in your evil works,
001:022 yet now he has reconciled in the body of his flesh through death,
to present you holy and without blemish and blameless before him,
001:023 if it is so that you continue in the faith, grounded and steadfast,
and not moved away from the hope of the Good News which you heard,
which is being proclaimed in all creation under heaven;
of which I, Paul, was made a servant.
001:024 Now I rejoice in my sufferings for your sake, and fill up
on my part that which is lacking of the afflictions of Christ
in my flesh for his body's sake, which is the assembly;
001:025 of which I was made a servant, according to the stewardship of God
which was given me toward you, to fulfill the word of God,
001:026 the mystery which has been hidden for ages and generations.
But now it has been revealed to his saints,
001:027 to whom God was pleased to make known what are the riches
of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles, which is
Christ in you, the hope of glory;
001:028 whom we proclaim, admonishing every man and teaching every
man in all wisdom, that we may present every man perfect
in Christ Jesus;
001:029 for which I also labor, striving according to his working,
which works in me mightily.
002:001 For I desire to have you know how greatly I struggle for you,
and for those at Laodicea, and for as many as have not seen
my face in the flesh;
002:002 that their hearts may be comforted, they being knit together
in love, and gaining all riches of the full assurance
of understanding, that they may know the mystery of God,
both of the Father and of Christ,
002:003 in whom are all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge hidden.
002:004 Now this I say that no one may delude you with persuasiveness
of speech.
002:005 For though I am absent in the flesh, yet am I with you in the spirit,
rejoicing and seeing your order, and the steadfastness of your
faith in Christ.
002:006 As therefore you received Christ Jesus, the Lord, walk in him,
002:007 rooted and built up in him, and established in the faith,
even as you were taught, abounding in it in thanksgiving.
002:008 Be careful that you don't let anyone rob you through his
philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men,
after the elements of the world, and not after Christ.
002:009 For in him all the fullness of the Godhead dwells bodily,
002:010 and in him you are made full, who is the head of all
principality and power;
002:011 in whom you were also circumcised with a circumcision not
made with hands, in the putting off of the body of the sins
of the flesh, in the circumcision of Christ;
002:012 having been buried with him in baptism, in which you were
also raised with him through faith in the working of God,
who raised him from the dead.
