because by him were created all things, the things in the heavens and the things upon the earth, the visible and the invisible, whether thrones, or lordships, or principalities, or authorities: all things have been created by him and for him.

And he is before all, and all things subsist together by him.

for in him all the fulness of the Godhead was pleased to dwell,

and by him to reconcile all things to itself, having made peace by the blood of his cross by him, whether the things on the earth or the things in the heavens.

As therefore ye have received the Christ, Jesus the Lord, walk in him,

rooted and built up in him, and assured in the faith, even as ye have been taught, abounding in it with thanksgiving.

For in him dwells all the fulness of the Godhead bodily;

and ye are complete in him, who is the head of all principality and authority,

buried with him in baptism, in which ye have been also raised with him through faith of the working of God who raised him from among the dead.

And you, being dead in offences and in the uncircumcision of your flesh, he has quickened together with him, having forgiven us all the offences;

When the Christ is manifested who is our life, then shall ye also be manifested with him in glory.

and having put on the new, renewed into full knowledge according to the image of him that has created him;

And everything, whatever ye may do in word or in deed, do all things in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father by him.

Aristarchus my fellow-captive salutes you, and Mark, Barnabas's cousin, concerning whom ye have received orders, (if he come to you, receive him,)

For I bear him witness that he labours much for you, and them in Laodicea, and them in Hierapolis.
