Colossians 1

1
Paul, apostle of Christ Jesus, by God's will, and Timotheus the brother,
2
to the holy and faithful brethren in Christ which [are] in Colosse. Grace to you and peace from God our Father [and Lord Jesus Christ].
3
We give thanks to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ continually [when] praying for you,
4
having heard of your faith in Christ Jesus, and the love which ye have towards all the saints,
5
on account of the hope which [is] laid up for you in the heavens; of which ye heard before in the word of the truth of the glad tidings,
6
which are come to you, as [they are] in all the world, [and] are bearing fruit and growing, even as also among you, from the day ye heard [them] and knew indeed the grace of God, in truth:
7
even as ye learned from Epaphras our beloved fellow-bondman, who is a faithful minister of Christ for you,
8
who has also manifested to us your love in [the] Spirit.
9
For this reason *we* also, from the day we heard [of your faith and love], do not cease praying and asking for you, to the end that ye may be filled with the full knowledge of his will, in all wisdom and spiritual understanding,
10
[so as] to walk worthily of the Lord unto all well-pleasing, bearing fruit in every good work, and growing by the true knowledge of God;
11
strengthened with all power according to the might of his glory unto all endurance and longsuffering with joy;
12
giving thanks to the Father, who has made us fit for sharing the portion of the saints in light,
13
who has delivered us from the authority of darkness, and translated [us] into the kingdom of the Son of his love:
14
in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins;
15
who is image of the invisible God, firstborn of all creation;
16
because by him were created all things, the things in the heavens and the things upon the earth, the visible and the invisible, whether thrones, or lordships, or principalities, or authorities: all things have been created by him and for him.
17
And *he* is before all, and all things subsist together by him.
18
And *he* is the head of the body, the assembly; who is [the] beginning, firstborn from among the dead, that *he* might have the first place in all things:
19
for in him all the fulness [of the Godhead] was pleased to dwell,
20
and by him to reconcile all things to itself, having made peace by the blood of his cross -- by him, whether the things on the earth or the things in the heavens.
21
And you, who once were alienated and enemies in mind by wicked works, yet now has it reconciled
22
in the body of his flesh through death; to present you holy and unblamable and irreproachable before it,
23
if indeed ye abide in the faith founded and firm, and not moved away from the hope of the glad tidings, which ye have heard, which have been proclaimed in the whole creation which [is] under heaven, of which *I* Paul became minister.
24
Now, I rejoice in sufferings for you, and I fill up that which is behind of the tribulations of Christ in my flesh, for his body, which is the assembly;
25
of which *I* became minister, according to the dispensation of God which [is] given me towards you to complete the word of God,
26
the mystery which [has been] hidden from ages and from generations, but has now been made manifest to his saints;
27
to whom God would make known what are the riches of the glory of this mystery among the nations, which is Christ in you the hope of glory:
28
whom *we* announce, admonishing every man, and teaching every man, in all wisdom, to the end that we may present every man perfect in Christ.
29
Whereunto also I toil, combating according to his working, which works in me in power.


Colossians 2

1
For I would have you know what combat I have for you, and those in Laodicea, and as many as have not seen my face in flesh;
2
to the end that their hearts may be encouraged, being united together in love, and unto all riches of the full assurance of understanding, to [the] full knowledge of the mystery of God;
3
in which are hid all the treasures of wisdom and of knowledge.
4
And I say this to the end that no one may delude you by persuasive speech.
5
For if indeed in the flesh I am absent, yet I am with you in spirit, rejoicing and seeing your order, and the firmness of your faith in Christ.
6
As therefore ye have received the Christ, Jesus the Lord, walk in him,
7
rooted and built up in him, and assured in the faith, even as ye have been taught, abounding in it with thanksgiving.
8
See that there be no one who shall lead *you* away as a prey through philosophy and vain deceit, according to the teaching of men, according to the elements of the world, and not according to Christ.
9
For in him dwells all the fulness of the Godhead bodily;
10
and ye are complete in him, who is the head of all principality and authority,
11
in whom also ye have been circumcised with circumcision not done by hand, in the putting off of the body of the flesh, in the circumcision of the Christ;
12
buried with him in baptism, in which ye have been also raised with [him] through faith of the working of God who raised him from among the dead.
13
And you, being dead in offences and in the uncircumcision of your flesh, he has quickened together with him, having forgiven us all the offences;
14
having effaced the handwriting in ordinances which [stood out] against us, which was contrary to us, he has taken it also out of the way, having nailed it to the cross;
15
having spoiled principalities and authorities, he made a show of them publicly, leading them in triumph by it.
16
Let none therefore judge you in meat or in drink, or in matter of feast, or new moon, or sabbaths,
17
which are a shadow of things to come; but the body [is] of Christ.
18
Let no one fraudulently deprive you of your prize, doing his own will in humility and worship of angels, entering into things which he has not seen, vainly puffed up by the mind of his flesh,
19
and not holding fast the head, from whom all the body, ministered to and united together by the joints and bands, increases with the increase of God.
20
If ye have died with Christ from the elements of the world, why as [if] alive in [the] world do ye subject yourselves to ordinances?
21
Do not handle, do not taste, do not touch,
22
(things which are all for destruction in the using [of them]:) according to the injunctions and teachings of men,
23
(which have indeed an appearance of wisdom in voluntary worship, and humility, and harsh treatment of the body, not in a certain honour,) to [the] satisfaction of the flesh.
