Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus through the will of God, and Timothy our brother,

Colossians 1 : 2 (RV)

To the saints and faithful brethren in Christ {cf15i which are} at Colossae: Grace to you and peace from God our Father.

Colossians 1 : 3 (RV)

We give thanks to God the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, praying always for you,

Colossians 1 : 4 (RV)

having heard of your faith in Christ Jesus, and of the love which ye have toward all the saints,

Colossians 1 : 5 (RV)

because of the hope which is laid up for you in the heavens, whereof ye heard before in the word of the truth of the gospel,

Colossians 1 : 6 (RV)

which is come unto you; even as it is also in all the world bearing fruit and increasing, as {cf15i it doth} in you also, since the day ye heard and knew the grace of God in truth;

Colossians 1 : 7 (RV)

even as ye learned of Epaphras our beloved fellow�servant, who is a faithful minister of Christ on our behalf,

Colossians 1 : 8 (RV)

who also declared unto us your love in the Spirit.

Colossians 1 : 9 (RV)

For this cause we also, since the day we heard {cf15i it}, do not cease to pray and make request for you, that ye may be filled with the knowledge of his will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding,

Colossians 1 : 10 (RV)

to walk worthily of the Lord unto all pleasing, bearing fruit in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God;

Colossians 1 : 11 (RV)

strengthened with all power, according to the might of his glory, unto all patience and longsuffering with joy;

Colossians 1 : 12 (RV)

giving thanks unto the Father, who made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light;

Colossians 1 : 13 (RV)

who delivered us out of the power of darkness, and translated us into the kingdom of the Son of his love;

Colossians 1 : 14 (RV)

in whom we have our redemption, the forgiveness of our sins:

Colossians 1 : 15 (RV)

who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation;

Colossians 1 : 16 (RV)

for in him were all things created, in the heavens and upon the earth, things visible and things invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers; all things have been created through him, and unto him;

Colossians 1 : 17 (RV)

and he is before all things, and in him all things consist.

Colossians 1 : 18 (RV)

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.

Colossians 1 : 19 (RV)

For it was the good pleasure {cf15i of the Father} that in him should all the fulness dwell;

Colossians 1 : 20 (RV)

and through him to reconcile all things unto himself, having made peace through the blood of his cross; through him, {cf15i I say}, whether things upon the earth, or things in the heavens.

Colossians 1 : 21 (RV)

And you, being in time past alienated and enemies in your mind in your evil works, yet now hath he reconciled

Colossians 1 : 22 (RV)

in the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and without blemish and unreproveable before him:

Colossians 1 : 23 (RV)

if so be that ye continue in the faith, grounded and stedfast, and not moved away from the hope of the gospel which ye heard, which was preached in all creation under heaven; whereof I Paul was made a minister.

Colossians 1 : 24 (RV)

Now I rejoice in my sufferings for your sake, and fill up on my part that which is lacking of the afflictions of Christ in my flesh for his body�s sake, which is the church;

Colossians 1 : 25 (RV)

whereof I was made a minister, according to the dispensation of God which was given me to you�ward, to fulfill the word of God,

Colossians 1 : 26 (RV)

{cf15i even} the mystery which hath been hid from all ages and generations: but now hath it been manifested to his saints,

Colossians 1 : 27 (RV)

to whom God was pleased to make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:

Colossians 1 : 28 (RV)

whom we proclaim, admonishing every man and teaching every man in all wisdom, that we may present every man perfect in Christ;

Colossians 1 : 29 (RV)

whereunto I labour also, striving according to his working, which worketh in me mightily.
