Greeting

Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and Timothy our brother,

To the saints and faithful brethren in Christ who are in Colosse: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

Their Faith in Christ

We give thanks to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, praying always for you,

since we heard of your faith in Christ Jesus and of your love for all the saints;

Him we preach, warning every man and teaching every man in all wisdom, that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus.

As you therefore have received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in Him,

And whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him.

and Jesus who is called Justus. These are my only fellow workers for the kingdom of God who are of the circumcision; they have proved to be a comfort to me.
