Paul, sent of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and Timothy the brother,

To the holy among the Colossians, and the faithful brethren in Christ: Grace to you, and peace, from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

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

Having heard of your faith in Christ Jesus, and love to all the holy,

Whom we announce, reminding every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom; that we may present every man perfected in Christ jesus:

Therefore as ye received Christ Jesus the Lord, walk in him:

And all whatever you do in word and in work, all things in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.

And Jesus, called Justus, they being of the circumcision. These only fellow workers in the kingdom of God, which were a consolation to me.
