What ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, these things do; and the God of peace shall be with you.

But I have all things in full supply and abound; I am full, having received of Epaphroditus the things [sent] from you, an odour of sweet savour, an acceptable sacrifice, agreeable to God.

But my God shall abundantly supply all your need according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.

But to our God and Father [be] glory to the ages of ages. Amen.

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].

We give thanks to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ continually [when] praying for you,

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:

[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;

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

of which *I* became minister, according to the dispensation of God which [is] given me towards you to complete the word of God,

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:

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;

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.

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.

If therefore ye have been raised with the Christ, seek the things [which are] above, where the Christ is, sitting at [the] right hand of God:

for ye have died, and your life is hid with the Christ in God.

On account of which things the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience.

Put on therefore, as [the] elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of compassion, kindness, lowliness, meekness, longsuffering;

Let the word of the Christ dwell in you richly, in all wisdom teaching and admonishing one another, in psalms, hymns, spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to God.

And everything, whatever ye may do in word or in deed, [do] all things in [the] name of [the] Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father by him.
