| 1:1 | Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and Timotheus our brother, |
| 1:2 | To the saints and faithful brethren in Christ which are at Colosse: Grace be unto you, and peace, from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. |
| 1:3 | We give thanks to God and the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, praying always for you, |
| 1:4 | Since we heard of your faith in Christ Jesus, and of the love which ye have to all the saints, |
| 1:5 | For the hope which is laid up for you in heaven, whereof ye heard before in the word of the truth of the gospel; |
| 1:6 | 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 heard of it, and knew the grace of God in truth: |
| 1:7 | As ye also learned of Epaphras our dear fellowservant, who is for you a faithful minister of Christ; |
| 1:8 | Who also declared unto us your love in the Spirit. |
| 1:9 | For this cause we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to desire that ye might be filled with the knowledge of his will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding; |
| 1:10 | That ye might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God; |
| 1:11 | Strengthened with all might, according to his glorious power, unto all patience and longsuffering with joyfulness; |
| 1:12 | Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light: |
| 1:12 | 又感謝父、叫我們能與眾聖徒在光明中同得基業． |
| 1:12 | 又感谢父，叫我们能与众圣徒在光明中同得基业。 |
| eph:5:20 | Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ; |
| col:2:7 | Rooted and built up in him, and stablished in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving. |
| col:3:15 | And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful. |
| col:3:17 | And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him. |
| act:26:18 | To open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me. |
| act:26:23 | That Christ should suffer, and that he should be the first that should rise from the dead, and should shew light unto the people, and to the Gentiles. |
| eph:5:8 | For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light: |
| act:20:32 | And now, brethren, I commend you to God, and to the word of his grace, which is able to build you up, and to give you an inheritance among all them which are sanctified. |
| eph:1:11 | In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will: |
| eph:1:14 | Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory. |
| eph:1:18 | The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints, |
| COBL | |
| 1:13 | Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son: |
| 1:14 | In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins: |
| 1:15 | Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature: |
| 1:16 | For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, 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 he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence. |
| 1:19 | For it pleased the Father that in him should all fulness dwell; |
| 1:20 | And, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto himself; by him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven. |
| 1:21 | And you, that were sometime alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now hath he reconciled |
| 1:22 | In the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and unblameable and unreproveable in his sight: |
| 1:23 | If ye continue in the faith grounded and settled, and be not moved away from the hope of the gospel, which ye have heard, and which was preached to every creature which is under heaven; whereof I Paul am made a minister; |
| 1:24 | Who now rejoice in my sufferings for you, and fill up that which is behind of the afflictions of Christ in my flesh for his body's sake, which is the church: |
| 1:25 | Whereof I am made a minister, according to the dispensation of God which is given to me for you, to fulfil the word of God; |
| 1:26 | Even 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 known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory: |
| 1:28 | Whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom; that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus: |
| 1:29 | Whereunto I also labour, striving according to his working, which worketh in me mightily. |
