to the saints and faithful brethren in Christ who are in Colosse: Grace to you, and peace, from God our Father.

which is present among you, even as it is in all the world bearing fruit and increasing, as it does in you also, since the day ye heard and knew the grace of God in truth;

and through Him to reconcile all things to Himself, having made peace through the blood of His cross; through Him, whether the things on the earth, or the things in the heavens.

having blotted out the hand-writing in decrees against us, which was contrary to us, and He has taken it out of the midst, nailing it to the cross;

Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another with psalms, hymns, spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts, to God.

Let your speech be always with grace, seasoned with salt, that ye may know how ye ought to answer each one.

The salutation, with my hand, of Paul. Remember my bonds. Grace be with you.
