Colossians 1: 29 To this end I strenuously
contend with all the energy Christ so powerfully works in me. (2)
258
25 I
have become its servant by the commission GOD gave me to present to you the
Word of GOD in its fullness—
(7)
26 the mystery that
has been kept hidden for ages and generations, but is now disclosed to the
Lord’s people.
27 To them GOD has chosen to make
known among the Gentiles the glorious riches of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of Glory.
369
16 For in Him(Jesus) all things were created: things in heaven and on
earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or
authorities; all things have been created through him and for him. (7)
17 He is before all things, and in Him all things hold
together.
18 And He is the head of the body, the church; He is
the beginning and the firstborn from among the dead, so that in everything He
might have the Supremacy.
369
7 You
learned it from Epaphras, our dear fellow servant, who is a faithful minister
of Christ on our behalf,
(7)
8 and who also told
us of your love in the Spirit.
9 For this reason,
since the day we heard about you, we have not stopped praying for you. We
continually ask GOD to fill you with the knowledge of His will through all the
wisdom and understanding that the Spirit gives,
369
22 But
now He has reconciled you by Christ’s physical body through death to present you Holy in His sight,
without blemish and free from accusation—
(4)
23 if you continue in
your faith, established and firm, and do not move from the hope held out in the
gospel. This is the gospel that you heard and that has been proclaimed to every
creature under heaven, and of which I, Paul, have become a servant.
Paul’s Labor for
the Church
24 Now I rejoice in what I am suffering for you, and I
fill up in my flesh what is still lacking in regard to Christ’s afflictions, for the sake of His Body, which is the Church.
369
13 For He has rescued us from the
dominion of darkness and brought us into the Kingdom of the Son He loves, (4)
14 in whom we have redemption,
the forgiveness of sins.
The Supremacy of
the Son of God
15 The Son is the image of the invisible GOD, the Firstborn
over all creation.
369
4 because
we have heard of your faith in Christ
Jesus and of the love you have for all GOD’s people— (4)
5 the faith and love
that spring from the hope stored up for you in heaven and about which you have
already heard in the true message of the gospel
6 that has come to you. In the same way, the gospel is
bearing fruit and growing throughout the whole worl GOD’s Grace.
369
28 He(Jesus) is the One we
proclaim, admonishing and teaching everyone with all wisdom, so that we may
present everyone fully mature in Christ. (1)
147
19 For
GOD(Father) was pleased to have all His(Father) fullness dwell in
Him(Jesus),
(1)
20 and through Him to reconcile to Himself all things,
whether things on earth or things in heaven, by making peace through His blood,
shed on the Cross.
21 Once you were
alienated from GOD and were enemies in your minds because of your
evil behavior.
138
10 so
that you may live a life worthy of the Lord and please him in every way:
bearing fruit in every good work, growing in the knowledge of God, (1)
11 being strengthened with all power according to His glorious
might so that you may have great endurance and patience,
12 and giving joyful thanks to the Father, who has
qualified you to share in the inheritance of His Holy people in the
Kingdom of Light.
138
1 Paul, an apostle of
Christ Jesus by the will of GOD,
and Timothy our brother,
(1)
2 To GOD’s holy
people in Colossae, the faithful brothers and sisters in Christ: Grace and Peace to you from GOD our Father.
Thanksgiving and
Prayer
3 We always thank GOD, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, when we pray for you,
