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:
> Jakeen lisätiedot
1:15 Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature:
> Jakeen lisätiedot
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:
> Jakeen lisätiedot
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.
> Jakeen lisätiedot
1:19 For it pleased the Father that in him should all fulness dwell;
> Jakeen lisätiedot
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.
> Jakeen lisätiedot
1:21 And you, that were sometime alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now hath he reconciled
> Jakeen lisätiedot
1:22 In the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and unblameable and unreproveable in his sight:
> Jakeen lisätiedot
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;
> Jakeen lisätiedot
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:
> Jakeen lisätiedot
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;
> Jakeen lisätiedot
1:26 Even the mystery which hath been hid from ages and from generations, but now is made manifest to his saints:
> Jakeen lisätiedot
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:
> Jakeen lisätiedot
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:
> Jakeen lisätiedot
1:29 Whereunto I also labour, striving according to his working, which worketh in me mightily.
