00:00.000 --> 00:05.100
The Epistle of Paul the Apostle to the
Colossians, Chapter 1.

00:52.260 --> 00:58.120
As ye also learned of Epiphras,
our dear fellow servant, who is for you a

00:58.120 --> 01:02.900
faithful minister of Christ, who also
declared unto us your love in the Spirit,

01:03.640 --> 01:08.320
for this cause we also, since the day we
heard it, do not cease to pray for you,

01:08.720 --> 01:13.080
and to desire that ye might be filled with
the knowledge of his will in all wisdom

01:13.080 --> 01:18.880
and spiritual understanding, that ye might
walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing,

01:19.360 --> 01:23.760
being fruitful in every good work and
increasing in the knowledge of God,

01:24.700 --> 01:29.960
strengthened with all might according to
his glorious power unto all patience and

01:29.960 --> 01:34.860
long-suffering with joyfulness,
giving thanks unto the Father,

01:35.240 --> 01:39.440
which hath made us meet to be partakers of
the inheritance of the saints in light,

01:40.000 --> 01:44.780
who hath delivered us from the power of
darkness, and hath translated us into the

01:44.780 --> 01:50.680
kingdom of his dear Son, in whom we have
redemption through his blood, even the

01:50.680 --> 01:57.140
forgiveness of sins, who is the image of
the invisible God, the firstborn of every

01:57.140 --> 01:57.600
creature.

01:58.400 --> 02:03.660
For by him were all things created,
that are in heaven, and that are in earth,

02:04.000 --> 02:09.400
visible and invisible, whether they be
thrones, or dominions, or principalities,

02:09.620 --> 02:10.420
or powers.

02:10.940 --> 02:16.400
All things were created by him and for
him, and he is before all things,

02:16.540 --> 02:18.660
and by him all things consist.

02:19.220 --> 02:23.460
And he is the head of the body,
the church, who is the beginning,

02:23.860 --> 02:28.140
the firstborn from the dead, that in all
things he might have the preeminence.

02:28.860 --> 02:33.180
For it pleased the Father that in him
should all fullness dwell.

02:34.320 --> 02:40.100
And having made peace through the blood of
his cross, by him to reconcile all things

02:40.100 --> 02:45.600
unto himself, by him, I say, whether they
be things in earth or things in heaven.

02:46.340 --> 02:51.880
And you, that were sometime alienated,
and enemies in your mind by wicked works,

02:52.200 --> 02:57.660
yet now hath he reconciled, in the body of
his flesh, through death, to present you

02:57.660 --> 03:01.580
holy, and unblameable, and unreprovable in
his sight.

03:02.060 --> 03:07.080
If ye continue in the faith, grounded and
settled, and be not moved away from the

03:07.080 --> 03:11.600
hope of the gospel, which ye have heard,
and which was preached to every creature

03:11.600 --> 03:17.220
which is under heaven, whereof I,
Paul, am made a minister, who now rejoice

03:17.220 --> 03:22.060
in my sufferings for you, and fill up that
which is behind of the afflictions of

03:22.060 --> 03:28.200
Christ in my flesh, for his body's sake,
which is the church, whereof I am made a

03:28.200 --> 03:32.800
minister, according to the dispensation of
God, which is given to me for you,

03:33.080 --> 03:34.700
to fulfill the word of God.

03:35.400 --> 03:41.060
Even the mystery, which hath been hid from
ages, and from generations, but now is

03:41.060 --> 03:47.200
made manifest to his saints, to whom God
would make known what is the riches of the

03:47.200 --> 03:53.140
glory of this mystery among the Gentiles,
which is Christ in you, the hope of glory,

03:53.740 --> 03:59.040
whom we preach, warning every man,
and teaching every man in all wisdom,

03:59.340 --> 04:05.400
that we may present every man perfect in
Christ Jesus, whereunto I also labor,

04:05.760 --> 04:09.780
striving according to his working,
which worketh in me mightily.
