 to ,god and the ,father of our ,lord   
,jesus ,christ1             praying     
always for you1    #ea3jja3jjd ,since we
 heard of your faith in ,christ ,jesus1 
and of the love             which ye    
have to all the saints1    #ea3jja3jje  
,for the hope which is laid up for you  
in heaven1 whereof ye             heard 
before in the word of the truth of the  
gospel2    #ea3jja3jjf ,which is come   
unto you1 as it is in all the world2 and

             bringeth forth fruit1 as it
 doth also in you1 since the day ye     
heard of it1 and knew the grace of ,god 
in truth3    #ea3jja3jjg ,as ye also    
learned of ,epaphras our dear           
fellowservant1 who is             for   
you a faithful minister of ,christ2     
#ea3jja3jjh ,who also declared unto us  
your love in the ,spirit4    #ea3jja3jji
 ,for this cause we also1 since the day 
we heard it1 do not             cease to
 pray for you1 and to desire that ye    
might be filled             with the    
knowledge of his will in all wisdom and 
spiritual             understanding2    
#ea3jja3jaj ,that ye might walk worthy  
of the ,lord unto all pleasing1 being   
fruitful in every good work1 and        
increasing in the knowledge             
of ,god2    #ea3jja3jaa ,strengthened   
with all might1 according to his        
glorious power1             unto all    
patience and longsuffering with         
joyfulness2    #ea3jja3jab ,giving      
thanks unto the ,father1 which hath made

 us meet to be             partakers of 
the inheritance of the saints in light3 
#ea3jja3jac ,who hath delivered us from 
the power of darkness1 and hath         
translated us into the kingdom of his   
dear ,son3    #ea3jja3jad ,in whom we   
have redemption through his blood1 even 
the             forgiveness of sins3    
#ea3jja3jae ,who is the image of the    
invisible ,god1 the firstborn of every  
creature3    #ea3jja3jaf ,for by him    
were all things created1 that are in    
heaven1 and             that are in     
earth1 visible and invisible1 whether   
they be             thrones1 or         
dominions1 or principalities1 or powers3
 all             things were created by 
him1 and for him3    #ea3jja3jag ,and he
 is before all things1 and by him all   
things consist4    #ea3jja3jah ,and he  
is the head of the body1 the church3 who
 is the             beginning1 the      
firstborn from the dead2 that in all    
things he             might have the    
preeminence4    #ea3jja3jai ,for it     

pleased the ,father that in him should  
all fulness             dwell2          
#ea3jja3jbj ,and1 having made peace     
through the blood of his cross1 by him  
to reconcile all things unto himself2 by
 him1 ,i say1 whether             they  
be things in earth1 or things in heaven4
    #ea3jja3jba ,and you1 that were     
sometime alienated and enemies in your  
mind             by wicked works1 yet   
now hath he reconciled    #ea3jja3jbb   
,in the body of his flesh through death1
 to present you holy             and    
unblameable and unreproveable in his    
sight3    #ea3jja3jbc ,if ye continue in
 the faith grounded and settled1 and be 
not             moved away from the hope
 of the gospel1 which ye have heard1    
and which was preached to every creature
 which is under             heaven2     
whereof ,i ,paul am made a minister2    
#ea3jja3jbd ,who now rejoice in my      
sufferings for you1 and fill up that    
which is behind of the afflictions of   
,christ in my flesh for             his 

body's sake1 which is the church3       
#ea3jja3jbe ,whereof ,i am made a       
minister1 according to the dispensation 
of             ,god which is given to me
 for you1 to fulfil the word of ,god2   
#ea3jja3jbf ,even the mystery which hath
 been hid from ages and from            
generations1 but now is made manifest to
 his saints3    #ea3jja3jbg ,to whom    
,god would make known what is the riches
 of the glory             of this       
mystery among the ,gentiles2 which is   
,christ in you1             the hope of 
glory3    #ea3jja3jbh ,whom we preach1  
warning every man1 and teaching every   
man in             all wisdom2 that we  
may present every man perfect in ,christ
             ,jesus3    #ea3jja3jbi     
,whereunto ,i also labour1 striving     
according to his working1               
which worketh in me mightily4           
#ea3jjb3jja ,for ,i would that ye knew  
what great conflict ,i have for you1    
and for them at ,laodicea1 and for as   
many as have not seen my                

face in the flesh2    #ea3jjb3jjb ,that 
their hearts might be comforted1 being  
knit together in             love1 and  
unto all riches of the full assurance of
             understanding1 to the      
acknowledgement of the mystery of ,god1 
and of the ,father1 and of ,christ2     
#ea3jjb3jjc ,in whom are hid all the    
treasures of wisdom and knowledge4      
#ea3jjb3jjd ,and this ,i say1 lest any  
man should beguile you with enticing    
words4    #ea3jjb3jje ,for though ,i be 
absent in the flesh1 yet am ,i with you 
in the             spirit1 joying and   
beholding your order1 and the           
stedfastness             of your faith  
in ,christ4    #ea3jjb3jjf ,as ye have  
therefore received ,christ ,jesus the   
,lord1 so walk             ye in him3   
#ea3jjb3jjg ,rooted and built up in him1
 and stablished in the faith1 as ye     
have been taught1 abounding therein with
 thanksgiving4    #ea3jjb3jjh ,beware   
lest any man spoil you through          
philosophy and vain             deceit1 

after the tradition of men1 after the   
rudiments of the             world1 and 
not after ,christ4    #ea3jjb3jji ,for  
in him dwelleth all the fulness of the  
,godhead bodily4    #ea3jjb3jaj ,and ye 
are complete in him1 which is the head  
of all             principality and     
power3    #ea3jjb3jaa ,in whom also ye  
are circumcised with the circumcision   
made             without hands1 in      
putting off the body of the sins of the 
flesh by the circumcision of ,christ3   
#ea3jjb3jab ,buried with him in baptism1
 wherein also ye are risen with him     
through the faith of the operation of   
,god1 who hath raised him               
from the dead4    #ea3jjb3jac ,and you1 
being dead in your sins and the         
uncircumcision of             your      
flesh1 hath he quickened together with  
him1 having             forgiven you all
 trespasses2    #ea3jjb3jad ,blotting   
out the handwriting of ordinances that  
was against             us1 which was   
contrary to us1 and took it out of the  

way1             nailing it to his      
cross2    #ea3jjb3jae ,and having       
spoiled principalities and powers1 he   
made a shew             of them openly1 
triumphing over them in it4             
#ea3jjb3jaf ,let no man therefore judge 
you in meat1 or in drink1 or in         
respect of an holyday1 or of the new    
moon1 or of the sabbath                 
days3    #ea3jjb3jag ,which are a shadow
 of things to come2 but the body is of  
,christ4    #ea3jjb3jah ,let no man     
beguile you of your reward in a         
voluntary humility             and      
worshipping of angels1 intruding into   
those things which             he hath  
not seen1 vainly puffed up by his       
fleshly mind1    #ea3jjb3jai ,and not   
holding the ,head1 from which all the   
body by joints             and bands    
having nourishment ministered1 and knit 
together1             increaseth with   
the increase of ,god4    #ea3jjb3jbj    
,wherefore if ye be dead with ,christ   
from the rudiments of the               

world1 why1 as though living in the     
world1 are ye subject to                
ordinances1    #ea3jjb3jba 7,touch not2 
taste not2 handle not2    #ea3jjb3jbb   
,which all are to perish with the       
using27 after the                       
commandments and doctrines of men8      
#ea3jjb3jbc ,which things have indeed a 
shew of wisdom in will worship1 and     
humility1 and neglecting of the body3   
not in any honour to the                
satisfying of the flesh4    #ea3jjc3jja 
,if ye then be risen with ,christ1 seek 
those things which are                  
above1 where ,christ sitteth on the     
right hand of ,god4    #ea3jjc3jjb ,set 
your affection on things above1 not on  
things on the             earth4        
#ea3jjc3jjc ,for ye are dead1 and your  
life is hid with ,christ in ,god4       
#ea3jjc3jjd ,when ,christ1 who is our   
life1 shall appear1 then shall ye also  
appear with him in glory4    #ea3jjc3jje
 ,mortify therefore your members which  
are upon the earth2                     

fornication1 uncleanness1 inordinate    
affection1 evil                         
concupiscence1 and covetousness1 which  
is idolatry3    #ea3jjc3jjf ,for which  
things' sake the wrath of ,god cometh on
 the children             of            
disobedience3    #ea3jjc3jjg ,in the    
which ye also walked some time1 when ye 
lived in them4    #ea3jjc3jjh ,but now  
ye also put off all these2 anger1 wrath1
 malice1             blasphemy1 filthy  
communication out of your mouth4        
#ea3jjc3jji ,lie not one to another1    
seeing that ye have put off the old     
man with his deeds2    #ea3jjc3jaj ,and 
have put on the new man1 which is       
renewed in knowledge             after  
the image of him that created him3      
#ea3jjc3jaa ,where there is neither     
,greek nor ,jew1 circumcision nor       
uncircumcision1 ,barbarian1 ,scythian1  
bond nor free3 but ,christ              
is all1 and in all4    #ea3jjc3jab ,put 
on therefore1 as the elect of ,god1 holy
 and beloved1             bowels of     

mercies1 kindness1 humbleness of mind1  
meekness1             longsuffering2    
#ea3jjc3jac ,forbearing one another1 and
 forgiving one another1 if any man      
have a quarrel against any3 even as     
,christ forgave you1 so             also
 do ye4    #ea3jjc3jad ,and above all   
these things put on charity1 which is   
the bond             of perfectness4    
#ea3jjc3jae ,and let the peace of ,god  
rule in your hearts1 to the which       
also ye are called in one body2 and be  
ye thankful4    #ea3jjc3jaf ,let the    
word of ,christ dwell in you richly in  
all wisdom2             teaching and    
admonishing one another in psalms and   
hymns and             spiritual songs1  
singing with grace in your hearts to the
             ,lord4    #ea3jjc3jag ,and 
whatsoever ye do in word or deed1 do all

 they be             discouraged4

things your masters according to the    
flesh2 not with eyeservice1 as          
menpleasers2 but in singleness          
of heart1 fearing ,god2    #ea3jjc3jbc  
,and whatsoever ye do1 do it heartily1  
as to the ,lord1 and not                
unto men2    #ea3jjc3jbd ,knowing that  
of the ,lord ye shall receive the reward
 of the             inheritance3 for ye 
serve the ,lord ,christ4    #ea3jjc3jbe 
,but he that doeth wrong shall receive  
for the wrong which he             hath 
done3 and there is no respect of

unto your servants that which is just
