Paul, an Apostle of Jesus Christ, by the purpose of God, and Timothy our brother,
To the saints and true brothers in Christ at Colossae: Grace to you and peace from God our Father.
Now I have joy in my pain because of you, and in my flesh I undergo whatever is still needed to make the sorrows of Christ complete, for the salvation of his body, the church;
To whom God was pleased to give knowledge of the wealth of the glory of this secret among the Gentiles, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:
Whom we are preaching; guiding and teaching every man in all wisdom, so that every man may be complete in Christ;
We give praise to God the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, making prayer for you at all times,
After hearing of your faith in Christ Jesus, and of the love which you have for all the saints,
As it was given to you by Epaphras, our well-loved helper, who is a true servant of Christ for us,
In whom you had a circumcision not made with hands, in the putting off of the body of the flesh, in the circumcision of Christ;
For these are an image of the things which are to come; but the body is Christ's.
So that their hearts may be comforted, and that being joined together in love, they may come to the full wealth of the certain knowledge of the secret of God, even Christ,
If you were made free, by your death with Christ, from the rules of the world, why do you put yourselves under the authority of orders
For though I am not present in the flesh, still I am with you in the spirit, seeing with joy your order, and your unchanging faith in Christ.
As, then, you took Christ Jesus the Lord, so go on in him,
Take care that no one takes you away by force, through man's wisdom and deceit, going after the beliefs of men and the theories of the world, and not after Christ:
If then you have a new life with Christ, give your attention to the things of heaven, where Christ is seated at the right hand of God.
Where there is no Greek or Jew, no one with circumcision or without circumcision, no division between nations, no servant or free man: but Christ is all and in all.
And let the peace of Christ be ruling in your hearts, as it was the purpose of God for you to be one body; and give praise to God at all times.
Let the word of Christ be in you in all wealth of wisdom; teaching and helping one another with songs of praise and holy words, making melody to God with grace in your hearts.
Being certain that the Lord will give you the reward of the heritage: for you are the servants of the Lord Christ.
For your life on earth is done, and you have a secret life with Christ in God.
At the coming of Christ who is our life, you will be seen with him in glory.
Epaphras, who is one of you, a servant of Christ Jesus, sends you his love, ever taking thought for you in his prayers, that you may be complete and fully certain of all the purpose of God.
And making prayer for us, that God may give us an open door for the preaching of the word, the secret of Christ, for which I am now in chains;
Paul, an Apostle of Christ Jesus by the purpose of God, to the saints who are at Ephesus, and those who have faith in Christ Jesus:
The ordering of the times when they are complete, so that all things might come to a head in Christ, the things in heaven and the things on the earth; in him, I say,
So that his glory might have praise through us who first had hope in Christ:
That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you a spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him;
Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
By which he made Christ come back from the dead, and gave him a place at his right hand in heaven,
Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has given us every blessing of the Spirit in the heavens in Christ:
As we were designed before by him for the position of sons to himself, through Jesus Christ, in the good pleasure of his purpose,
For by his act we were given existence in Christ Jesus to do those good works which God before made ready for us so that we might do them.
That you were at that time without Christ, being cut off from any part in Israel's rights as a nation, having no part in God's agreement, having no hope, and without God in the world.
But now in Christ Jesus you who at one time were far off are made near in the blood of Christ.
Resting on the base of the Apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus himself being the chief keystone,
Even when we were dead through our sins, gave us life together with Christ (by grace you have salvation),
So that we came back from death with him, and are seated with him in the heavens, in Christ Jesus;
That in the time to come he might make clear the full wealth of his grace in his mercy to us in Christ Jesus:
For this cause I Paul, the prisoner of Christ Jesus for you Gentiles,
Which is seen in his eternal purpose in Christ Jesus our Lord:
So that Christ may have his place in your hearts through faith; and that you, being rooted and based in love,
And to have knowledge of the love of Christ which is outside all knowledge, so that you may be made complete as God himself is complete.
To him be the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus to all generations for ever and ever. So be it.
