Colossians - Chapter: 1


1:1	Paul an Apostle of Iesus Christ, by ye will of God, and Timotheus our brother,
1:2	To the saints and faithfull brethren in Christ, which are at Colosse, grace be vnto you, and peace from God our Father, and the Lord Iesus Christ.
1:3	We giue thanks to God, and the Father of our Lord Iesus Christ, praying alwayes for you,
1:4	Since we heard of your faith in Christ Iesus, and of the loue which yee haue to all the Saints,
1:5	For the hope which is layd vp for you in heauen, whereof ye heard before in the word of the trueth of the Gospel,
1:6	Which is come vnto you as it is in all the world, and bringeth foorth fruit, as it doth also in you, since the day yee heard of it, and knew the grace of God in trueth,
1:7	As yee also learned of Epaphras our deare felow seruant, who is for you a faithfull Minister of Christ:
1:8	Who also declared vnto vs your loue in the spirit.
1:9	For this cause wee also, since the day we heard it, doe not cease to pray for you, and to desire that ye might be filled with the knowledge of his will, in all wisedome and spirituall vnderstanding:
1:10	That ye might walke worthy of the Lord vnto all pleasing, being fruitfull in euery good worke, & increasing in the knowledge of God:
1:11	Strengthened with all might according to his glorious power, vnto all patience and long suffering with ioyfulnesse:
1:12	Giuing thanks vnto the Father, which hath made vs meete to be partakers of the inheritance of the Saints in light:
1:13	Who hath deliuered vs from the power of darkenesse, and hath translated vs into the kingdome of his deare Sonne,
1:14	In whom we haue redemption through his blood, euen the forgiuenesse of sinnes:
1:15	Who is the image of the inuisible God, the first borne of euery creature.
1:16	For by him were all things created that are in heauen, and that are in earth, visible and inuisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him.
1:17	And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.
1:18	And hee is the head of the body, the Church: who is the beginning, the first borne from the dead, that in all things he might haue the preeminence:
1:19	For it pleased the Father that in him should all fulnesse dwell,
1:20	And (hauing made peace through the blood of his crosse) by him to reconcile all things vnto himself, by him, I say, whether they bee things in earth, or things in heauen.
1:21	And you that were sometimes alienated, and enemies in your minde by wicked workes, yet now hath hee reconciled,
1:22	In the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy & vnblameable, and vnreprooueable in his sight,
1:23	If ye continue in the faith grounded and setled, and be not moued away from the hope of the Gospel, which yee haue heard, and which was preached to euery creature which is vnder heauen, whereof I Paul am made a Minister.
1:24	Who now reioyce in my sufferings for you, and fill vp that which is behind of the afflictions of Christ in my flesh, for his bodies sake, which is the Church,
1:25	Whereof I am made a Minister, according to the dispensation of God, which is giuen to mee for you, to fulfill the word of God:
1:26	Euen the mystery which hath been hid from ages, and from generations, but now is made manifest to his saints,
1:27	To whom God would make knowen what is the riches of the glory of this mysterie among the Gentiles, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:
1:28	Whom we preach, warning euery man, and teaching euery man in all wisedome, that we may present euery man perfect in Christ Iesus.
1:29	Whereunto I also labour, striuing according to his working, which worketh in me mightily.


1:1	Paul an Apostle of Iesu Christ by the will of God, and brother Timotheus.
1:2	To ye sayntes which are at Colossa and brethren that beleue in Christ. Grace be with you and peace from God oure father & fro the LORDE Iesus Christ.
1:3	We geue thankes vnto God and the father of oure LORDE Iesus Christ, prayenge allwayes for you
1:4	(sence we herde of youre faith in Christ Iesu, and of youre loue to all sayntes)
1:5	for ye hopes sake which is layed vp in stoare for you in heauen: of the which ye haue herde before by the worde of trueth in the Gospell,
1:6	which is come vnto you, eue as it is into all the worlde: and is frutefull, as it is in you, sence ye daye yt ye herde and knewe the grace of God in ye trueth,
1:7	as ye learned of Epaphras oure deare felowe seruaunt, which is a faithfull mynister of Christ for you,
1:8	which also declared vnto vs youre loue in the sprete.
1:9	For this cause we also, sence the daye yt we herde of it, ceasse not to praye for you, & desyre that ye mighte be fulfylled with the knowlege of his will, in all wyssdome and spirituall vnderstondinge,
1:10	that ye mighte walke worthy off the LORDE, to please him in all thinges, and to be frutefull in all good workes, and growe in the knowlege of God:
1:11	& to be strengthed wt all power acordinge to the mighte of his glory, to all pacience and longsufferynge with ioyfulnes,
1:12	and geue thankes vnto the father, which hath made vs mete for the enheritaunce of sayntes in lighte.
1:13	Which hath delyuered vs fro the power of darknesse, & translated vs in to the kyngdome of his deare sonne
1:14	( in whom we haue redempcion thorow his bloude, namely, the forgeuenes of synnes.)
1:15	Which is the ymage of the inuisyble God, first begotte before all creatures.
1:16	For by him were all thinges created, that are in heauen and earth, thinges vysible and thinges inuysible, whether they be maiesties or lordshippes, ether rules or powers: All thinges are created by him and in him,
1:17	and he is before all thinges, and in him all thinges haue their beynge.
1:18	And he is the heade of the body, namely, of the cogregacion: he is the begynnynge and first begotten from the deed, that in all thinges he mighte haue the preemynence.
1:19	For it pleased the father, that in him shulde dwell all fulnesse,
1:20	and that by him all thinges shulde be reconciled vnto himselfe, whether they be thinges vpon earth or in heauen, that thorow the bloude on his crosse he mighte make peace euen thorow his owne selfe.
1:21	And you (which were in tymes past straungers and enemies, because youre myndes were set in euell workes) hath he now reconcyled
1:22	in the body of his flesh thorow death, to make you holy, and vnblameable & with out faute in his awne sighte,
1:23	yf ye contynue grounded and stablished in the faith, and be not moued awaye from ye hope of the Gospell, wherof ye haue herde: which is preached amonge all creatures yt are vnder heauen, wherof I Paul am made a mynister.
1:24	Now ioye I in my sufferynges, which I suffre for you, and fulfill that which is behynde of the passions of Christ in my flesh, for his bodyes sake, which is the congregacion,
1:25	wherof I am made a mynister, acordinge to ye Godly office of preachinge, which is geuen vnto me amonge you, that I shulde richely preach the worde of God,
1:26	namely, that mystery which hath bene hyd sence the worlde beganne, and sence the begynnynge of tymes: but now is opened vnto his sayntes,
1:27	to whom God wolde make knowne the glorious riches of this mistery amoge ye Heythen: which (riches) is Christ in you, eue he that is the hope of glory,
1:28	who we preach, and warne all men, and teach all men in all wyssdome, to make euery man parfecte in Christ Iesu:
1:29	Wherin I also laboure, and stryue acordinge to the workynge of him which worketh mightely in me.


1:1	Poul, apostle of `Crist Jhesu, bi the wille of God,
1:2	and Tymothe, brother, to hem that ben at Colose, hooli and feithful britheren in Crist Jhesu,
1:3	grace and pees to you of God oure fadir and of the Lord Jhesu Crist. We don thankyngis to God, and to the fader of oure Lord Jhesu Crist, euermore preiynge for you, herynge youre feith in Crist Jhesu,
1:4	and the loue that ye han to alle hooli men,
1:5	for the hope that is kept to you in heuenes. Which ye herden in the word of treuthe of the gospel,
1:6	that cam to you, as also it is in al the world, and makith fruyt, and wexith, as in you, fro that dai in which ye herden and knewen the grace of God in treuthe.
1:7	As ye lerneden of Epafras, oure felawe most dereworthe, which is a trewe mynystre of Jhesu Crist for you;
1:8	which also schewide to vs youre louyng in spirit.
1:9	Therfor we fro the dai in which we herden, ceessen not to preye for you, and to axe, that ye be fillid with the knowing of his wille in al wisdom and goostli vndurstondyng;
1:10	that ye walke worthili to God plesynge bi alle thingis, and make fruyt in al good werk, and wexe in the science of God,
1:11	and ben coumfortid in al vertu bi the miyt of his clerenesse, in al pacience and long abiding with ioye,
1:12	that ye do thankyngis to God and to the fadir, which made you worthi in to the part of eritage of hooli men in liyt.
1:13	Which delyueride vs fro the power of derknessis, and translatide in to the kyngdom of the sone of his louyng,
1:14	in whom we han ayenbiyng and remyssioun of synnes.
1:15	Which is the ymage of God vnuysible, the first bigetun of ech creature.
1:16	For in hym alle thingis ben maad, in heuenes and in erthe, visible and vnuysible, ether trones, ether dominaciouns, ether princehodes, ethir poweris, alle thingis ben maad of nouyt bi hym, and in hym,
1:17	and he is bifor alle, and alle thingis ben in hym.
1:18	And he is heed of the bodi of the chirche; which is the bigynnyng and the firste bigetun of deede men, that he holde the firste dignyte in alle thingis.
1:19	For in hym it pleside al plente to inhabite,
1:20	and bi hym alle thingis to be recounselid in to hym, and made pees bi the blood of his cros, tho thingis that ben in erthis, ether that ben in heuenes.
1:21	And whanne ye weren sumtyme aliened, and enemyes bi wit in yuele werkis,
1:22	now he hath recounselid you in the bodi of his fleisch bi deth, to haue you hooli, and vnwemmyd, and with out repreef bifor hym.
1:23	If netheles ye dwellen in the feith, foundid, and stable, and vnmouable fro the hope of the gospel that ye han herd, which is prechid in al creature that is vndur heuene. Of which Y Poul am maad mynystre,
1:24	and now Y haue ioye in passioun for you, and Y fille tho thingis that failen of the passiouns of Crist in my fleisch, for his bodi, that is the chirche.
1:25	Of which Y Poul am maad mynystre bi the dispensacioun of God, that is youun to me in you,
1:26	that Y fille the word of God, the priuyte, that was hid fro worldis and generaciouns. But now it is schewid to his seyntis,
1:27	to whiche God wold make knowun the richessis of the glorie of this sacrament in hethene men, which is Crist in you, the hope of glorie.
1:28	Whom we schewen, repreuynge ech man, and techinge `ech man in al wisdom, that we offre ech man perfit in Crist Jhesu.
1:29	In which thing also Y trauele in stryuynge bi the worching of hym, that he worchith in me in vertu.
