He has destroyed ¹  what was against us, a certificate of indebtedness ²  expressed in decrees opposed to us. He has taken it away by nailing it to the cross.

But now, put off all such things ¹  as anger, rage, malice, slander, abusive language from your mouth.

He delivered us from the power of darkness and transferred us to the kingdom of the Son he loves, ¹ 

And tell Archippus, “See to it that you complete the ministry you received in the Lord.”

I became a servant of the church according to the stewardship ¹  from God – given to me for you – in order to complete ²  the word of God,

that has come to you. Just as in the entire world this gospel ¹  is bearing fruit and growing, so it has also been bearing fruit and growing ²  among you from the first day you heard it and understood the grace of God in truth.

if indeed you remain in the faith, established and firm, ¹  without shifting ²  from the hope of the gospel that you heard. This gospel has also been preached in all creation under heaven, and I, Paul, have become its servant.
