strengthened with all power, according to the might of his glory, for all endurance and perseverance with joy;

giving thanks to the Father, who made you fit to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in the light;

He is the head of the body, the church, who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence.

and through him to reconcile all things to himself, by him, whether things on the earth, or things in the heavens, having made peace through the blood of his cross.

if it is so that you continue in the faith, grounded and steadfast, and not moved away from the hope of the Good News which you heard, which is being proclaimed in all creation under heaven; of which I, Paul, was made a servant.

of which I was made a servant, according to the stewardship of God which was given me toward you, to fulfill the word of God,

and in him you are made full, who is the head of all principality and power;

in whom you were also circumcised with a circumcision not made with hands, in the putting off of the body of the flesh, in the circumcision of Christ;

You were dead through your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh. He made you alive together with him, having forgiven us all our trespasses,

having disarmed the rulers and authorities, he made a show of them openly, triumphing over them in it.

All my affairs will be made known to you by Tychicus, the beloved brother, faithful servant, and fellow bondservant in the Lord.
