which has come to you, just as in all the world it is bearing fruit and growing, even as it has been doing among you since the day you heard it and understood the grace of God in truth;

if indeed you continue in the faith firmly established and steadfast, and are not moved away from the hope of the gospel that you have heard, which has been proclaimed to every creature under heaven, and of which I, Paul, have become a minister.

the mystery that has been kept hidden for ages and generations, but is now disclosed to the saints.

and you have been made complete in him, who is the head over all rule and authority.

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

If then you have been raised with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God.

When this letter has been read among you, have it also read in the church of the Laodiceans; and see that you read the letter from Laodicea.
