30 day study of the words of Paul ================================= Day 21 COL 02:12 Buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with [him] through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead. COL 02:13 And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses; COL 02:14 Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross; COL 02:15 [And] having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a show of them openly, triumphing over them in it. COL 02:16 Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath [days]: COL 02:17 Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body [is] of Christ. COL 02:18 Let no man beguile you of your reward in a voluntary humility and worshipping of angels, intruding into those things which he hath not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind, COL 02:19 And not holding the Head, from which all the body by joints and bands having nourishment ministered, and knit together, increaseth with the increase of God. COL 02:20 Wherefore if ye be dead with Christ from the rudiments of the world, why, as though living in the world, are ye subject to ordinances, COL 02:21 (Touch not; taste not; handle not; COL 02:22 Which all are to perish with the using;) after the commandments and doctrines of men? COL 02:23 Which things have indeed a show of wisdom in will worship, and humility, and neglecting of the body; not in any honour to the satisfying of the flesh. COL 03:01 If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. COL 03:02 Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. COL 03:03 For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God. COL 03:04 When Christ, [who is] our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory. COL 03:05 Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry: COL 03:06 For which things' sake the wrath of God cometh on the children of disobedience: COL 03:07 In the which ye also walked some time, when ye lived in them. COL 03:08 But now ye also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth. COL 03:09 Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off the old man with his deeds; COL 03:10 And have put on the new [man], which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him: COL 03:11 Where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond [nor] free: but Christ [is] all, and in all. COL 03:12 Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering; COL 03:13 Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also [do] ye. COL 03:14 And above all these things [put on] charity, which is the bond of perfectness. COL 03:15 And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful. COL 03:16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. COL 03:17 And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, [do] all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him. COL 03:18 Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as it is fit in the Lord. COL 03:19 Husbands, love [your] wives, and be not bitter against them. COL 03:20 Children, obey [your] parents in all things: for this is well pleasing unto the Lord. COL 03:21 Fathers, provoke not your children [to anger], lest they be discouraged. COL 03:22 Servants, obey in all things [your] masters according to the flesh; not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but in singleness of heart, fearing God: COL 03:23 And whatsoever ye do, do [it] heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men; COL 03:24 Knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance: for ye serve the Lord Christ. COL 03:25 But he that doeth wrong shall receive for the wrong which he hath done: and there is no respect of persons. COL 04:01 Masters, give unto [your] servants that which is just and equal; knowing that ye also have a Master in heaven. COL 04:02 Continue in prayer, and watch in the same with thanksgiving; COL 04:03 Withal praying also for us, that God would open unto us a door of utterance, to speak the mystery of Christ, for which I am also in bonds: COL 04:04 That I may make it manifest, as I ought to speak. COL 04:05 Walk in wisdom toward them that are without, redeeming the time. COL 04:06 Let your speech [be] alway with grace, seasoned with salt, that ye may know how ye ought to answer every man. COL 04:07 All my state shall Tychicus declare unto you, [who is] a beloved brother, and a faithful minister and fellowservant in the Lord: COL 04:08 Whom I have sent unto you for the same purpose, that he might know your estate, and comfort your hearts; COL 04:09 With Onesimus, a faithful and beloved brother, who is [one] of you. They shall make known unto you all things which [are done] here. COL 04:10 Aristarchus my fellowprisoner saluteth you, and Marcus, sister's son to Barnabas, (touching whom ye received commandments: if he come unto you, receive him;) COL 04:11 And Jesus, which is called Justus, who are of the circumcision. These only [are my] fellowworkers unto the kingdom of God, which have been a comfort unto me. COL 04:12 Epaphras, who is [one] of you, a servant of Christ, saluteth you, always labouring fervently for you in prayers, that ye may stand perfect and complete in all the will of God. COL 04:13 For I bear him record, that he hath a great zeal for you, and them [that are] in Laodicea and them in Hierapolis. COL 04:14 Luke, the beloved physician, and Demas, greet you. COL 04:15 Salute the brethren which are in Laodicea, and Nymphas, and the church which is in his house. COL 04:16 And when this epistle is read among you, cause that it be read also in the church of the Laodiceans; and that ye likewise read the [epistle] from Laodicea. COL 04:17 And say to Archippus, Take heed to the ministry which thou hast received in the Lord, that thou fulfil it. COL 04:18 The salutation by the hand of me Paul. Remember my bonds. Grace [be] with you. Amen. 1TH 01:01 Paul, and Silvanus, and Timotheus, unto the church of the Thessalonians [which is] in God the Father and [in] the Lord Jesus Christ: Grace [be] unto you, and peace, from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ. 1TH 01:02 We give thanks to God always for you all, making mention of you in our prayers; 1TH 01:03 Remembering without ceasing your work of faith, and labour of love, and patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, in the sight of God and our Father; 1TH 01:04 Knowing, brethren beloved, your election of God. 1TH 01:05 For our gospel came not unto you in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Ghost, and in much assurance; as ye know what manner of men we were among you for your sake. 1TH 01:06 And ye became followers of us, and of the Lord, having received the word in much affliction, with joy of the Holy Ghost: 1TH 01:07 So that ye were ensamples to all that believe in Macedonia and Achaia. 1TH 01:08 For from you sounded out the word of the Lord not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but also in every place your faith to God ward is spread abroad; so that we need not to speak any thing. 1TH 01:09 For they themselves show of us what manner of entering in we had unto you, and how ye turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God; 1TH 01:10 And to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, [even] Jesus, which delivered us from the wrath to come. 1TH 02:01 For yourselves, brethren, know our entrance in unto you, that it was not in vain: 1TH 02:02 But even after that we had suffered before, and were shamefully entreated, as ye know, at Philippi, we were bold in our God to speak unto you the gospel of God with much contention. 1TH 02:03 For our exhortation [was] not of deceit, nor of uncleanness, nor in guile: 1TH 02:04 But as we were allowed of God to be put in trust with the gospel, even so we speak; not as pleasing men, but God, which trieth our hearts. 1TH 02:05 For neither at any time used we flattering words, as ye know, nor a cloak of covetousness; God [is] witness: 1TH 02:06 Nor of men sought we glory, neither of you, nor [yet] of others, when we might have been burdensome, as the apostles of Christ. 1TH 02:07 But we were gentle among you, even as a nurse cherisheth her children: 1TH 02:08 So being affectionately desirous of you, we were willing to have imparted unto you, not the gospel of God only, but also our own souls, because ye were dear unto us. 1TH 02:09 For ye remember, brethren, our labour and travail: for labouring night and day, because we would not be chargeable unto any of you, we preached unto you the gospel of God. 1TH 02:10 Ye [are] witnesses, and God [also], how holily and justly and unblameably we behaved ourselves among you that believe: 1TH 02:11 As ye know how we exhorted and comforted and charged every one of you, as a father [doth] his children, 1TH 02:12 That ye would walk worthy of God, who hath called you unto his kingdom and glory. 1TH 02:13 For this cause also thank we God without ceasing, because, when ye received the word of God which ye heard of us, ye received [it] not [as] the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which effectually worketh also in you that believe. ~~~~~~
