PAUL, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and Timothy a brother,

to the saints at Colosse, and to the faithful brethren in Christ: grace be unto you, and peace from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ.

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

having heard of your faith in Christ Jesus, and the love ye show to all the saints;

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

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

And everything that ye do in word or in work, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.

and Jesus, who is called Justus, who are of the circumcision. These only are my fellow-labourers for the kingdom of God, who have been a comfort to me.
