fruit, as also in you, from
the day in
which
ye heard, and knew the grace of God in truth ;
Which is come
unto
you, as it
is
in all the world ;

for you, and to
desire
that ye might

of the Lord to
all pleasing, in every good work being
fruitful
, and increasing to
the knowledge of God ,
That
ye
might
walk
worthy
of the Lord unto
all pleasing, being

of
His glory
, to
all endurance
and long-suffering

Strengthened
with
all might ,
according to his glorious
power
, unto
all patience
and longsuffering
with joyfulness;
Giving thanks to
the Father who
did
make
us meet for
the
participation
of the inheritance of the saints in the
light ,
Giving thanks unto
the Father ,
which
hath
made
us meet to
be
partakers
of the inheritance of the saints in 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,
Who hath
delivered
us from
the power
of darkness, and hath
translated
us into the kingdom
of his dear
Son:
in whom we have the
redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of the
sins ,
In whom we have redemption through his blood, even
the forgiveness of sins :
who is the image of the invisible God, first-born
of all
creation,
Who is the image of the invisible God, the
firstborn
of every
creature:
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
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 himself
is before all, and the
all things in
him
have
consisted
.
And he
is before all things
, and by
him
all things consist
.
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:
who is the
beginning, the firstborn
from
the
dead ;
that in all things he
might
have
the
preeminence.
because
in him it
did
please
all the
fulness to
tabernacle,
For
it
pleased
the
Father
that
in him should
all fulness dwell;
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 ,
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 --
once
being
alienated
, and enemies in the
mind ,
in
the
evil
works, yet now did
he reconcile,
And you, that
were
sometime
alienated
and enemies in your
mind by
wicked
works, yet now hath
he reconciled
in the body of his flesh through the
death, to present you holy ,
and unblemished,
and
unblameable before
himself,
In the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and unblameable and
unreproveable
in
his
sight:
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 ye continue
in the faith grounded
and settled, and be
not moved away from the hope of the gospel
, which ye have
heard, and
which was preached to
every
creature
which
is under heaven ;
whereof
I Paul am
made
a minister;
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,
Who
now rejoice in my sufferings for you, and fill up that
which
is
behind
of the afflictions
of Christ in my flesh for his body's
sake
, 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 ,
Whereof
I am
made
a minister,
according to the dispensation of God which
is
given to me for you, to fulfil the word of God ;
the secret
that
hath been hid from the
ages and from the
generations, but now was
manifested
to his saints ,
Even
the mystery
which
hath been hid from ages and from generations, but now is
made
manifest
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 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 :
whom we proclaim
, warning every man, and teaching every man ,
in all wisdom ,
that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus ,
Whom we preach
, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom ;
that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus :
for
which
also
I labour, striving according to his working that
is
working
in me in
power
.
Whereunto
I also
labour, striving according to his working ,
which
worketh
in me mightily
.
