²¹And you, that were sometime alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now hath he reconciled
²²In the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and unblameable and unreproveable in his sight:
²³If 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;
²⁴Who 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:
²⁵Whereof I am made a minister, according to the dispensation of God which is given to me for you, to fulfil the word of God;
²⁶Even the mystery which hath been hid from ages and from generations, but now is made manifest to his saints:
²⁷To 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:
²⁸Whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom; that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus:
²⁹Whereunto I also labour, striving according to his working, which worketh in me mightily.

2For I would that ye knew what great conflict I have for you, and for them at Laodicea, and for as many as have not seen my face in the flesh;
²That their hearts might be comforted, being knit together in love, and unto all riches of the full assurance of understanding, to the acknowledgement of the mystery of God, and of the Father, and of Christ;
³In whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.
⁴And this I say, lest any man should beguile you with enticing words.
⁵For though I be absent in the flesh, yet am I with you in the spirit, joying and beholding your order, and the stedfastness of your faith in Christ.
⁶As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him:
⁷Rooted and built up in him, and stablished in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving.
