1:1 Paul
an
Apostle
of
Iesus
Christ,
by
ye
will
of
God,
and
Timotheus
our

1:2 To

and
faithfull
brethren
in
Christ,
which
are
at
Colosse,
grace
be
vnto
you,
and
peace
from
God
our
Father,
and
the
Lord
Iesus
Christ.
1:3 We
giue
thanks
to
God,
and
the
Father
of
our
Lord
Iesus
Christ,
praying
alwayes
for
you,
1:4 Since
we
heard
of
your
faith
in
Christ
Iesus,
and
of
the
loue
which
yee
haue
to
all
the
Saints,
1:5 For
the
hope
which
is
layd
vp
for
you
in
heauen,
whereof
ye
heard
before
in
the
word
of
the
trueth
of
the
Gospel,
1:6 Which
is
come
vnto
you
as
it
is
in
all
the
world,
and
bringeth
foorth
fruit,
as
it
doth
also
in
you,
since
the
day
yee
heard
of
it,
and
knew
the
grace
of
God
in
trueth,
1:7 As
yee
also
learned
of
Epaphras
our
deare
felow
seruant,
who
is
for
you
a
faithfull
Minister
of
Christ:
1:8 Who
also
declared
vnto
vs
your
loue
in
the
spirit.
1:9 For
this
cause
wee
also,
since
the
day
we
heard
it,
doe
not
cease
to
pray
for
you,
and
to
desire
that
ye
might
be
filled
with
the
knowledge
of
his
will,
in
all
wisedome
and
spirituall
vnderstanding:
1:10 That
ye
might
walke
worthy
of
the
Lord
vnto
all
pleasing,
being
fruitfull
in
euery
good
worke,
&
increasing
in
the
knowledge
of
God:
1:11 Strengthened
with
all
might
according
to
his
glorious
power,
vnto
all
patience
and
long
suffering
with
ioyfulnesse:
1:12 Giuing
thanks
vnto
the
Father,
which
hath
made
vs
meete
to
be
partakers
of
the
inheritance
of
the
Saints
in
light:
1:13 Who
hath
deliuered
vs
from
the
power
of
darkenesse,
and
hath
translated
vs
into
the
kingdome
of
his
deare
Sonne,
1:14 In
whom
we
haue
redemption
through
his
blood,
euen
the
forgiuenesse
of
sinnes:
1:15 Who
is
the
image
of
the
inuisible
God,
the
first
borne
of
euery
creature.
1:16 For
by
him
were
all
things
created
that
are
in
heauen,
and
that
are
in
earth,
visible
and
inuisible,
whether
they
be
thrones,
or
dominions,
or
principalities,
or
powers:
all
things
were
created
by
him,
and
for
him.
1:17 And
he
is
before
all
things,
and
by
him
all
things
consist.
1:18 And
hee
is
the
head
of
the
body,
the
Church:
who
is
the
beginning,
the
first
borne
from
the
dead,
that
in
all
things
he
might
haue
the
preeminence:
1:19 For
it
pleased
the
Father
that
in
him
should
all
fulnesse
dwell,
1:20 And
(hauing
made
peace
through
the
blood
of
his
crosse)
by
him
to
reconcile
all
things
vnto
himself,
by
him,
I
say,
whether
they
bee
things
in
earth,
or
things
in
heauen.
1:21 And
you
that
were
sometimes
alienated,
and
enemies
in
your
minde
by
wicked
workes,
yet
now
hath
hee
reconciled,
1:22 In
the
body
of
his
flesh
through
death,
to
present
you
holy
&
vnblameable,
and
vnreprooueable
in
his
sight,
1:23 If
ye
continue
in
the
faith
grounded
and
setled,
and
be
not
moued
away
from
the
hope
of
the
Gospel,
which
yee
haue
heard,
and
which
was
preached
to
euery
creature
which
is
vnder
heauen,
whereof
I
Paul
am
made
a
Minister.
1:24 Who
now
reioyce
in
my
sufferings
for
you,
and
fill
vp
that
which
is
behind
of
the
afflictions
of
Christ
in
my
flesh,
for
his
bodies
sake,
which
is
the
Church,
1:25 Whereof
I
am
made
a
Minister,
according
to
the
dispensation
of
God,
which
is
giuen
to
mee
for
you,
to
fulfill
the
word
of
God:
1:26 Euen
the
mystery
which
hath
been
hid
from
ages,
and
from
generations,
but
now
is
made
manifest
to
his
saints,
1:27 To
whom
God
would
make
knowen
what
is
the
riches
of
the
glory
of
this
mysterie
among
the
Gentiles,
which
is
Christ
in
you,
the
hope
of
glory:
1:28 Whom
we
preach,
warning
euery
man,
and
teaching
euery
man
in
all
wisedome,
that
we
may
present
euery
man
perfect
in
Christ
Iesus.
1:29 Whereunto
I
also
labour,
striuing
according
to
his
working,
which
worketh
in
me
mightily.
