for by Him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are on the earth, the visible and the invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers; all were created by Him, and for Him.

He is before all, and by Him all things subsist.

For it pleased the Father, that all fulness should dwell in Him;

and by Him to reconcile all things to Himself, having made peace by the blood of his cross; by Him only, whether they be things on earth, or things in heaven.

Therefore as ye have received Christ Jesus the Lord, walk in Him;

rooted and built up in Him, and established in the faith, as ye have been taught it, abounding therein with thanksgiving.

for all the fulness of the deity dwelleth personally in Him.

And ye are complete in Him, who is the head of all principality and power.

being buried with Him in baptism, wherein also ye are raised together with Him, through faith in the power of God, who raised Him from the dead.

And when ye were dead in trespasses, and in the uncircumcision of your flesh, He made you alive together with Him, having forgiven you all trespasses,

When Christ, who is your life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with Him in glory.

and have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge, after the image of Him that created him.

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

Aristarchus my fellow-prisoner saluteth you, and Marcus nephew to Barnabas, concerning whom ye have received orders; (if he come to you, receive him;) and Jesus who is called Justus:

for I bear him witness, that he is very zealous for you, and for those in Laodicea, and Hierapolis.
