590>, as to the Lord <2962>, and not unto men < 0444>;

24 Knowing <1492> that of the Lord <2962> ye shall receive
<0618> the reward <0469> of the inheritance < 2817>: for ye serve
<1398> the Lord <2962> Christ <5547>.

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

Colossians 4

1. Masters <2962>, give <3930> unto [your < 3588>] servants
<1401> that which is just <1342> and equal < 2471>; knowing
<1492> that ye also <2532> have <2192> a Master <2962> in heaven
<3772>.

2. Continue <4342> in prayer <4335>, and watch < 1127> in the
same <0846> with thanksgiving <2169>;

3 Withal <0260> praying <4336> also <2532> for us, that God
<2316> would open <0455> unto us a door <2374> of utterance
<3056>, to speak <2980> the mystery <3466> of Christ <5547>, for
which <3739> I am also <2532> in bonds <1210>:

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

5. Walk <4043> in wisdom <4678> toward <4314> them that are
without <1854>, redeeming <1805> the time <2540> .

6 Let your <5216> speech <3056> [be] alway < 0104> with grace
<5485>, seasoned <0741> with salt <0217>, that ye may know
<1492> how <4459> ye ought <1163> to answer < 0611> every <1538>
man <1520>.

7. All <3956> my state <2596> shall Tychicus < 5190> declare
<1107> unto you, [who is] a beloved <0027> brother <0080>, and a
faithful <4103> minister <1249> and fellowservant < 4889> in the
Lord <2962>:

8 Whom <3739> I have sent <3992> unto you for the same <0846>
purpose, that he might know <1097> your <5216> estate <4012>,
and comfort <3870> your <5216> hearts <2588>;

9 With Onesimus <3682>, a faithful <4103> and beloved <0027>
brother <0080>, who <3739> is [one] of you. They shall make
<1107> known <1107> unto you all <3956> things which <3588> [are
done] here <5602>.

10 Aristarchus <0708> my fellowprisoner <4869> saluteth <0782>
you, and Marcus <3138>, sister's <0431> son < 0431> to Barnabas
<0921>, (touching <4012> whom <3739> ye received <2983>
commandments <1785>: if <1437> he come <2064> unto you, receive
<1209> him;)

11 And Jesus <2424>, which <3588> is called < 3004> Justus
<2459>, who <3588> are of the circumcision < 4061>. These <3778>
only <3441> [are my] fellowworkers <4904> unto the kingdom
<0932> of God <2316>, which <3748> have been <1096> a comfort
<3931> unto me.

12 Epaphras <1889>, who <3588> is [one] of you, a servant
<1401> of Christ <5547>, saluteth <0782> you, always <3842>
labouring <0075> fervently for you in prayers <4335>, that ye
may stand <2476> perfect <5046> and complete < 4137> in all
<3956> the will <2307> of God <2316>.

13 For I bear <3140> him record <3140>, that he hath <2192> a
great <4183> zeal <2205> for you, and them [that are] in
Laodicea <2993>, and them in Hierapolis <2404>.

14 Luke <3065>, the beloved <0027> physician < 2395>, and Demas
<1214>, greet <0782> you.

15 Salute <0782> the brethren <0080> which are in Laodicea
<2993>, and Nymphas <3564>, and the church < 1577> which is in
his house <3624>.

16 And when <3752> this <3588> epistle <1992> is read <0314>
among <3844> you, cause <4160> that it be read < 0314> also
<2532> in the church <1577> of the Laodiceans < 2994>; and that
ye likewise <2532> read <0314> the [epistle] from Laodicea
<2993>.

17 And say <2036> to Archippus <0751>, Take heed <0991> to the
ministry <1248> which <3739> thou hast received < 3880> in the
Lord <2962>, that thou fulfil <4137> it.

18 The salutation <0783> by the hand <5495> of me Paul <3972>.
Remember <3421> my bonds <1199>. Grace <5485> [be] with you.
Amen <0281>.
