And my God will fill your every need according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus.

Now may glory be to our God and Father forever and ever. Amen.

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

to the saints and faithful brothers in Christ in Colosse: Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

We give thanks to God and the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, praying continually about you,

coming to you, as also in all the world, and it is bearing fruit even also among you, from the day in which you heard and knew the grace of God in truth;

for you to walk worthily of the Lord to all pleasing, bearing fruit in every good work and growing into the full knowledge of God;

who is the image of the invisible God, the First-born of all creation.

of which I became a minister, according to the administration of God given to me for you, to fulfill the Word of God,

to whom God willed to make known what are the riches of the glory of this mystery among the nations, who is Christ in you, the hope of glory;

that their hearts may be comforted, being joined together in love, and to all riches of the full assurance of the understanding, to the full knowledge of the mystery of God, even of the Father and of Christ,

being buried with Him in baptism, in whom also you were raised through the faith of the working of God, raising Him from among the dead.

and not holding fast the Head, from whom all the body having been supplied through the joints and bands, and being joined together, will grow with the growth of God.

If, then, you were raised with Christ, seek the things above, where Christ is sitting at the right of God; Psa. 110:1

For you died, and your life has been hidden with Christ in God.

on account of which things the wrath of God is coming on the sons of disobedience,

Therefore, as elect ones of God, holy and beloved, put on a heart of compassions, kindness, humility, meekness, long-suffering,

And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which you also were called in one body, and be thankful.

And everything, whatever you do in word or in work, do all things in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father through Him.

Slaves, obey the lords according to flesh in all respects, not with eye-service as men-pleasers, but in singleness of heart, fearing God.
