which is present to you, as also in all the world, and is bearing fruit, as also in you, from the day in which ye heard, and knew the grace of God in truth;

as ye also learned from Epaphras, our beloved fellow-servant, who is for you a faithful ministrant of the Christ,

who also did declare to us your love in the Spirit.

Because of this, we also, from the day in which we heard, do not cease praying for you, and asking that ye may be filled with the full knowledge of His will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding,

if also ye remain in the faith, being founded and settled, and not moved away from the hope of the good news, which ye heard, which was preached in all the creation that is under the heaven, of which I became -- I Paul -- a ministrant.

for which also I labour, striving according to his working that is working in me in power.

in whom also ye were circumcised with a circumcision not made with hands, in the putting off of the body of the sins of the flesh in the circumcision of the Christ,

being buried with him in the baptism, in which also ye rose with him through the faith of the working of God, who did raise him out of the dead.

when the Christ -- our life -- may be manifested, then also we with him shall be manifested in glory.

in which also ye -- ye did walk once, when ye lived in them;

forbearing one another, and forgiving each other, if any one with any one may have a quarrel, as also the Christ did forgive you -- so also ye;

and let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which also ye were called in one body, and become thankful.

The masters! that which is righteous and equal to the servants give ye, having known that ye also have a Master in the heavens.

praying at the same time also for us, that God may open to us a door for the word, to speak the secret of the Christ, because of which also I have been bound,

and when the epistle may be read with you, cause that also in the assembly of the Laodiceans it may be read, and the epistle from Laodicea that ye also may read;
