Colossians 1

1. Paul <3972-Paulos->, an apostle <0652-apostolos-> of Jesus

<2424-Iesous-> Christ <5547-Christos-> by the will <2307-thelema-

> of God <2316-theos->, and Timotheus <5095-Timotheos-> [our]

brother <0080-adephos->,

2 To the saints <0040-hagios-> and faithful <4103-pistos->

brethren <0080-adephos-> in Christ <5547-Christos-> which are at

<1722-en-> Colosse <2857-Kolossai->: Grace <5485-charis-> [be]

unto you, and peace <1515-eirene->, from God <2316-theos-> our

Father <3962-pater-> and the Lord <2962-kurios-> Jesus <2424-

Iesous-> Christ <5547-Christos->.

3. We give thanks <2168-eucharisteo-> to God <2316-theos-> and

the Father <3962-pater-> of our Lord <2962-kurios-> Jesus <2424-

Iesous-> Christ <5547-Christos->, praying <4336-proseuchomai->

always <3842-pantote-> for you,

4 Since we heard <0191-akouo-> of your <5216-humon-> faith

<4102-pistis-> in Christ <5547-Christos-> Jesus <2424-Iesous->,

and of the love <0026-agape-> [which <3588-ho-> ye have] to all

<3956-pas-> the saints <0040-hagios->,

5 For the hope <1680-elpis-> which <3588-ho-> is laid <0606-

apokeimai-> up for you in heaven <3772-ouranos->, whereof <3739-

hos-> ye heard <4257-proakouo-> before <4257-proakouo-> in the

word <3056-logos-> of the truth <0226-aletheuo-> of the gospel

<2098-euaggelion->;

6 Which <3588-ho-> is come <3918-pareimi-> unto you, as [it is]

in all <3956-pas-> the world <2889-kosmos->; and bringeth <2592-

karpophoreo-> forth fruit <2592-karpophoreo->, as [it doth] also

<2532-kai-> in you, since <0575-apo-> the day <2250-hemera-> ye

heard <0191-akouo-> [of it], and knew <1921-epiginosko-> the

grace <5485-charis-> of God <2316-theos-> in truth <0226-

aletheuo->:

7 As ye also <2532-kai-> learned <3129-manthano-> of Epaphras

<1889-Epaphras-> our dear <0027-agapetos-> fellowservant <4889-

sundoulos->, who <3739-hos-> is for you a faithful <4103-pistos-

> minister <1249-diakonos-> of Christ <5547-Christos->;

8 Who <3588-ho-> also <2532-kai-> declared <1213-deloo-> unto

us your <5216-humon-> love <0026-agape-> in the Spirit <4151-

pneuma->.

9. For this <5124-touto-> cause <5124-touto-> we also <2532-kai-

>, since <0575-apo-> the day <2250-hemera-> we heard <0191-akouo-

> [it], do not cease <3973-pauo-> to pray <4336-proseuchomai->

for you, and to desire <0154-aiteo-> that ye might be filled

<4137-pleroo-> with the knowledge <1922-epignosis-> of his will

<2307-thelema-> in all <3956-pas-> wisdom <4678-sophia-> and

spiritual <4152-pneumatikos-> understanding <4907-sunesis->;

10 That ye might walk <4043-peripateo-> worthy <0516-axios-> of

the Lord <2962-kurios-> unto all <3956-pas-> pleasing <0699-

areskeia->, being fruitful <2592-karpophoreo-> in every <3596-

hodoiporeo-> good <0018-agathos-> work <2041-ergon->, and

increasing <0837-auzano-> in the knowledge <1922-epignosis-> of

God <2316-theos->;

11 Strengthened <1412-dunamoo-> with all <3956-pas-> might

<1411-dunamis->, according <2596-kata-> to his glorious <1391-

doxa-> power <2904-kratos->, unto all <3956-pas-> patience <5281-

hupomone-> and longsuffering <3115-makrothumia-> with joyfulness

<5479-chara->;

12. Giving thanks <2168-eucharisteo-> unto the Father <3962-

pater->, which <3588-ho-> hath made <2427-hikanoo-> us meet

<2427-hikanoo-> to be partakers <3310-meris-> of the inheritance

<2819-kleros-> of the saints <0040-hagios-> in light <5457-phos-

13 Who <3739-hos-> hath delivered <4506-rhoumai-> us from the

power <1849-exousia-> of darkness <4655-skotos->, and hath

translated <3179-methistemi-> [us] into <1519-eis-> the kingdom

<0932-basileia-> of his dear <0026-agape-> Son <5207-huios->:

14 In whom <3739-hos-> we have <2192-echo-> redemption <0629-

apolutrosis-> through <1223-dia-> his blood <0129-haima->,

[even] the forgiveness <0859-aphesis-> of sins <0266-hamartia->:

15 Who <3739-hos-> is the image <1504-eikon-> of the invisible

<0517-aoratos-> God <2316-theos->, the firstborn <4416-

prototokos-> of every <3596-hodoiporeo-> creature <2937-ktisis->:

16 For by him were all <3956-pas-> things created <2936-ktizo->,

that are in heaven <3772-ouranos->, and that are in earth <1093-

ge->, visible <3707-horatos-> and invisible <0517-aoratos->,

whether <1535-eite-> [they be] thrones <2362-thronos->, or <1535-

eite-> dominions <2963-kuriotes->, or <1535-eite->

principalities <0746-arche->, or <1535-eite-> powers <1849-

exousia->: all <3956-pas-> things were created <2936-ktizo-> by

him, and for him:

17 And he is before <4253-pro-> all <3956-pas-> things, and by

him all <3956-pas-> things consist <4921-sunistao->.

18 And he is the head <2776-kephale-> of the body <4983-soma->,

the church <1577-ekklesia->: who <3739-hos-> is the beginning

<0746-arche->, the firstborn <4416-prototokos-> from the dead

<3498-nekros->; that in all <3956-pas-> [things] he might have

the preeminence <4409-proteuo->.

19 For it pleased <2106-eudokeo-> [the Father] that in him

should all <3956-pas-> fulness <4138-pleroma-> dwell <2730-

katoikeo->;

20 And, having made <1517-eirenopoieo-> peace <1517-eirenopoieo-

> through <1223-dia-> the blood <0129-haima-> of his cross <4716-

stauros->, by him to reconcile <0604-apokatallasso-> all <3956-

pas-> things unto himself <0848-hautou->; by him, [I say],

whether <1535-eite-> [they be] things in earth <1093-ge->, or

<1535-eite-> things in heaven <3772-ouranos->.

21 And you, that were sometime <4218-pote-> alienated <0526-

apallotrioo-> and enemies <2190-echthros-> in [your <3588-ho->]

mind <1271-dianoia-> by wicked <4190-poneros-> works <2041-ergon-

>, yet <1161-de-> now <3570-nuni-> hath he reconciled <0604-

apokatallasso->

22 In the body <4983-soma-> of his flesh <4561-sarx-> through

<1223-dia-> death <2288-thanatos->, to present <3936-paristemi->

you holy <0040-hagios-> and unblameable <0299-amomos-> and

unreproveable <0410-anegkletos-> in his sight <2714-katenopion->:

23 If <1489-eige-> ye continue <1961-epimeno-> in the faith

<4102-pistis-> grounded <2311-themelioo-> and settled <1476-

hedraios->, and [be] not moved <3334-metakineo-> away <3334-

metakineo-> from the hope <1680-elpis-> of the gospel <2098-

euaggelion->, which ye have heard <0191-akouo->, [and] which

<3588-ho-> was preached <2784-kerusso-> to every <3596-

hodoiporeo-> creature <2937-ktisis-> which is under <5259-hupo->

heaven <3772-ouranos->; whereof <3739-hos-> I Paul <3972-Paulos-

> am made <1096-ginomai-> a minister <1249-diakonos->;

24 Who now <3568-nun-> rejoice <5463-chairo-> in my sufferings

<3804-pathema-> for you, and fill <0466-antanapleroo-> up that

which is behind <5303-husterema-> of the afflictions <2347-

thlipsis-> of Christ <5547-Christos-> in my flesh <4561-sarx->

for his body's <4983-soma-> sake, which <3739-hos-> is the

church <1577-ekklesia->:

25 Whereof <3739-hos-> I am made <1096-ginomai-> a minister

<1249-diakonos->, according <2596-kata-> to the dispensation

<3622-oikonomia-> of God <2316-theos-> which <3588-ho-> is given

<1325-didomi-> to me for you, to fulfil <4137-pleroo-> the word

<3056-logos-> of God <2316-theos->;

26 [Even] the mystery <3466-musterion-> which <3588-ho-> hath

been hid <0613-apokrupto-> from ages <0165-aion-> and from

generations <1074-genea->, but now <3570-nuni-> is made <5319-

phaneroo-> manifest <5319-phaneroo-> to his saints <0040-hagios-

27 To whom <3739-hos-> God <2316-theos-> would <2309-thelo->

make <1107-gnorizo-> known <1107-gnorizo-> what <5101-tis-> [is]

the riches <4149-ploutos-> of the glory <1391-doxa-> of this

<5127-toutou-> mystery <3466-musterion-> among <1722-en-> the

Gentiles <1484-ethnos->; which <3739-hos-> is Christ <5547-

Christos-> in you, the hope <1680-elpis-> of glory <1391-doxa->:

28 Whom <3739-hos-> we preach <2605-kataggello->, warning <3560-

noutheteo-> every <3596-hodoiporeo-> man <0444-anthropos->, and

teaching <1321-didasko-> every <3596-hodoiporeo-> man <0444-

anthropos-> in all <3956-pas-> wisdom <4678-sophia->; that we

may present <3936-paristemi-> every <3596-hodoiporeo-> man <0444-

anthropos-> perfect <5046-teleios-> in Christ <5547-Christos->

Jesus <2424-Iesous->:

29 Whereunto <3739-hos-> I also <2532-kai-> labour <2872-kopiao-

>, striving <0075-agonizomai-> according <2596-kata-> to his

working <1753-energeia->, which <3588-ho-> worketh <1754-energeo-

> in me mightily <1411-dunamis->.

Colossians 2

1. For I would <2309-thelo-> that ye knew <1492-eido-> what

<2245-helikos-> great <2245-helikos-> conflict <0073-agon-> I

have <2192-echo-> for you, and [for] them at <1722-en-> Laodicea

<2993-Laodikeia->, and [for] as many <3745-hosos-> as have not

seen <3708-horao-> my face <4383-prosopon-> in the flesh <4561-

sarx->;

2 That their hearts <2588-kardia-> might be comforted <3870-

parakaleo->, being knit <4822-sumbibazo-> together <4822-

sumbibazo-> in love <0026-agape->, and unto all <3956-pas->

riches <4149-ploutos-> of the full <4136-plerophoria-> assurance

<4136-plerophoria-> of understanding <4907-sunesis->, to the

acknowledgement <1922-epignosis-> of the mystery <3466-musterion-

> of God <2316-theos->, and of the Father <3962-pater->, and of

Christ <5547-Christos->;

3 In whom <3739-hos-> are hid <0614-apokruphos-> all <3956-pas-

> the treasures <2344-thesauros-> of wisdom <4678-sophia-> and

knowledge <1108-gnosis->.

4. And this <5124-touto-> I say <3004-lego->, lest <3361-me->

any <3387-metis-> man should beguile <3884-paralogizomai-> you

with enticing <4086-pithanologia-> words <4086-pithanologia->.

5 For though <1499-ei kai-> I be absent <0548-apeimi-> in the

flesh <4561-sarx->, yet <0235-alla-> am <1510-eimi-> I with you

in the spirit <4151-pneuma->, joying <5463-chairo-> and

beholding <0991-blepo-> your <5216-humon-> order <5010-taxis->,

and the stedfastness <4733-stereoma-> of your <5216-humon->

faith <4102-pistis-> in Christ <5547-Christos->.

6 As ye have therefore <3767-oun-> received <3880-paralambano->

Christ <5547-Christos-> Jesus <2424-Iesous-> the Lord <2962-

kurios->, [so] walk <4043-peripateo-> ye in him:

7 Rooted <4492-rhizoo-> and built <2026-epoikodomeo-> up in him,

and stablished <0950-bebaioo-> in the faith <4102-pistis->, as

ye have been taught <1321-didasko->, abounding <4052-perisseuo->

therein <0846-autos-> with thanksgiving <2169-eucharistia->.

8 Beware <0991-blepo-> lest <3361-me-> any <3387-metis-> man

spoil <4812-sulagogeo-> you through <1223-dia-> philosophy <5385-

philosophia-> and vain <2756-kenos-> deceit <0539-apate->, after

<2596-kata-> the tradition <3862-paradosis-> of men <0444-

anthropos->, after <2596-kata-> the rudiments <4747-stoicheion->

of the world <2889-kosmos->, and not after <2596-kata-> Christ

<5547-Christos->.

9 For in him dwelleth <2730-katoikeo-> all <3956-pas-> the

fulness <4138-pleroma-> of the Godhead <2320-theotes-> bodily

<4985-somatikos->.

10 And ye are complete <4137-pleroo-> in him, which <3739-hos->

is the head <2776-kephale-> of all <3956-pas-> principality

<0746-arche-> and power <1849-exousia->:

11 In whom <3739-hos-> also <2532-kai-> ye are circumcised

<4059-peritemno-> with the circumcision <4061-peritome-> made

<1096-ginomai-> without <0886-acheiropoietos-> hands <0886-

acheiropoietos->, in putting <0555-apekdusis-> off <0554-

apekduomai-> the body <4983-soma-> of the sins <0266-hamartia->

of the flesh <4561-sarx-> by the circumcision <4061-peritome->

of Christ <5547-Christos->:

12 Buried <4916-sunthapto-> with him in baptism <0908-baptisma-

>, wherein <3757-hou-> also <2532-kai-> ye are risen <4891-

sunegeiro-> with [him] through <1223-dia-> the faith <4102-

pistis-> of the operation <1753-energeia-> of God <2316-theos->,

who <3588-ho-> hath raised <1453-egeiro-> him from the dead

<3498-nekros->.

13. And you, being <5607-on-> dead <3498-nekros-> in your <5216-

humon-> sins <3900-paraptoma-> and the uncircumcision <0203-

akrobustia-> of your <5216-humon-> flesh <4561-sarx->, hath he

quickened <4806-suzoopoieo-> together <4806-suzoopoieo-> with

him, having forgiven <5483-charizomai-> you all <3956-pas->

trespasses <3900-paraptoma->;

14 Blotting <1813-exaleipho-> out the handwriting <5498-

cheirographon-> of ordinances <1378-dogma-> that was against

<2596-kata-> us, which <3739-hos-> was contrary <5227-

hupenantios-> to us, and took <0142-airo-> it out of the way

<3319-mesos->, nailing <4338-proseloo-> it to his cross <4716-

stauros->;

15 [And] having spoiled <0554-apekduomai-> principalities <0746-

arche-> and powers <1849-exousia->, he made <1165-deigmatizo-> a

shew <1165-deigmatizo-> of them openly <3954-parrhesia->,

triumphing <2358-thriambeuo-> over them in it.

16. Let no <3361-me-> man <5100-tis-> therefore <3767-oun->

judge <2919-krino-> you in meat <1035-brosis->, or <2228-e-> in

drink <4213-posis->, or <2228-e-> in respect <3313-meros-> of an

holyday <1859-heorte->, or <2228-e-> of the new <3561-noumenia->

moon <3561-noumenia->, or <2228-e-> of the sabbath <4521-

sabbaton-> [days]:

17 Which <3739-hos-> are a shadow <4639-skia-> of things to

come <3195-mello->; but the body <4983-soma-> [is] of Christ

<5547-Christos->.

18 Let no <3367-medeis-> man <3367-medeis-> beguile <2603-

katabrabeuo-> you of your reward <2603-katabrabeuo-> in a

voluntary <2309-thelo-> humility <5012-tapeinophrosune-> and

worshipping <2356-threskeia-> of angels <0032-aggelos->,

intruding <1687-embateuo-> into those things which <3739-hos->

he hath not seen <3708-horao->, vainly <1500-eike-> puffed <5448-

phusioo-> up by his fleshly mind <3563-nous->,

19 And not holding <2902-krateo-> the Head <2776-kephale->,

from which <3739-hos-> all <3956-pas-> the body <4983-soma-> by

joints <0860-haphe-> and bands <4886-sundesmos-> having

nourishment <2023-epichoregeo-> ministered <2023-epichoregeo->,

and knit <4822-sumbibazo-> together <4822-sumbibazo->,

increaseth <0837-auzano-> with the increase <0838-auxesis-> of

God <2316-theos->.

20 Wherefore <3767-oun-> if <1487-ei-> ye be dead <0599-

apothnesko-> with Christ <5547-Christos-> from the rudiments

<4747-stoicheion-> of the world <2889-kosmos->, why <5101-tis->,

as though living <2198-zao-> in the world <2889-kosmos->, are ye

subject <1379-dogmatizo-> to ordinances <1379-dogmatizo->,

21 (Touch <0680-haptomai-> not; taste <1089-geuomai-> not;

handle <2345-thiggano-> not;

22 Which <3739-hos-> all <3956-pas-> are to perish <5356-

phthora-> with the using <0671-apochresis->;) after <2596-kata->

the commandments <1778-entalma-> and doctrines <1319-didaskalia-

> of men <0444-anthropos->?

23 Which <3748-hostis-> things have <2192-echo-> indeed <3303-

men-> a shew <3056-logos-> of wisdom <4678-sophia-> in will

<1479-ethelothreskeia-> worship <1479-ethelothreskeia->, and

humility <5012-tapeinophrosune->, and neglecting <0857-apheidia-

> of the body <4983-soma->; not in any <5100-tis-> honour <5092-

time-> to the satisfying <4140-plesmone-> of the flesh <4561-

sarx->.

Colossians 3

1. If <1487-ei-> ye then <3767-oun-> be risen <4891-sunegeiro->

with Christ <5547-Christos->, seek <2212-zeteo-> those <3588-ho-

> things which are above <0507-ano->, where <3757-hou-> Christ

<5547-Christos-> sitteth <2521-kathemai-> on <1722-en-> the

right <1188-dexios-> hand of God <2316-theos->.

2 Set <5426-phroneo-> your affection <5426-phroneo-> on things

above <0507-ano->, not on things on <1909-epi-> the earth <1093-

ge->.

3 For ye are dead <0599-apothnesko->, and your <5216-humon->

life <2222-zoe-> is hid <2928-krupto-> with Christ <5547-

Christos-> in God <2316-theos->.

4 When <3752-hotan-> Christ <5547-Christos->, [who is] our life

<2222-zoe->, shall appear <5316-phaino->, then <5119-tote->

shall ye also <2532-kai-> appear <5316-phaino-> with him in

glory <1391-doxa->.

5. Mortify <3499-nekroo-> therefore <3767-oun-> your <5216-

humon-> members <3196-melos-> which <3588-ho-> are upon the

earth <1093-ge->; fornication <4202-porneia->, uncleanness <0167-

akatharsia->, inordinate <3806-pathos-> affection <3806-pathos->,

evil <2556-kakos-> concupiscence <1939-epithumia->, and

covetousness <4124-pleonexia->, which <3748-hostis-> is idolatry

<1495-eidololatreia->:

6 For which <3739-hos-> things' sake the wrath <3709-orge-> of

God <2316-theos-> cometh <2064-erchomai-> on <1909-epi-> the

children <5207-huios-> of disobedience <0543-apeitheia->:

7 In the which <3739-hos-> ye also <2532-kai-> walked <4043-

peripateo-> some <4218-pote-> time <4218-pote->, when <3753-hote-

> ye lived <2198-zao-> in them.

8. But now <3570-nuni-> ye also <2532-kai-> put <0659-

apotithemi-> off <0659-apotithemi-> all <3956-pas-> these <3588-

ho->; anger <3709-orge->, wrath <2372-thumos->, malice <2549-

kakia->, blasphemy <0988-blasphemia->, filthy <0148-aischrologia-

> communication <0148-aischrologia-> out of your <5216-humon->

fearing <5399-phobeo-> God <2316-theos->:
