the
love that

we

Giving thanks to the Father who did

meet
for
the
participation
of
the inheritance of the saints in the light ,
giving thanks to the Father ,
who has
qualified
you
to
share
in
the inheritance of the saints in the light .
who
did
rescue
us out
of
the authority
of the
darkness ,
and did
translate
`
us '
into the reign
of
the
Son
of His love
,
He
has
rescued
us from
the dominion
of darkness and brought
us into the kingdom
of His beloved
Son
,
in whom we have the
redemption through
his
blood
, the forgiveness of the
sins ,
in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins .
who
is the image of the invisible God, first-born
of
all creation ,
The
Son
is the image of the invisible God, the
firstborn
over
all creation .
because
in him were
the
all things created, those
in the
heavens,
and those
upon
the
earth, those
visible ,
and those
invisible, whether thrones ,
whether
lordships,
whether
principalities,
whether
authorities ;
all things through him ,
and for him ,
have
been
created,
For
in Him all things were
created, things
in heaven
and on
earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or
dominions
or
rulers
or
authorities .
All things were
created
through Him and for Him .
and
himself
is before all, and the
all
things
in him have
consisted
.
He
is before all things
, and in Him all
things
hold
together
.
And himself
is the head of the body --
the assembly
--
who
is a
beginning ,
a
first-born
out
of
the dead, that he
might
become
in all `
things '
--
himself
--
first,
And He
is the head of the body ,
the church;
He
is the
beginning and
firstborn
from
among
the dead, so
that in all things He
may
have
preeminence.
because
in him it
did
please
all
the
fulness
to
tabernacle
,
For
God
was
pleased
to
have
all
His
fullness
dwell
in Him,
and through him to reconcile the
all
things
to himself --
having
made
peace
through
the
blood
of
his
cross
--
through
him
, whether the
things upon
the
earth ,
whether
the
things in the heavens
.
and through Him to reconcile to Himself all
things
, whether things on
earth or
things in heaven,
by
making
peace
through
the blood
of
His
cross
.
And
you
--
once being
alienated ,
and enemies
in the
mind
, in the
evil works,
yet
now
did
he
reconcile,
Once you
were
alienated from
God
and were
hostile
in your
minds
, engaging
in evil deeds.
in
the
body of
his
flesh
through the
death ,
to present you holy, and
unblemished, and unblameable
before
himself,
But
now
He
has
reconciled
you
by
Christ’s
physical
body through death to present you holy, unblemished, and blameless
in
His
presence—
if also
ye
remain
in the
faith, being
founded
and settled
, and
not moved away
from the hope of the good
news,
which
ye
heard, which was
preached
in
all
the
creation
that
`is'
under the
heaven, of which I became
--
I
Paul --
a ministrant
.
if indeed
you
continue
in your
faith, established
and firm
, not moved from the hope of the gospel
you
heard, which has
been
proclaimed
to
every
creature
under heaven, and
of which I ,
Paul ,
have
become
a servant
.
I
now rejoice in my sufferings for you, and do
fill up the
things
lacking
of
the
tribulations
of
the
Christ
in my flesh for his body, which is the assembly,
Now I
rejoice in my sufferings for you, and I
fill up in my flesh what
is
lacking
in
regard
to
Christ’s
afflictions
for the
sake
of
His body, which is the church.
of
which
I --
I
did
become
a
ministrant
according
to
the dispensation
of
God ,
that
was
given
to
me for
you,
to fulfil
the word of God,
I became
its
servant
by
the commission
God gave
me to fully
proclaim
to
you
the word of God,
the secret
that hath
been
hid
from
the
ages and from
the
generations ,
but now was
manifested
to his saints ,
the mystery
that was
hidden
for
ages and generations but is
now revealed
to His saints .
to whom
God did
will
to make known what
`is'
the riches
of
the glory
of this secret
among
the
nations
--
which is Christ in you, the hope of the
glory ,
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 .
whom
we proclaim ,
warning
every
man
, and teaching every
man,
in
all wisdom, that we may present every
man
perfect in Christ Jesus,
We proclaim Him
, admonishing
and teaching everyone
with
all wisdom, so
that we may present everyone
perfect in Christ .
for
which
also
I labour
, striving according
to
his working
that
is
working in
me in
power
.
To
this
end
I also
labor
, striving with
all
His energy
working powerfully
within
me.
