For by him were all things created, things in the heavens, and things upon earth, things visible and invisible, whether thrones, whether dominions, whether beginnings, whether authorities: all were created by him, and for him:

Being rooted and built up in him, and rendered firm in the faith, as ye were taught, abounding in it with gratitude.

In whom also were ye circumcised with the circumcision not made by hands, in the putting off the body of the sins of the flesh in the circumcision of Christ;

Buried together with him in immersion, in which also were ye risen together by the faith of the operation of God, having raised him from the dead.

And let the peace of God act as umpire in your hearts, to which also, ye were called in one body: and be grateful.

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