which is come unto you, as it is also unto all the world; and beareth fruit, as also among you, from the day that ye heard and knew the grace of God in truth;

who also declared to us your love in the Spirit.

For this cause we also from the day we heard it have not ceased praying for you, and beseeching God that ye may be filled with the knowledge of his will, in all wisdom and spiritual understanding;

for which also I am labouring, conflicting in the energy of his might, which worketh in me powerfully.

in whom also ye have been circumcised with the circumcision not made with hands, by the putting off the body of the sins of the flesh, through the circumcision of Christ:

buried with him in baptism, in which also ye have been raised up together with him by faith, the energy of God, who raised him from the dead.

When Christ shall appear, who is our life, then shall you also with him be manifested in glory.

in which ye also walked formerly when ye lived among them:

forbearing one another, and freely forgiving one another, if any man hath a complaint against another: even as Christ hath freely forgiven you, so also do ye.

And let the peace of God set up its throne in your hearts, whereunto also ye have been called in one body; and be ye thankful.

MASTERS, afford to your servants that which is just, and an equivalent, knowing that ye also have a Master in the heavens.

praying also at the same time for us, that God may open to us a door for the word, that I may speak the mystery of Christ, for which I am also in chains:

And when this epistle hath been read among you, cause that it also be read in the church of the Laodiceans, and that ye also read that from Laodicea.
