in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins;

if you continue in the faith, founded and settled, and be not moved away from the hope of the gospel that you have heard, which has been preached to every creature under heaven, of which I, Paul, have been made a minister.

For I wish you to know how great a conflict I have for you, and for those in Laodicea, and for as many as have not seen my face in the flesh;

rooted, and built up in him, and strengthened in the faith, as you have been taught, abounding in it with thanksgiving.

in whom you have been also circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, in the putting off the body of the sins of the flesh, by the circumcision of Christ,

If, then, you have died with Christ from the elements of the world, why, as though living in the world, do you submit to ordinances?

and these have a show of wisdom in will-worship and affected humility and neglect of the body, and in no regard for the gratification of the flesh.

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

Lie not one to another, seeing that you have put off the old man with his deeds,

and have put on the new man, which is renewed for knowledge, ac cording to the image of him that created him;

bearing with one another, and forgiving one another, if any one have a complaint against any; even as Christ forgave you, so also do you:

Masters, give to your servants what is just and equal, for you know that you have a Master in heaven.

I have sent him to you for this very purpose, that he may know your condition, and comfort your hearts;

I have sent him with Onesimus, my faithful and beloved brother, who is one of you. They will make known all things that are done here.

Jesus also, who is called Justus, salutes you: these are of the circumcision: and these only are my fellow-workers for the kingdom of God, who have been a comfort to me.

and say to Archippus: Take heed to the ministry which you have received in the Lord, that you fulfill it.
