whose end is perdition, whose god is the belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things.

In nothing be anxious; but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.

And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus.

The things which ye both learned and received and heard and saw in me, these things do: and the God of peace shall be with you.

But I have all things, and abound: I am filled, having received from Epaphroditus the things that came from you, an odor of a sweet smell, a sacrifice acceptable, well-pleasing to God.

And my God shall supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.

Now unto our God and Father be the glory for ever and ever. Amen.

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

to the saints and faithful brethren in Christ that are at Colossae: Grace to you and peace from God our Father.

We give thanks to God the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, praying always for you,

which is come unto you; even as it is also in all the world bearing fruit and increasing, as it doth in you also, since the day ye heard and knew the grace of God in truth;

to walk worthily of the Lord unto all pleasing, bearing fruit in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God;

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

whereof I was made a minister, according to the dispensation of God which was given me to you-ward, to fulfil the word of God,

to whom God was pleased to make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:

that their hearts may be comforted, they being knit together in love, and unto all riches of the full assurance of understanding, that they may know the mystery of God, even Christ,

having been buried with him in baptism, wherein ye were also raised with him through faith in the working of God, who raised him from the dead.

and not holding fast the Head, from whom all the body, being supplied and knit together through the joints and bands, increaseth with the increase of God.

If then ye were raised together with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated on the right hand of God.

For ye died, and your life is hid with Christ in God.
