because in Him were all things created, in the heavens, and upon the earth, the visible and the invisible, whether thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers??ll things have been created through Him, and for Him;

and He is before all things, and in Him all things have held together.

because it was pleasing that in Him all the fulness should dwell;

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.

yet now did He reconcile in the body of His flesh through death, to present you holy, and without blemish, and irreproachable, before Him;

As, therefore, ye received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in Him;

having been rooted and being built up in Him, and being established in the faith as ye were taught, abounding with thanksgiving.

because in Him dwells all the fulness of the Godhead bodily;

and ye have been made complete in Him, Who is the Head of all principality and power;

having been buried with Him in your immersion, in which ye were also raised with Him through faith in the working of God, Who raised Him from the dead;

and you, being dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, did He make alive with Him: having freely forgiven us all our trespasses;

When Christ, our Life, shall be manifested, then shall ye also with Him be manifested in glory.

and having put on the new man who is being renewed unto full knowledge, according to the image of Him Who created him;

And whatsoever ye do in word or in deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him.

Aristarchus, my fellow-captive, salutes you, and Mark, the cousin of Barnabas, concerning whom ye received commandments (if he come to you, receive him),

For I bear him witness, that he has much concern in behalf of you, and those in Laodicea, and those in Hierapolis.
