COL 1:1  Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God,

and Timotheus


         *3972     *0652       *2424  *5547          *2307    

*2316     *5095


 our brother,


     *0080




2  To the saints and faithful brethren in Christ which are at  

Colosse:


          *0040       *4103     *0080        *5547            

*1722 *2857


 Grace be unto you, and peace, from God  our Father and the Lord

Jesus


 *5485                   *1515        *2316     *3962          

*2962 *2424


 Christ.


 *5547




3  We give thanks to God  and the Father of our Lord Jesus

Christ, praying


           *2168      *2316         *3962          *2962 *2424  

*5547    *4336


 always for you,


 *3842      




4  Since we heard of your faith in Christ Jesus, and of the love

which ye


            *0191     *5216 *4102     *5547   *2424              

*0026 *3588  


 have to all  the saints,


         *3956     *0040




5  For the hope which is laid up for you in heaven, whereof ye

heard before


           *1680 *3588     *0606               *3772    *3739    

   *4257  *4257


 in the word of the truth of the gospel;


        *3056        *0226         *2098




6  Which is come unto you, as it is in all  the world; and

bringeth forth


   *3588     *3918                       *3956     *2889      

*2592    


 fruit, as it doth also in you, since the day  ye heard of it,

and knew the


 *2592              *2532         *0575      *2250    *0191      

       *1921


 grace of God  in truth:


 *5485     *2316    *0226




7  As ye also learned of Epaphras our dear fellowservant, who  

is for you a


         *2532 *3129       *1889         *0027 *4889          

*3739            


 faithful minister of Christ;


 *4103     *1249        *5547




8  Who  also declared unto us your love in the Spirit.


   *3588 *2532 *1213             *5216 *0026        *4151




9  For this cause we also, since the day  we heard it, do not

cease to pray


       *5124 *5124     *2532  *0575      *2250    *0191          

   *3973     *4336


 for you, and to desire that ye might be filled with the

knowledge of his


                 *0154                    *4137            *1922

       


 will in all  wisdom and spiritual understanding;


 *2307    *3956 *4678       *4152      *4907




10  That ye might walk worthy of the Lord unto all  pleasing,

being fruitful


                  *4043 *0516          *2962      *3956 *0699    

        *2592


 in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God;


    *3596  *0018 *2041      *0837              *1922        

*2316




11  Strengthened with all  might, according to his glorious

power, unto all


    *1412              *3956 *1410   *2596             *1391    

*2904        *3956


 patience and longsuffering with joyfulness;


 *5281         *3115               *5479




12  Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be

partakers


           *2168            *3962    *3588       *2427    *2427  

     *3310


 of the inheritance of the saints in light:


        *2819               *0040      *5457




13  Who  hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath

translated


    *3739      *4506                  *1849     *4655            

   *3179


 us into the kingdom of his dear Son:


    *1519     *0932           *0026 *5207




14  In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the

forgiveness of


       *3739    *2192 *0629       *1223        *0129            

*0859        


 sins:


 *0266




15  Who  is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of

every creature:


    *3739        *1504         *0517      *2316     *4416        

 *3596  *2937




16  For by him were all  things created, that are in heaven, and

that are in


                    *3956        *2936                 *3772    

           


 earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or  

dominions, or


 *1093   *3707        *0517       *1535            *2362    

*1535 *2963       *1535


 principalities, or   powers: all  things were created by him,

and for him:


 *0746            *1535 *1849    *3956             *2936        

           




17  And he is before all  things, and by him all  things consist.


              *4253   *3956                    *3956        *4921




18  And he is the head of the body, the church: who  is the

beginning, the


                  *2776        *4983      *1577    *3739        

*0746      


 firstborn from the dead; that in all  things he might have the

preeminence.


 *4416               *3498          *3956                        

  *4409




19  For it pleased the Father that in him should all  fulness

dwell;


           *2106                                  *3956 *4138    

*2730




20  And, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by

him to


                *1517 *1517  *1223        *0129         *4716    

     


 reconcile all  things unto himself; by him, I say, whether they

be things


 *0604      *3956             *0848                    *1535    

       


 in earth, or   things in heaven.


    *1093   *1535           *3772




21  And you, that were sometime alienated and enemies in your

mind by wicked


                       *4218     *0526          *2190      

*3588 *1271    *4190


 works, yet  now  hath he reconciled


 *2041   *1161 *3570         *0604




22  In the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy

and


           *4983        *4561  *1223    *2288      *3936        

*0040


 unblameable and unreproveable in his sight:


 *0299            *0410                 *2714




23  If   ye continue in the faith grounded and settled, and be

not moved


    *1489    *1961            *4102  *2311         *1476        

       *3334


 away from the hope of the gospel, which ye have heard, and

which was


 *3334          *1680        *2098                  *0191      

*3558  


 preached to every creature which is under heaven; whereof I

Paul am made a


 *2784        *3596  *2937              *5259  *3772    *3739    

  *3972    *1096


 minister;


 *1249




24  Who now  rejoice in my sufferings for you, and fill up that

which is


        *3568 *5463          *3804                    *0466      

         


 behind of the afflictions of Christ in my flesh for his body's

sake, which


 *5303          *2347           *5547         *4561          

*4983         *3739


 is the church:


        *1577




25  Whereof I am made a minister, according to the dispensation

of God  which


    *3739         *1096   *1249      *2596             *3622    

       *2316 *3588


 is given to me for you, to fulfil the word of God;


    *1325                    *4137       *3056    *2316




26  Even the mystery which hath been hid  from ages and from

generations,


             *3466    *3588            *0613      *0165          

*1074


 but now  is made manifest to his saints:


     *3570    *5319 *5319            *0040




27  To whom God  would make known what is the riches of the

glory of this


       *3739 *2316 *2309  *1107 *1107  *5101        *4149        

  *1391     *5127


 mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of

glory:


 *3466    *1722      *1484      *3739     *5547              

*1680    *1391




28  Whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching every man  

in all  wisdom;


    *3739    *2605    *3560    *3596  *0444     *1321     *3596  

*0444    *3956 *4678


 that we may present every man  perfect in Christ Jesus:


             *3936    *3596  *0444 *5046       *5547   *2424




29  Whereunto I also labour, striving according to his working,

which


    *3739        *2532 *2872    *0075     *2596            

*1753     *3588


 worketh in me mightily.


 *1754          *1411




2:1  For I would that ye knew what great conflict I have for you,

 and for


           *2309          *1492 *2245 *2245  *0073       *2192  

           


 them at   Laodicea, and for as many as have not seen my face in

the flesh;


      *1722 *2993                 *3745             *3708    

*4383        *4561




2  That their hearts might be comforted, being knit together in

love, and


              *2588            *3870             *4822 *4822    

   *0026  


 unto all  riches of the full assurance of understanding, to the


      *3956 *4149          *4136 *4136         *4907            

 


 acknowledgement of the mystery of God, and of the Father, and

of Christ;


 *1922                   *3466       *2316            *3962      

     *5547




3  In whom are hid  all  the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.


      *3739     *0614 *3956     *2344         *4678       *1108




4  And this I say, lest any  man should beguile you with

enticing words.


       *5124   *3004 *3361 *3387            *3884            

*4086     *4086




5  For though I be absent in the flesh, yet  am   I with you in

the spirit,


       *1499        *0548          *4561   *0235 *1510          

        *4151


 joying and beholding your order, and the stedfastness of your

faith in


 *5463       *0991      *5216 *5010           *4733            

*5216 *4102  


 Christ.


 *5547




6  As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk

ye in him:


              *3767      *3880     *5547   *2424      *2962    

*4043      




7  Rooted and built up in him, and stablished in the faith, as

ye have been


   *4492       *2026                 *0950              *4102    

         


 taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving.


 *1321    *4052      *0846         *2169




8  Beware lest any  man spoil you through philosophy and vain

deceit, after


   *0991   *3361 *3387     *4812      *1223    *5385          

*2756 *0539    *2596


 the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not

after


     *3862         *0444 *2596      *4747             *2889      

     *2596


 Christ.


 *5547




9  For in him dwelleth all  the fulness of the Godhead bodily.


              *2730     *3956     *4138           *2320    *4985




10  And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all  

principality and


               *4137             *3739         *2776    *3956

*0746        


 power:


 *1849




11  In whom also ye are circumcised with the circumcision made

without hands,


       *3739 *2532        *4059                 *4061        

*1096 *0886    *0886


 in putting off  the body of the sins of the flesh by the

circumcision of


    *0555    *0554     *4983        *0266        *4561        

*4061        


 Christ:


 *5547




12  Buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with

him through


    *4916               *0908     *3757    *2532        *4891    

       *1223


 the faith of the operation of God, who  hath raised him from

the dead.


     *4102         *1753         *2316 *3588      *1453          

      *3498




13  And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of

your flesh,


             *5607  *3498    *5216 *3900         *0203          

   *5216 *4561


 hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all  

trespasses;


         *4806      *4806                      *5483        

*3956 *3900




14  Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against

us, which


    *1813             *5498           *1378                *2596

       *3739


 was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to

his cross;


     *5227                *0142               *3319 *4338        

      *4716




15  And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew

of them


               *0554    *0746               *1849       *1165  

*1165    


 openly, triumphing over them in it.


 *3954    *2358                    




16  Let no   man  therefore judge you in meat, or   in drink, or

  in


        *3361 *5100 *3767      *2919         *1035  *2228    

*4213   *2228


 respect of an holyday, or   of the new  moon, or   of the

sabbath days:


 *3313          *1859     *2228        *3561 *3561  *2228        

*4521    




17  Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of

Christ.


    *3739        *4639                *3195          *4983      

*5547




18  Let no   man  beguile you of your reward in a voluntary

humility and


        *3367 *3367 *2603                *2603        *2309      

*5012    


 worshipping of angels, intruding into those things which he

hath not seen,


 *2356           *0032    *1687                        *3739    

         *3708


 vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind,


 *1500   *5448                     *3563




19  And not holding the Head, from which all  the body by joints

and bands


            *2902        *2776       *3739  *3956     *4983    

*0860       *4886


 having nourishment ministered, and knit together, increaseth

with the


        *2023        *2023            *4822 *4822      *0837    

       


 increase of God.


 *0838        *2316




20  Wherefore if   ye be dead with Christ from the rudiments of

the world,


    *3767      *1487       *0599      *5547            *4747    

        *2889


 why, as though living in the world, are ye subject to

ordinances,


 *5101           *2198          *2889          *1379       *1379




21  (Touch not; taste not; handle not;


     *0680       *1089       *2345  




22  Which all  are to perish with the using;) after the

commandments and


    *3739  *3956        *5356            *0671    *2596      

*1778        


 doctrines of men?


 *1319         *0444




23  Which things have indeed a shew of wisdom in will worship,

and humility,


    *3748         *2192 *3303     *3056    *4678      *1479

*1479         *5012


 and neglecting of the body: not in any  honour to the

satisfying of the


     *0857              *4983         *5100 *5092          *4140

         


 flesh.


 *4561




3:1  If   ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which

are above,


     *1487    *3767    *4891       *5547    *2212 *3588          

         *0507


 where Christ sitteth on   the right hand of God.


 *3757  *5547   *2521    *1722     *1188          *2316




2  Set  your affection on things above, not on things on   the

earth.


   *5426      *5426                *0507                 *1909  

  *1093




3  For ye are dead, and your life is hid  with Christ in God.


              *0599      *5216 *2222    *2928      *5547      

*2316




4  When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye

also appear


   *3752 *5547               *2222        *5316    *5119        

 *2532 *5316


 with him in glory.


             *1391




5  Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth;

fornication,


   *3499    *3767      *5216 *3196    *3588               *1093  

 *4202


 uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and

covetousness,


 *0167         *3806       *3806       *2556 *1939              

*4124


 which is idolatry:


 *3748     *1495




6  For which things' sake the wrath of God  cometh on   the

children of


       *3739                   *3709     *2316 *2064   *1909    

*5207    


 disobedience:


 *0543




7  In the which ye also walked some time, when ye lived in them.


          *3739     *2532 *4043   *4218 *4218  *3753    *2198    

 




8  But now  ye also put  off  all  these; anger, wrath, malice,

blasphemy,


       *3570    *2532 *0659 *0659 *3956 *3588   *3709   *2372  

*2549    *0988


 filthy communication out of your mouth.


 *0140   *0148                 *5216 *4750




9  Lie  not one  to another, seeing that ye have put  off  the

old  man  with


   *5574     *0240    *0240                         *0554 *0554  

   *3820 *0444


 his deeds;


     *4234




10  And have put  on   the new  man, which is renewed in

knowledge after the


             *1746 *1746     *3501      *3588     *0341      

*1922      *2596  


 image of him that created him:


 *1504              *2936    




11  Where there is neither Greek nor  Jew, circumcision nor  

uncircumcision,


    *3699           *3756    *1672  *2532 *2453 *4061        

*2532 *0203


 Barbarian, Scythian, bond nor free: but Christ is all, and in

all.


 *0915       *4658      *1401     *1658      *5547      *3956    

    *3956




12  Put  on   therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved,

bowels of


    *1746 *1746 *3767              *1588     *2316 *0040    

*0025     *4698  


 mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering;


 *3628     *5544      *5012                *4236      *3115




13  Forbearing one  another, and forgiving one  another, if  

any  man have


    *0430       *0240 *0240         *5483      *1438 *1438    

*1437 *5100     *2192


 a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so   also do

ye.


   *3437    *4314    *5100 *2532    *5547   *5483         *3779

*2532    




14  And above all  these things put on charity, which is the

bond of


        *1909  *3956 *5125                *0026     *3748        

 *4886


 perfectness.


 *5047




15  And let the peace of God  rule in your hearts, to the which

also ye are


                *1515     *2316 *1018    *5216 *2588          

*3739  *2532    


 called in one  body; and be ye thankful.


 *2564      *1520 *4983            *2170




16  Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all  wisdom;

teaching and


            *3056    *5547   *1774         *4146      *3956

*4678    *1321    


 admonishing one  another in psalms and hymns and spiritual

songs, singing


 *3560        *1438 *1438       *5568       *5215      *4152    

 *5603   *0103


 with grace in your hearts to the Lord.


      *5485     *5216 *2588          *2962




17  And whatsoever ye do   in word or   deed, do   all  in the

name of the


        *5100          *4160    *3056 *2228 *2041  *4160 *3956  

     *3686    


 Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God  and the Father by him.


 *2962 *2424          *2168      *2316         *3962      




18  Wives, submit yourselves unto your own  husbands, as it is

fit  in the


    *1135   *5293                   *2398 *2398 *0435            

   *0433    


 Lord.


 *2962




19  Husbands, love your wives, and be not bitter against them.


    *0435      *0025 *3588 *1135              *4087   *4314    




20  Children, obey your parents in all  things: for this is well

pleasing


    *5043      *5219 *3588 *1118       *3956             *5124  

 *2101 *2101


 unto the Lord.


          *2962




21  Fathers, provoke not your children to anger, lest they be

discouraged.


    *3962     *2042        *5216 *5043               *3361      

  *0120




22  Servants, obey in all  things your masters according to the

flesh; not


    *1401      *5219    *3956        *3588 *2962    *2596        

     *4561  


 with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but in singleness of heart,

fearing God;


      *3787           *0441                *0572          *2588  

 *5399    *2316




23  And whatsoever ye do,  do   it heartily, as to the Lord, and

not unto


        *1437          *4160 *2038    *5590                *2962

         


 men;


 *0444




24  Knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the

inheritance:


    *1492                *2962          *0618        *0469      

   *2817


 for ye serve the Lord Christ.


        *1398      *2962 *5547




25  But he that doeth wrong shall receive for the wrong which he

hath done:


                *0091  *0091        *2865            *0091  

*3739          *0091


 and there is no   respect of persons.


              *3756 *4382       *4382




4:1  Masters, give unto your servants that which is just and

equal; knowing


     *2962     *3930      *3588 *1401                   *1342    

 *2471   *1492


 that ye also have a Master in heaven.


         *2532 *2192   *2962      *3772




2  Continue in prayer, and watch in the same with thanksgiving;


   *4342        *4335        *1127         *0846      *2169




3  Withal praying also for us, that God  would open unto us a

door of


   *0260   *4336    *2532              *2316       *0455        

  *2374


 utterance, to speak the mystery of Christ, for which I am also

in bonds:


 *3056          *2980      *3466       *5547        *3739      

*2532    *1210




4  That I may make it manifest, as I ought to speak.


              *5319    *5319           *1163     *2980




5  Walk in wisdom toward them that are without, redeeming the

time.


   *4043    *4678   *4314                 *1854     *1805        

  *2540




6  Let your speech be alway with grace, seasoned with salt, that

ye may know


       *5216 *3056      *0104       *5485   *0741          *0217

             *1492


 how  ye ought to answer every man.


 *4459    *1163     *0611   *1538  *1520




7  All  my state shall Tychicus declare unto you, who is a

beloved brother,


   *3956    *2596        *5190     *1107                      

*0027    *0080


 and a faithful minister and fellowservant in the Lord:


       *4103     *1249         *4889                 *2962




8  Whom I have sent unto you for the same purpose, that he might

know your


   *3739        *3992                  *0846                    

   *1097 *5216


 estate, and comfort your hearts;


 *4012        *3870    *5216 *2588




9  With Onesimus, a faithful and beloved brother, who  is one of

you. They


        *3682        *4103         *0027    *0080     *3739      

         


 shall make known unto you all  things which are done here.


       *1107 *1107           *3956        *3588           *5602




10  Aristarchus my fellowprisoner saluteth you, and Marcus,

sister's son  to


    *0708           *4869           *0782              *3138    

*0431     *0431


 Barnabas, (touching whom ye received commandments: if   he come

unto you,


 *0921       *4012     *3739    *2983     *1785          *1437  

 *2064      


 receive him;)


 *1209    




11  And Jesus, which is called Justus, who  are of the

circumcision. These


        *2424   *3588     *3004   *2459    *3588            

*4061          *3778


 only are my fellowworkers unto the kingdom of God, which have

been a


 *3441        *4904                   *0932       *2316 *3748    

   *1096


 comfort unto me.


 *3931        




12  Epaphras, who  is one of you, a servant of Christ, saluteth

you, always


    *1889      *3588                  *1401       *5547    *0782

         *3842


 labouring fervently for you in prayers, that ye may stand

perfect and


 *0075                           *4335                 *2476  

*5046    


 complete in all  the will of God.


 *4137        *3956     *2307    *2316




13  For I bear him record, that he hath a great zeal for you,

and them that


          *3140     *3140            *2192   *4183  *2205        

           


 are in Laodicea, and them in Hierapolis.

14  Luke, the beloved physician, and Demas, greet you.


    *3065      *0027    *2395           *1214   *0782  




15  Salute the brethren which are in Laodicea, and Nymphas, and

the church


    *0782       *0080                  *2993          *3564      

       *1577


 which is in his house.


                 *3624




16  And when this epistle is read among you, cause that it be

read also in


        *3752 *3588 *1992       *0314 *3844       *4160

 the church of the Laodiceans; and that ye likewise read the

epistle from

 Laodicea.

17  And say  to Archippus, Take heed to the ministry which thou

hast


        *2036    *0751            *0991        *1248     *3739  

   


 received in the Lord, that thou fulfil it.


 *3880            *2962            *4137  




18  The salutation by the hand of me Paul. Remember my bonds.

Grace be with


        *0783              *5495       *3972  *3421        *1199

  *5485    


 you. Amen.
