Unchecked Copy BoxCol 1:14 - in whom we have the redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of the sins,
Unchecked Copy BoxCol 1:15 - who is the image of the invisible God, first-born of all creation,
Unchecked Copy BoxCol 1:16 - 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,
Unchecked Copy BoxCol 1:17 - and himself is before all, and the all things in him have consisted.
Unchecked Copy BoxCol 1:18 - 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,

Unchecked Copy BoxCol 1:20 - 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.
Unchecked Copy BoxCol 1:21 - And you -- once being alienated, and enemies in the mind, in the evil works, yet now did he reconcile,
Unchecked Copy BoxCol 1:22 - in the body of his flesh through the death, to present you holy, and unblemished, and unblameable before himself,
Unchecked Copy BoxCol 1:23 - 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.
Unchecked Copy BoxCol 1:24 - 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,
Unchecked Copy BoxCol 1:25 - 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,
Unchecked Copy BoxCol 1:26 - the secret that hath been hid from the ages and from the generations, but now was manifested to his saints,
Unchecked Copy BoxCol 1:27 - 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,
Unchecked Copy BoxCol 1:28 - whom we proclaim, warning every man, and teaching every man, in all wisdom, that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus,
Unchecked Copy BoxCol 1:29 - for which also I labour, striving according to his working that is working in me in power.
