Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, and Timothy the brother,

to the holy and faithful brothers in Christ at Colossae: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and Lord Jesus Christ.

We give thanks to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, always praying about you,

having heard of your faith in Christ Jesus, and the love toward all the sanctified,

Whom we proclaim, admonishing every man and teaching every man in all wisdom, so that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus.

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

And all things, anything whatever ye may do in word or in deed, do all in the name of Lord Jesus, expressing thanks to the God and Father through him.

and Jesus who is called Justus, these being the only fellow workmen from the circumcision for the kingdom of God, men who became a comfort to me.
