which is come unto you, even as in all the world, and is fruitful; as it hath been also among you, from the day in which ye heard and knew the grace of God in truth.

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

who also declared unto us your love in the Spirit.

For this cause we also, from the day that we heard it, cease not to pray for you, and to request that ye may be filled with the knowledge of his will, in all wisdom and spiritual understanding:

in order to which I also labour, striving earnestly according to his energy which operates in me with power.

In whom also ye are circumcised with the circumcision not performed by hands, in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh, by the circumcision which is of Christ:

being buried with Him in baptism, wherein also ye are raised together with Him, through faith in the power of God, who raised Him from the dead.

When Christ, who is your life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with Him in glory.

In which ye also formerly walked, when ye lived among them.

But now put away all these also, wrath, animosity, malice, calumny, and filthy discourse out of your mouth.

bearing with one another, and forgiving one another, if any one has a complaint against any: even as Christ hath forgiven you, so also do ye.

And let the peace of God preside in your hearts, to which ye are also called as united in one body: and be thankful for it.

and ye masters, render to your servants justice and equity, knowing that ye also have a Master in heaven.

Praying at the same time for us also, that God would open to us a door of utterance, to declare the mystery of Christ, for which also I am in bonds: that I may make it manifest, as I ought.

whom I have sent to you for this purpose also that he may know your affairs, and comfort your hearts;

And when this letter has been read amongst you, cause it to be read also in the church of the Laodiceans; that ye may also read that from Laodicea.
