and

peace
<1515>_,

from

God

We give thanks

<2532>

the Father
<3962>

of our

Christ
<5547>_,

praying
<4336> (5740)

always
<3842>

for
<4012>

you
<5216>_,

1:4

Since we heard
<191> (5660)

of your
<5216>

faith
<4102>

in
<1722>

Christ
<5547>

Jesus
<2424>_,

and
<2532>

of the love
<26>

[which
<3588>

ye have] to
<1519>

all
<3956>

the saints
<40>_,

1:5

For
<1223>

the hope
<1680>

which
<3588>

is laid up
<606> (5740)

for you
<5213>

in
<1722>

heaven
<3772>_,

whereof
<3739>

ye heard before
<4257> (5656)

in
<1722>

the word
<3056>

of the truth
<225>

of the gospel
<2098>_;

1:6

Which
<3588>

is come
<3918> (5752)

unto
<1519>

you
<5209>_,

as
<2531> <2532>

[it is] in
<1722>

all
<3956>

the world
<2889>_;

and
<2532>

bringeth forth fruit
<2076> (5748) <2592> (5734)_,

as
<2531>

[it doth] also
<2532>

in
<1722>

you
<5213>_,

since
<575>

the
<3739>

day
<2250>

ye heard
<191> (5656)

[of it], and
<2532>

knew
<1921> (5627)

the grace
<5485>

of God
<2316>

in
<1722>

truth
<225>_:

1:7

As
<2531>

ye
<3129> (0)

also
<2532>

learned
<3129> (5627)

of
<575>

Epaphras
<1889>

our
<2257>

dear
<27>

fellowservant
<4889>_,

who
<3739>

is
<2076> (5748)

for
<5228>

you
<5216>

a faithful
<4103>

minister
<1249>

of Christ
<5547>_;

1:8

Who
<3588>

also
<2532>

declared
<1213> (5660)

unto us
<2254>

your
<5216>

love
<26>

in
<1722>

the Spirit
<4151>_.

1:9

For
<1223>

this cause
<5124>

we
<2249>

also
<2532>_,

since
<575>

the
<3739>

day
<2250>

we heard
<191> (5656)

[it], do
<3973> (0)

not
<3756>

cease
<3973> (5731)

to pray
<4336> (5740)

for
<5228>

you
<5216>_,

and
<2532>

to desire
<154> (5734)

that
<2443>

ye might be filled
<4137> (5686)

with the knowledge
<1922>

of his
<846>

will
<2307>

in
<1722>

all
<3956>

wisdom
<4678>

and
<2532>

spiritual
<4152>

understanding
<4907>_;

1:10

That ye
<5209>

might walk
<4043> (5658)

worthy
<516>

of the Lord
<2962>

unto
<1519>

all
<3956>

pleasing
<699>_,

being fruitful
<2592> (5723)

in
<1722>

every
<3956>

good
<18>

work
<2041>_,

and
<2532>

increasing
<837> (5746)

in
<1519>

the knowledge
<1922>

of God
<2316>_;

1:11

Strengthened
<1412> (5746)

with
<1722>

all
<3956>

might
<1411>_,

according to
<2596>

his
<846>

glorious
<1391>

power
<2904>_,

unto
<1519>

all
<3956>

patience
<5281>

and
<2532>

longsuffering
<3115>

with
<3326>

joyfulness
<5479>_;

1:12

Giving thanks
<2168> (5723)

unto the Father
<3962>_,

which
<3588>

hath made
<2427> (0)

us
<2248>

meet
<2427> (5660)

to
<1519>

be partakers
<3310>

of the inheritance
<2819>

of the saints
<40>

in
<1722>

light
<5457>_:

1:13

Who
<3739>

hath delivered
<4506> (5673)

us
<2248>

from
<1537>

the power
<1849>

of darkness
<4655>_,

and
<2532>

hath translated
<3179> (5656)

[us] into
<1519>

the kingdom
<932>

of his
<846>

dear
<26>

Son
<5207>_:

{his...: Gr. the Son of his love}

1:14

In
<1722>

whom
<3739>

we have
<2192> (5719)

redemption
<629>

through
<1223>

his
<846>

blood
<129>_,

[even] the forgiveness
<859>

of sins
<266>_:

1:15

Who
<3739>

is
<2076> (5748)

the image
<1504>

of the invisible
<517>

God
<2316>_,

the firstborn
<4416>

of every
<3956>

creature
<2937>_:

1:16

For
<3754>

by
<1722>

him
<846>

were
<2936> (0)

all things
<3956>

created
<2936> (5681)_,

that are in
<1722>

heaven
<3772>_,

and
<2532>

that are in
<1909>

earth
<1093>_,

visible
<3707>

and
<2532>

invisible
<517>_,

whether
<1535>

[they be] thrones
<2362>_,

or
<1535>

dominions
<2963>_,

or
<1535>

principalities
<746>_,

or
<1535>

powers
<1849>_:

all things
<3956>

were created
<2936> (5769)

by
<1223>

him
<846>_,

and
<2532>

for
<1519>

him
<846>_:

1:17

And
<2532>

he
<846>

is
<2076> (5748)

before
<4253>

all things
<3956>_,

and
<2532>

by
<1722>

him
<846>

all things
<3956>

consist
<4921> (5758)_.

1:18

And
<2532>

he
<846>

is
<2076> (5748)

the head
<2776>

of the body
<4983>_,

the church
<1577>_:

who
<3739>

is
<2076> (5748)

the beginning
<746>_,

the firstborn
<4416>

from
<1537>

the dead
<3498>_;

that
<2443>

in
<1722>

all
<3956>

[things] he
<846>

might have
<1096> (5638)

the preeminence
<4409> (5723)_.

{in...: or, among all}

1:19

For it pleased
<2106> (5656)

[the Father] that
<3754>

in
<1722>

him
<846>

should
<2730> (0)

all
<3956>

fulness
<4138>

dwell
<2730> (5658)_;

1:20

And
<2532>_,

having made peace
<1517> (5660)

through
<1223>

the blood
<129>

of his
<846>

cross
<4716>_,

by
<1223>

him
<846>

to reconcile
<604> (5658)

all things
<3956>

unto
<1519>

himself
<846>_;

by
<1223>

him
<846>_,

[I say], whether
<1535>

[they be] things in
<1909>

earth
<1093>_,

or
<1535>

things in
<1722>

heaven
<3772>_.

{having...: or, making}

1:21

And
<2532>

you
<5209>_,

that were
<5607> (5752)

sometime
<4218>

alienated
<526> (5772)

and
<2532>

enemies
<2190>

in [your] mind
<1271>

by
<1722>

wicked
<4190>

works
<2041>_,

yet
<1161>

now
<3570>

hath he reconciled
<604> (5656)

{in...: or, by your mind in}

1:22

In
<1722>

the body
<4983>

of his
<846>

flesh
<4561>

through
<1223>

death
<2288>_,

to present
<3936> (5658)

you
<5209>

holy
<40>

and
<2532>

unblameable
<299>

and
<2532>

unreproveable
<410>

in his
<846>

sight
<2714>_:

1:23

If
<1489>

ye continue
<1961> (5719)

in the faith
<4102>

grounded
<2311> (5772)

and
<2532>

settled
<1476>_,

and
<2532>

[be] not
<3361>

moved away
<3334> (5746)

from
<575>

the hope
<1680>

of the gospel
<2098>_,

which
<3739>

ye have heard
<191> (5656)_,

[and] which
<3588>

was preached
<2784> (5685)

to
<1722>

every
<3956>

creature
<2937>

which is under
<5259>

heaven
<3772>_;

whereof
<3739>

I
<1473>

Paul
<3972>

am made
<1096> (5633)

a minister
<1249>_;

1:24

Who
<3739>

now
<3568>

rejoice
<5463> (5719)

in
<1722>

my
<3450>

sufferings
<3804>

for
<5228>

you
<5216>_,

and
<2532>

fill up
<466> (5719)

that which is behind
<5303>

of the afflictions
<2347>

of Christ
<5547>

in
<1722>

my
<3450>

flesh
<4561>

for
<5228> (0)

his
<846>

body's
<4983>

sake
<5228>_,

which is
<3603> (5748)

the church
<1577>_:

1:25

Whereof
<3739>

I
<1473>

am made
<1096> (5633)

a minister
<1249>_,

according to
<2596>

the dispensation
<3622>

of God
<2316>

which
<3588>

is given
<1325> (5685)

to me
<3427>

for
<1519>

you
<5209>_,

to fulfil
<4137> (5658)

the word
<3056>

of God
<2316>_;

{to fulfil...: or, fully to preach the word}

1:26

[Even] the mystery
<3466>

which
<3588>

hath been hid
<613> (5772)

from
<575>

ages
<165>

and
<2532>

from
<575>

generations
<1074>_,

but
<1161>

now
<3570>

is made manifest
<5319> (5681)

to his
<846>

saints
<40>_:

1:27

To whom
<3739>

God
<2316>

would
<2309> (5656)

make known
<1107> (5658)

what
<5101>

[is] the riches
<4149>

of the glory
<1391>

of this
<5127>

mystery
<3466>

among
<1722>

the Gentiles
<1484>_;

which
<3739>

is
<2076> (5748)

Christ
<5547>

in
<1722>

you
<5213>_,

the hope
<1680>

of glory
<1391>_:

{in: or, among}

1:28

Whom
<3739>

we
<2249>

preach
<2605> (5719)_,

warning
<3560> (5723)

every
<3956>

man
<444>_,

and
<2532>

teaching
<1321> (5723)

every
<3956>

man
<444>

in
<1722>

all
<3956>

wisdom
<4678>_;

that
<2443>

we may present
<3936> (5661)

every
<3956>

man
<444>

perfect
<5046>

in
<1722>

Christ
<5547>

Jesus
<2424>_:

1:29

Whereunto
<1519> <3739>

I
<2872> (0)

also
<2532>

labour
<2872> (5719)_,

striving
<75> (5740)

according to
<2596>

his
<846>

working
<1753>_,

which
<3588>

worketh
<1754> (5734)

in
<1722>

me
<1698>

mightily
<1722> <1411>_.

2:1

For
<1063>

I would
<2309> (5719)

that ye
<5209>

knew
<1492> (5760)

what great
<2245>

conflict
<73>

I have
<2192> (5719)

for
<4012>

you
<5216>_,

and
<2532>

[for] them at
<1722>

Laodicea
<2993>_,

and
<2532>

[for] as many as
<3745>

have
<3708> (0)

not
<3756>

seen
<3708> (5758)

my
<3450>

face
<4383>

in
<1722>

the flesh
<4561>_;

{conflict: or, fear, or, care}

2:2

That
<2443>

their
<846>

hearts
<2588>

might be comforted
<3870> (5686)_,

being knit together
<4822> (5685)

in
<1722>

love
<26>_,

and
<2532>

unto
<1519>

all
<3956>

riches
<4149>

of the full assurance
<4136>

of understanding
<4907>_,

to
<1519>

the acknowledgement
<1922>

of the mystery
<3466>

of God
<2316>_,

and
<2532>

of the Father
<3962>_,

and
<2532>

of Christ
<5547>_;

2:3

In
<1722>

whom
<3739>

are
<1526> (5748)

hid
<614>

all
<3956>

the treasures
<2344>

of wisdom
<4678>

and
<2532>

knowledge
<1108>_.

{In whom: or, Wherein}

2:4

And
<1161>

this
<5124>

I say
<3004> (5719)_,

lest
<3363>

any man
<5100>

should beguile
<3884> (5741)

you
<5209>

with
<1722>

enticing words
<4086>_.

2:5

For
<1063>

though
<1499>

I be absent
<548> (5748)

in the flesh
<4561>_,

yet
<235>

am I
<1510> (5748)

with
<4862>

you
<5213>

in the spirit
<4151>_,

joying
<5463> (5723)

and
<2532>

beholding
<991> (5723)

your
<5216>

order
<5010>_,

and
<2532>

the stedfastness
<4733>

of your
<5216>

faith
<4102>

in
<1519>

Christ
<5547>_.

2:6

As
<5613>

ye have
<3880> (0)

therefore
<3767>

received
<3880> (5627)

Christ
<5547>

Jesus
<2424>

the Lord
<2962>_,

[so] walk ye
<4043> (5720)

in
<1722>

him
<846>_:

2:7

Rooted
<4492> (5772)

and
<2532>

built up
<2026> (5746)

in
<1722>

him
<846>_,

and
<2532>

stablished
<950> (5746)

in
<1722>

the faith
<4102>_,

as
<2531>

ye have been taught
<1321> (5681)_,

abounding
<4052> (5723)

therein
<1722> <846>

with
<1722>

thanksgiving
<2169>_.

2:8

Beware
<991> (5720)

lest
<3361>

any man
<5100>

spoil
<2071> (5704) <4812> (5723)

you
<5209>

through
<1223>

philosophy
<5385>

and
<2532>

vain
<2756>

deceit
<539>_,

after
<2596>

the tradition
<3862>

of men
<444>_,

after
<2596>

the rudiments
<4747>

of the world
<2889>_,

and
<2532>

not
<3756>

after
<2596>

Christ
<5547>_.

{rudiments: or, elements} {make a prey: or, seduce you, or, lead you astray}

2:9

For
<3754>

in
<1722>

him
<846>

dwelleth
<2730> (5719)

all
<3956>

the fulness
<4138>

of the Godhead
<2320>

bodily
<4985>_.

2:10

And
<2532>

ye are
<2075> (5748)

complete
<4137> (5772)

in
<1722>

him
<846>_,

which
<3739>

is
<2076> (5748)

the head
<2776>

of all
<3956>

principality
<746>

and
<2532>

power
<1849>_:

2:11

In
<1722>

whom
<3739>

also
<2532>

ye are circumcised
<4059> (5681)

with the circumcision
<4061>

made without hands
<886>_,

in
<1722>

putting off
<555>

the body
<4983>

of the sins
<266>

of the flesh
<4561>

by
