and himself is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the first begotten from the dead, in order that in all things himself may be preeminent:

whom we preach, admonishing every man and teaching every man in all wisdom, in order that we may present every man perfect in Christ;

in order that their hearts may be comforted, being knitted together in divine love, and in all the riches of the full assurance of understanding, unto the perfect knowledge of the mystery of God, of Christ,

I say this in order that no one may deceive you with a persuasive speech.

For if I am absent in the flesh, but I am present with you in spirit, rejoicing and seeing your order, and the establishment of your faith toward Christ.

Ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath, in order that they may not be discouraged.

at the same time also praying for us, in order that God may open to us the door of the word, to speak the mystery of Christ, on account of which I indeed am bound;

in order that I may manifest the same, as it behooves me to speak.

whom I sent unto you for this same thing, in order that you may know the things concerning us, and he may comfort your hearts;

Epaphras, who is from you, the servant of Jesus Christ, always agonizing in your behalf in his prayers, in order that you may stand perfect even having been fully carried away in all the will of God, salutes you.
