1PaulG3972, apostleG652 of ChristG5547 JesusG2424, by 1God's will, and Timotheus the brotherG80,

2to the holyG40 and faithfulG4103 brethren in ChristG5547 which [are] in Colosse. GraceG5485 to you and peaceG1515 from 2GodG2316 our FatherG3962 [and Lord Jesus ChristG5547].

3We giveG2168 thanksG2168 to the 3GodG2316 and FatherG3962 of our LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547 continually [when] prayingG4336 for you,

4having heardG191 of your faithG4102 in ChristG5547 JesusG2424, and the loveG26 which ye have towards all the saintsG40,

5on accountG3056 of the hopeG1680 which [is] laid up for you in the heavensG3772; of which ye heard before in the wordG3056 of the truthG225 of the glad tidings,

6which areG1510 come to you, as [they areG1510] in all the worldG2889, [and] areG1510 bearing fruitG2592 and growingG837, evenG2532 as alsoG2532 among you, from the dayG2250 ye heardG191 [them] and knewG1921 indeed the graceG5485 of 4GodG2316, in truthG225:

7even as ye learnedG3129 from EpaphrasG1889 our belovedG27 fellow-bondman, who isG1510 a faithfulG4103 ministerG1249 of ChristG5547 for you,

8who has alsoG2532 manifested to us your loveG26 in [the] SpiritG4151.

9For this reason we alsoG2532, from the dayG2250 we heardG191 [of your faith and love], do not ceaseG3973 prayingG4336 and askingG154 for you, to the end that ye may be filledG4137 with the fullG4137 knowledgeG1922 of his will, in all wisdomG4678 and spiritualG4152 understandingG4907,

10[so as] to walkG4043 worthilyG516 of the LordG2962 unto all well-pleasing, bearing fruitG2592 in every goodG18 workG2041, and growingG837 by the true knowledgeG1922 of 5GodG2316;

11strengthened with all powerG1411 accordingG2596 to the might of his gloryG1391 unto all enduranceG5281 and longsuffering with joyG5479;
