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

in whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins,

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

in the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and unblemished and unblameable before him.

Take heed lest there will be any man taking you captive through the love of wisdom and empty deceit, according to the tradition of men, according to the rudiments of the world, and not according to Christ.

Having been buried with him in immersion, in which also ye were raised together through faith of the working of God, who raised him from the dead.

and not holding to the head, from whom all the body, being supplied and held together through the connections and bonds, develops its growth from God.

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.
