Which is come unto you, as it is in all the world; and brings forth fruit, as it does also in you, since the day you heard of it, and knew the grace of God in truth:

As you also learned of Epaphras our dear fellow servant, who is for you a faithful minister of Christ;

Who also declared unto us your love in the Spirit.

For this cause we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to desire that you might be filled with the knowledge of his will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding;

For which I also labor, striving according to his working, who works in me mightily.

In whom also you are circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ:

Buried with him in baptism, in which also you are risen with him through the faith of the working of God, who has raised him from the dead.

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

In which you also once walked, when you lived in them.

But now you also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy talk out of your mouth.

Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do you.

And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which also you are called in one body; and be thankful.

Masters, give unto your servants that which is just and equal; knowing that you also have a Master in heaven.

Praying also for us, that God would open unto us a door of utterance, to speak the mystery of Christ, for which I am also in bonds:

And when this epistle is read among you, cause that it be read also in the church of the Laodiceans; and that you likewise read the epistle from Laodicea.
