We do not cease to pray for you, that you might be filled with the knowledge of his will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding
That you might walk worthy of the Lord, all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God
Strengthened with all might, according to his glorious power to all patience and long suffering with joy
Giving thanks to the Father, who has made us fit to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light
Who has delivered us from the power of darkness, and translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son
In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins
Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature
For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers
All things were created by him, and for him
And he is before all things, and by him all things consist (are held together)
And he is the head of the body, the church
Who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead
That in all things He might have the preeminence
For it pleased the Father that in him should all fulness dwell
And, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto himself
by him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven
And you, that were alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now has He reconciled
In the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and unblameable and unreproveable in his sight
To fulfill the word of God, the mystery which has been hidden from ages and from generations, but now is shown to his saints
To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory Colossians 1
