So Paul, an envoy of Jesus Christ 'cause God was vibing with it, and Timotheus, our dude.
Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and Timotheus {our} brother,
To the holy crew and loyal fam in Christ chilling at Colosse: Grace and peace from God, our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ, fr.
To the saints and faithful brethren in Christ which are at Colosse: Grace {be} unto you, and peace, from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
We’re constantly vibing and throwing thanks to God and the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ for you, no cap.
We give thanks to God and the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, praying always for you,
Heard about your game in faith for Christ Jesus and the love you show to all the saints, periodt.
Since we heard of your faith in Christ Jesus, and of the love {which ye have} to all the saints,
For the hope that’s on deck for you in heaven, you peeped it in the truth of the gospel; it’s fire.
For the hope which is laid up for you in heaven, whereof ye heard before in the word of the truth of the gospel;
It’s come to you, just like it’s fire all over the globe, producing fruit, just like it did in you since the moment you caught the grace of God, fr.
Which is come unto you, as {it is} in all the world; and bringeth forth fruit, as {it doth} also in you, since the day ye heard {of it}, and knew the grace of God in truth:
You picked that up from Epaphras, our lit fellow servant, who’s a faithful minister of Christ for you.
As ye also learned of Epaphras our dear fellowservant, who is for you a faithful minister of Christ;
He also spilled the tea about your love in the Spirit, which is straight bussin'.
Who also declared unto us your love in the Spirit.
For this reason, we can’t stop praying for you since we heard the news, hoping you get filled with the knowledge of His will and all that wisdom, no cap.
For this cause we also, since the day we heard {it}, do not cease to pray for you, and to desire that ye might be filled with the knowledge of his will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding;
So you can walk in a way that’s worthy of the Lord, pleasing Him, being fruitful in every good action, and leveling up in the knowledge of God, slaps.
That ye might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God;
Strengthened with all the vibes, according to His glorious power, for all patience and good vibes with joy, fr;
Strengthened with all might, according to his glorious power, unto all patience and longsuffering with joyfulness;
Throwing thanks to the Father, who made us lit enough to share in the inheritance of the saints in light;
Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light:
Who rescued us from the shadows and switched us into the kingdom of His dope Son;
Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated {us} into the kingdom of his dear Son: {his...: Gr. the Son of his love}
In whom we found redemption through His blood, like the ultimate forgiveness of sins;
In whom we have redemption through his blood, {even} the forgiveness of sins:
Who is the rizz of the unseen God, the original of all creation;
Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature:
For by Him, everything was crafted, in heaven and on earth, visible and sus, whether thrones, dominions, or powers: all things were made through Him, and for Him;
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:
And He existed before all things, and through Him, all things are cool;
And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.
And He’s the head of the body, the church; He’s the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; so in all things, He’s the GOAT;
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. {in...: or, among all}
For it made the Father glad that all fullness should vibe in Him;
For it pleased {the Father} that in him should all fulness dwell;
And, making peace through the blood of His cross, He’s reconciling all things to Himself; for real, whether it’s on earth or in heaven.
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. {having...: or, making}
Yo, you were once completely out of the loop and haters in your mind 'cause of some sus stuff, but now God’s got you on the squad.
And you, that were sometime alienated and enemies in {your} mind by wicked works, yet now hath he reconciled {in...: or, by your mind in}
Through His flesh and death, He’s making you holy and vibing with no blame, straight up in His eyes.
In the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and unblameable and unreproveable in his sight:
If you keep the faith strong and steady, and don’t bounce from the hope of the gospel you heard, which was dropped to every living thing under the sky; I, Paul, am here repping that message.
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;
I’m out here hyped even when I’m struggling for you, filling up the gaps of Christ’s struggles in my body for the church, no cap.
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:
I’m a minister, doing my thing as God’s plan for you, bringing the word of God to life.
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; {to fulfil...: or, fully to preach the word}
This mystery has been lowkey hidden for ages but now it’s popping for His people.
{Even} the mystery which hath been hid from ages and from generations, but now is made manifest to his saints:
God wants to spill the tea on the riches of this mystery to the Gentiles; it’s Christ in you, the hope of glory, periodt.
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: {in: or, among}
We’re out here preaching, giving every dude a heads-up, and dropping wisdom to make everyone perfect in Christ Jesus.
Whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom; that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus:
That’s why I hustle hard, working with His power that’s straight flexing in me.
Whereunto I also labour, striving according to his working, which worketh in me mightily.
