which has come to you; even as it is in all the world and is bearing fruit and growing, as it does in you also, since the day you heard and knew the grace of God in truth;

yet now he has reconciled in the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and without blemish and blameless before him,

the mystery which has been hidden for ages and generations. But now it has been revealed to his saints,

wiping out the handwriting in ordinances which was against us; and he has taken it out of the way, nailing it to the cross;

Let no one rob you of your prize by a voluntary humility and worshipping of the angels, dwelling in the things which he has seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind,

bearing with one another, and forgiving each other, if anyone has a complaint against another; even as the Lord forgave you, so you also do.

But he who does wrong will receive again for the wrong that he has done, and there is no partiality.

For I testify about him, that he has worked hard for you, and for those in Laodicea, and for those in Hierapolis.

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