will of God, and Timothy our brother,

To the holy and faithful brothers and

sisters in Christ at Colosse:

Grace and peace to you from God our

Father.

We always thank God, the Father of our

Lord Jesus Christ, when we pray for you,

because we have heard of the love you

have for all the saints- the faith and love

that spring from the hope that is stored up

for you in heaven and that you have already

heard about in the word of truth, the gospel

(Best News Ever) that has come to you.

All over the world this gospel is bearing

fruit and growing, just as it has been doing

among you since the day you heard it and

understood God’s grace in all its truth.

You learned it from Epaphras, our dear

fellow servant, who s a faithful minister

of Christ on our behalf, and who also

told us of your love in the Spirit.

For this reason, since the day we

heard about you, we have not

stopped praying for you and asking

God to fill you with the knowledge of

His will through all spiritual wisdom

and understanding.

And we pray this in order that you may

live a life worthy of the Lord and may

please Him in every way:

bearing fruit in every good work,

growing in the knowledge of God,

being strengthened with all power

according to His glorious might so

that you may have great endurance

and patience, and joyfully giving

thanks to the Father Who has

qualified you to share in the

inheritance of the saints in the

kingdom of light.

For He has rescued us from the

dominion of darkness and brought us

into the kingdom of the Son He loves,

in Whom we have redemption, the

forgiveness of sins.

He is the image of the invisible God,

the firstborn over all creation.

For by Him all things were created:

things in heaven and on earth,

visible and invisible, whether thrones

or powers or rulers or authorities;

all things were created by Him and for Him.

He is before all things, and in Him all things

hold together.

And He is the head of the body, the church;

He is the beginning and firstborn from among

the dead, so that in everything He might have

the supremacy. For God was pleased to have

all His fullness dwell in Him, and through Him

to reconcile to Himself all things, whether

things on earth or things in heaven, by making

peace through His blood, shed on the cross.

(Colossians 1.1-20).

is not in us. If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just and will

forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.

(I.John 1.8 & 9).

HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOREVERMORE!

If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and

even though they are strangers to you. They have told the church

about your love. You will do well to send them on their way in a

manner worthy of God. It was for the sake of the Name that they went

out, receiving no help from the pagans. We ought therefore to show

hospitality to such men so that we may work together for the truth.

(III. John 5-8).

HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOREVERMORE!

your faithfulness to the truth and how you continue to walk in the

truth. I have no greater joy than to hear that my children are

walking in the truth.

(III. John 3&4).

HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOREVERMORE!

To the chosen lady and her children, whom I love in the truth-

and not I only, but all who know the truth- because of the truth,

which lives in us and will be with us forever:

Grace, mercy and peace from God the Father and from Jesus Christ,

the Father’s Son, will be in us in truth and love.

(II.John1.1-3).

HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOREVERMORE!

because the One Who is in you is greater than the one who is in the

world. They are from  the world and therefore speak from the

viewpoint of the world, and the world listens to them. We are from

God, and whoever knows God listens to us; but whoever is not from

God does not listen to us. This is how we recognize the Spirit of truth

and the spirit of falsehood.

(I. John 4.4-6).

HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOREVERMORE!

The man who says, “I know Him,” But does not do what He commands

is a liar, and the truth is not in him. But if anyone obeys His word, God’s

love is truly made complete in him. This is how we know we are in Him:

Whoever claims to live in Him  must walk as Jesus did.

(I. John1.3-6).

HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOREVERMORE!

as we are praying for you,

For we have heard of your faith in Christ Jesus and the love which you

have and show for all the saints,

Because of the hope laid up for you in heaven. Of this hope you heard in

the  in the past in the message of the truth of the Gospel (Best News Ever).

(Colossians 1.3-5).

HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOREVERMORE!

gave to us some to be apostles (special messengers),

some prophets (inspired preachers and expounders),

some evangelists (preachers of the Gospel, traveling

missionaries), some pastors (shepherds of His flock)

and teachers.

His intention was the perfecting and full equipping

of the saints (His consecrated people), that they should

do the work of ministering toward building up Christ’s

body (the church).

That it might develop until we all attain oneness in the faith

and in the faith and in the comprehension of the full and

accurate knowledge of the Son of God, that we might arrive

at real maturity and completeness which is nothing less

than the standard height of Christ’s own perfection, the

measure of the stature of the fullness of the Christ and the

completeness found in Him.

So that we may no longer be children, tossed to and fro

between chance gusts of teaching and wavering with every

changing wind of doctrine, the prey of cunning and

cleverness of unscrupulous men, in every shifting form

of trickery in inventing errors to mislead.

Rather, let our lives lovingly express truth. Enfolded

in love, let us grow up in every way and in all things into

Him Who is the Head, Christ.

For because of Him the whole body, the church, in all

its various parts, closely joined and firmly knit together

by the joints and ligaments with which it is supplied, when

each part is working properly, grows to full maturity,

building itself up in love.

(Ephesians 4.11-16).

HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOREVERMORE!
