that has come to you, just as also in all the world it is bearing fruit and increasing, just as also among you from the day you heard about and understood the grace of God in truth,

[who] also made clear to us your love in the Spirit.

Because of this also we, from the day we heard about [it], did not cease praying for you, and asking that you may be filled [with] the knowledge of his will in all wisdom and spiritual insight,

for which [purpose] also I labor, striving according to his working which is at work powerfully in me.

in whom also you were circumcised with a circumcision not made by hands, by the removal of the body of the flesh, by the circumcision of Christ,

having been buried with him in baptism, in which also you were raised together with [him] through faith in the working of God, who raised him from the dead.

When Christ, [who is] your life, is revealed, then you also will be revealed with him in glory.

in which also you once lived, when you used to live in them.

But now you also lay aside all [these] things: anger, rage, wickedness, slander, abusive language from your mouth.

putting up with one another and forgiving one another. If anyone should have a complaint against anyone, just as also the Lord forgave you, thus also you [do the same].

And the peace of Christ must rule in your hearts, to which also you were called in one body, and be thankful.

Masters, grant your slaves justice and fairness, knowing that you also have a master in heaven.

praying at the same time for us also, that God may open for us a door of the message, to speak the mystery of Christ, for which also {I am a prisoner},

And whenever this letter is read among you, {see to it} that it is read also among the Laodicean church, and that you also read the [letter] from Laodicea.
