that ye may walk worthily of the Lord so as to please him in all things, bearing fruit in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God;

for in him were created all things, those in the heavens, and those on the earth, the visible and the invisible, whether thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers, all things have been created through him and for him;

and he is before all things, and in him all things subsist.

for God was pleased that in him all the fullness should dwell, and by him to reconcile all things to himself,

having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him, I say, whether the things on earth, or those in the heavens.

As therefore ye have received Christ Jesus the Lord, walk in him,

rooted and built up in him, and established in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving.

For in him dwelleth all the fullness of the Godhead bodily,

and ye are made full in him, who is the head of all principality and power;

having been buried with him in your baptism; in which also ye were raised to life with him through faith in the working of God, who raised him from the dead;

and to you also who were dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he given life together with him, having forgiven us all our trespasses;

and having disarmed principalities and powers, he made a public show of them, and led them captive in triumph in him.

when Christ, our life, shall be manifested, then will ye also be manifested with him in glory.

and have put on the new man, who is renewed unto knowledge after the image of him that created him;

and whatever ye do, in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God, the Father, through him.

Aristarchus, my fellowprisoner, saluteth you, and Mark, the cousin of Barnabas, concerning whom ye received directions (if he come to you, receive him),

For I bear him witness, that he hath much labor for you, and those that are in Laodicea, and those in Hierapolis.
