As ye also learned of Epaphras our beloved fellow-servant, who is a faithful minister of Christ for you;

who also declared unto us your love in the Spirit.

giving thanks unto the Father, who hath made us meet for a portion of the inheritance of the saints in light:

who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath transferred us into the kingdom of his beloved Son:

in whom we have redemption by his blood, even the remission of sins.

Who is the image of the invisible God, the first-born of the whole creation:

And He is the head of the body, which is the church: who is the beginning, the first-born from the dead, that in all things He might have the pre-eminence.

to whom God would make known the rich glory of this mystery, among the gentiles; which is this, that Christ is in you the hope of glory:

whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom, that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus:

in whom are all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.

And ye are complete in Him, who is the head of all principality and power.

In whom also ye are circumcised with the circumcision not performed by hands, in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh, by the circumcision which is of Christ:

being buried with Him in baptism, wherein also ye are raised together with Him, through faith in the power of God, who raised Him from the dead.

When Christ, who is your life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with Him in glory.

All things concerning me will Tychicus make known to you, who is a beloved brother, and faithful minister, and fellow-servant in the Lord:

whom I have sent to you for this purpose also that he may know your affairs, and comfort your hearts;

together with Onesimus a faithful and beloved brother, who is one of you. They will inform you of all things here.

Aristarchus my fellow-prisoner saluteth you, and Marcus nephew to Barnabas, concerning whom ye have received orders; (if he come to you, receive him;) and Jesus who is called Justus:

these are the only persons, who, of the circumcision, have been my fellow-laborers in the kingdom of God, and who were a comfort to me.

Epaphras, who is one of you, a servant of Christ, saluteth you; who always strives earnestly for you in his prayers, that ye may stand perfect and complete in all the will of God:
