As also ye learned from Epaphras our beloved fellowservant, who is a faithful servant of Christ for you;

Who saved us from the power of darkness, and transferred into the kingdom of the Son of his love:

In whom we have redemption by his blood, the remission of sins:

Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation:

And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that he might be the first in all

To whom God would make known what the riches of the glory of this mystery in the nations; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:

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

In whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.

And ye are completed in him, who is the head of all beginning and power:

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;

And not having power over the Head, from whom all the body, by all the senses of touch and connections furnished and joined together, increases with the increase of God.

Whom I sent to you for this same, that he might know the things concerning you, and comfort your hearts;

With Onesimus, the faithful and dearly beloved brother, who is of you. They shall make known to you all the thing here.

Aristarchus my fellowcaptive greets you, and Marcus, sister's son to Barnabas, (for whom ye received commands: if he come to you, receive him;)

Epaphras, who of you, greets you, a servant of Christ, always contending for you in prayers, that ye may stand perfected and completed in all the will of God.
