because in him all things are created, in the heavens and upon the earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or lordships or governments or authorities. All things were created by him, and unto him;

and he before all things, and all things consist in him:

because in him all fulness is pleased to dwell;

and through him, to reconcile all things unto himself, having made peace through the blood of his cross: through him, whether things upon the earth, or things in the heavens.

in the body of his cross through death, to present you holy and blameless and unreprovable before him,

Therefore as you received Christ Jesus the Lord, walk about in him,

having been rooted and grounded in him, and confirmed in the faith, as you have been taught, abounding in thanksgiving.

because in him dwells all the fulness of the Godhead bodily,

and you are complete in him, who is the head of all government and authority:

having been buried with him in baptism, in which you are also raised by the faith of the operation of God, who raised him from the dead:

when Christ, your life, may appear, then will you also appear with him in glory.

and having put on the new man, who is renewed into perfect knowledge according to the image of him who created him:

and every thing whatsoever you may do, in word or in work, do all things in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.

Aristarchus my fellow-soldier salutes you, and Mark the cousin of Barnabas concerning whom you received commandments; if he may come to you, receive him;

For I testify to him, that he always has much solicitude for you, and those who are in Laodicea, and those who are in Hierapolis.
