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

because in Him were all things created, in the heavens, and upon the earth, the visible and the invisible, whether thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers??ll things have been created through Him, and for Him;

and through Him to reconcile all things to Himself, having made peace through the blood of His cross; through Him, whether the things on the earth, or the things in the heavens.

yet now did He reconcile in the body of His flesh through death, to present you holy, and without blemish, and irreproachable, before Him;

Beware, lest there should be any one who makes a spoil of you through his philosophy and vain deceits, according to the tradition of men, according to the rudiments of the world, and not according to Christ;

having been buried with Him in your immersion, in which ye were also raised with Him through faith in the working of God, Who raised Him from the dead;

and not holding fast the Head from Whom all the body, being supplied and knit together through the joints and bands, increases with the increase of God.

And whatsoever ye do in word or in deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him.
