Colossians 1:1-6 KJV


Colossians 1:1-6 Paul, an apostle of Je'-sus Christ by the will of God, and Ti-mo'-the-us our brother,

To the saints and faithful brethren in Christ which are at Co-los'-se; Grace be unto you, and peace, from God our Father and the Lord Je'-sus Christ.

We give thanks to God and the Father of our Lord Je'-sus Christ, praying always for you.

Since we heard of your faith in Christ Je'-sus, and of the love which ye have to all the saints,

For the hope which is laid up for you in heaven, whereof ye heard before in the word of the truth of the gospel;

Which is come unto you, as it is in all the world; and bringeth forth fruit, as it doth also in you, since the day ye head of it, and knew the grace of God in truth;

1 Corinthians 4:11-21 Even unto this present hour we both hunger, and thirst, and are naked, and are buffeted, and have no certain dwellingplace;

And labour, working with our own hands; being reviled, we bless; being persecuted, we suffer it;

Being defamed, we intreat; we are made as the filth of the world, and are the offscouring of all things unto this day.

I write not these things to shame you, but as my beloved sons I warn you.

For though ye have ten thousand instructors in Christ, yet have ye not many fathers, for in Christ Je'-sus I have begotten you through the gospel.

Wherefore I beseech you, be ye followers of me.

For this cause have I sent unto to you Ti-mo'-the-us, who is my beloved son, and faithful in the Lord, who shall bring you into remembrance of my ways which be in Christ, as I teach every where in every church.

Now some are puffed up, as though I would not come to you.

But I will come to you shortly, if the Lord will, and will know, not the speech of them which are puffed up, but the power.

For the kingdom of God is not in word, but in power.

What will ye? shall I come unto you with a rod, or in love, and in the spirit of meekness?

Galatians 1:3-5 Grace be to you and peace from God the Father, and from our Lord Je'-sus Christ,

Who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us from this present evil world, according to the will of God and our Father;

To whom be glory for ever and ever. A'-men.
