1 Sha'ul, an apostle of Messiah Yeshua through the will of God, and Timothy our brother,

2 To the holy ones and faithful brothers in Messiah [who are] at Colossae: Grace to you and shalom from God, our Father, and the Lord, Yeshua the Messiah.

3 We give thanks to God, the Father of our Lord, Yeshua the Messiah, praying always for you,

4 having heard of your faith in Messiah Yeshua, and of the love which you have toward all the holy ones,

5 because of the hope which is laid up for you in the heavens, whereof you heard before in the word of the truth of the Good News,

6 which has come to you; even as it is in all the world and is bearing fruit and increasing, as it does in you also, since the day you heard and knew the grace of God in truth;

7 even as you learned of Epaphras our beloved fellow-servant, who is a faithful minister of Messiah on our behalf,

8 who also declared to us your love in the Spirit.

9 For this cause, we also, since the day we heard this, don't cease praying and making requests for you, that you may be filled with the knowledge of his will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding,

10 that you may walk worthily of the Lord, to please him in all respects, bearing fruit in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God;

11 strengthened with all power, according to the might of his glory, to all patience and perseverance with joy;

12 giving thanks to the Father, who made us fit to be partakers of the inheritance of the holy ones in light;

13 who delivered us out of the power of darkness, and translated us into the kingdom of the Son of his love;

14 in whom we have our redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our sins;

15 who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation.

16 For by him were all things created, in the heavens and on the eretz, things visible and things invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers; all things have been created through him, and to him.

17 He is before all things, and in him all things are held together.

18 He is the head of the body, the assembly, who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence.

19 For all the fullness was pleased to dwell in him;

20 and through him to reconcile all things to himself, having made shalom through the blood of his cross. Through him, I say, whether things on the eretz, or things in the heavens.

21 You, being in past times alienated and enemies in your mind in your evil works,

22 yet now he has reconciled in the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and without blemish and blameless before him,

23 if it is so that you continue in the faith, grounded and steadfast, and not moved away from the hope of the Good News which you heard, which is being proclaimed in all creation under heaven; of which I, Sha'ul, was made a servant.

24 Now I rejoice in my sufferings for your sake, and fill up on my part that which is lacking of the afflictions of Messiah in my flesh for his body's sake, which is the assembly;

25 of which I was made a servant, according to the stewardship of God which was given me toward you, to fulfill the word of God,

26 the mystery which has been hidden for ages and generations. But now it has been revealed to his holy ones,

27 to whom God was pleased to make known what are the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Goyim, which is Messiah in you, the hope of glory;

28 whom we proclaim, admonishing every man and teaching every man in all wisdom, that we may present every man perfect in Messiah Yeshua;

29 for which I also labor, striving according to his working, which works in me mightily.
