2To the saints and faithful brothers in Christ in Colossae. Grace to you and peace from God our Father.G40G2532G4103G80G1722G5547G1722G2857G5485G5213G2532G1515G575G2316G2257G3962G2532G2962G2424G5547

Thanksgiving

3We always thank God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, when we pray for you,G2168G2316G2532G3962G2257G2962G2424G5547G4336G3842G4012G5216
4for we have heard of your faith in Christ Jesus and of the love you have for all the saintsG191G5216G4102G1722G5547G2424G2532G26G3588G1519G3956G40
5because of the hope reserved for you in heaven. You have already heard about [this hope] in the message of truth,G1223G1680G3588G606G5213G1722G3772G3739G4257G1722G3056G225G2098
6the gospel that has come to you. It is bearing fruit and growing all over the world, just as it has among you since the day you heard it and recognized God's grace in the truth.G3588G3918G1519G5209G2531G2532G1722G3956G2889G2532G2076G2592G2531G2532G1722G5213G575G3739G2250G191G2532G1921G5485G2316G1722G225
7You learned this from Epaphras, our much loved fellow slave. He is a faithful minister of the Messiah on your behalf,G2531G3129G2532G3129G575G1889G2257G27G4889G3739G2076G5228G5216G4103G1249G5547
8and he has told us about your love in the Spirit.G3588G2532G1213G2254G5216G26G1722G4151

Prayer for Spiritual Growth

9For this reason also, since the day we heard this, we haven't stopped praying for you. We are asking that you may be filled with the knowledge of His will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding,G1223G5124G2249G2532G575G3739G2250G191G3973G3756G3973G4336G5228G5216G2532G154G2443G4137G1922G846G2307G1722G3956G4678G2532G4152G4907
10so that you may walk worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing [to Him], bearing fruit in every good work and growing in the knowledge of God.G5209G4043G516G2962G1519G3956G699G2592G1722G3956G18G2041G2532G837G1519G1922G2316
11May you be strengthened with all power, according to His glorious might, for all endurance and patience, with joyG1412G1722G3956G1411G2596G846G1391G2904G1519G3956G5281G2532G3115G3326G5479
12giving thanks to the Father, who has enabled you to share in the saints' inheritance in the light.G2168G3962G3588G2427G2248G2427G1519G3310G2819G40G1722G5457
13He has rescued us from the domain of darkness and transferred us into the kingdom of the Son He loves,G3739G4506G2248G1537G1849G4655G2532G3179G1519G932G846G26G5207
14in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.G1722G3739G2192G629G1223G846G129G859G266

The Centrality of Christ

15He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation;G3739G2076G1504G517G2316G4416G3956G2937
16because by Him everything was created, in heaven and on earth, the visible and the invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities— all things have been created through Him and for Him.G3754G1722G846G2936G3956G2936G1722G3772G2532G1909G1093G3707G2532G517G1535G2362G1535G2963G1535G746G1535G1849G3956G2936G1223G846G2532G1519G846
17He is before all things, and by Him all things hold together.G2532G846G2076G4253G3956G2532G1722G846G3956G4921
18He is also the head of the body, the church; He is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, so that He might come to have first place in everything.G2532G846G2076G2776G4983G1577G3739G2076G746G4416G1537G3498G2443G1722G3956G846G1096G4409
19For God was pleased [to have] all His fullness dwell in Him,G2106G3754G1722G846G2730G3956G4138G2730
20and through Him to reconcile everything to Himself by making peace through the blood of His cross— whether things on earth or things in heaven.G2532G1517G1223G129G846G4716G1223G846G604G3956G1519G846G1223G846G1535G1909G1093G1535G1722G3772
21And you were once alienated and hostile in mind because of your evil actions.G2532G5209G5607G4218G526G2532G2190G1271G1722G4190G2041G1161G3570G604
22But now He has reconciled you by His physical body through His death, to present you holy, faultless, and blameless before Him—G1722G4983G846G4561G1223G2288G3936G5209G40G2532G299G2532G410G846G2714
23if indeed you remain grounded and steadfast in the faith, and are not shifted away from the hope of the gospel that you heard. [This gospel] has been proclaimed in all creation under heaven, and I, Paul, have become a minister of it.G1489G1961G4102G2311G2532G1476G2532G3361G3334G575G1680G2098G3739G191G3588G2784G1722G3956G2937G5259G3772G3739G1473G3972G1096G1249

Paul’s Ministry

24Now I rejoice in my sufferings for you, and I am completing in my flesh what is lacking in Christ's afflictions for His body, that is, the church.G3739G3568G5463G1722G3450G3804G5228G5216G2532G466G5303G2347G5547G1722G3450G4561G5228G846G4983G5228G3603G1577
25I have become its minister, according to God's administration that was given to me for you, to make God's message fully known,G3739G1473G1096G1249G2596G3622G2316G3588G1325G3427G1519G5209G4137G3056G2316
26the mystery hidden for ages and generations but now revealed to His saints.G3466G3588G613G575G165G2532G575G1074G1161G3570G5319G846G40
27God wanted to make known to those among the Gentiles the glorious wealth of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.G3739G2316G2309G1107G5101G4149G1391G5127G3466G1722G1484G3739G2076G5547G1722G5213G1680G1391
28We proclaim Him, warning and teaching everyone with all wisdom, so that we may present everyone mature in Christ.G3739G2249G2605G3560G3956G444G2532G1321G3956G444G1722G3956G4678G2443G3936G3956G444G5046G1722G5547G2424
29I labor for this, striving with His strength that works powerfully in me.G1519G3739G2872G2532G2872G75G2596G846G1753G3588G1754G1722G1698G1722G1411
