Why does the spelling look unusual?

¹ Paul an Apostle of Iesus Christ, by þ^e will of God, and Timotheus our brother,

² To the saints and faithfull brethren in Christ, which are at Colosse, grace be vnto you, and peace from God our Father, and the Lord Iesus Christ.

³ We giue thanks to God, and the Father of our Lord Iesus Christ, praying alwayes for you,

⁴ Since we heard of your faith in Christ Iesus, and of the loue which yee haue to all the Saints,

⁵ For the hope which is layd vp for you in heauen, whereof ye heard before in the word of the trueth of the Gospel,

⁶ Which is come vnto you as it is in all the world, and bringeth foorth fruit, as it doth also in you, since the day yee heard of it, and knew the grace of God in trueth,

⁷ As yee also learned of Epaphras our deare felow seruant, who is for you a faithfull Minister of Christ:

⁸ Who also declared vnto vs your loue in the spirit.

⁹ For this cause wee also, since the day we heard it, doe not cease to pray for you, and to desire that ye might be filled with the knowledge of his will, in all wisedome and spirituall vnderstanding:

¹⁰ That ye might walke worthy of the Lord vnto all pleasing, being fruitfull in euery good worke, & increasing in the knowledge of God:

¹¹ Strengthened with all might according to his glorious power, vnto all patience and long suffering with ioyfulnesse:

¹² Giuing thanks vnto the Father, which hath made vs meete to be partakers of the inheritance of the Saints in light:

¹³ Who hath deliuered vs from the power of darkenesse, and hath translated vs into the kingdome of his deare Sonne,

¹⁴ In whom we haue redemption through his blood, euen the forgiuenesse of sinnes:

¹⁵ Who is the image of the inuisible God, the first borne of euery creature.

¹⁶ For by him were all things created that are in heauen, and that are in earth, visible and inuisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him.

¹⁷ And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.

¹⁸ And hee is the head of the body, the Church: who is the beginning, the first borne from the dead, that in all things he might haue the preeminence:

¹⁹ For it pleased the Father that in him should all fulnesse dwell,

²⁰ And (hauing made peace through the blood of his crosse) by him to reconcile all things vnto himself, by him, I say, whether they bee things in earth, or things in heauen.

²¹ And you that were sometimes alienated, and enemies in your minde by wicked workes, yet now hath hee reconciled,

²² In the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy & vnblameable, and vnreprooueable in his sight,

²³ If ye continue in the faith grounded and setled, and be not moued away from the hope of the Gospel, which yee haue heard, and which was preached to euery creature which is vnder heauen, whereof I Paul am made a Minister.

²⁴ Who now reioyce in my sufferings for you, and fill vp that which is behind of the afflictions of Christ in my flesh, for his bodies sake, which is the Church,

²⁵ Whereof I am made a Minister, according to the dispensation of God, which is giuen to mee for you, to fulfill the word of God:

²⁶ Euen the mystery which hath been hid from ages, and from generations, but now is made manifest to his saints,

²⁷ To whom God would make knowen what is the riches of the glory of this mysterie among the Gentiles, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:

²⁸ Whom we preach, warning euery man, and teaching euery man in all wisedome, that we may present euery man perfect in Christ Iesus.

²⁹ Whereunto I also labour, striuing according to his working, which worketh in me mightily.

Esther's Colossians Chapter 1 comment on 4/26/2012, 10:18pm...

I have NEVER read in the Bible the phrase "GOD the son" can you please give any scripture where it says God the son? The answer to that is NO. However it does say son of God. God is a spirit they that worship Him must worship in spirit and in truth. God , son, and Holy ghost are one not 3 . Referance jon 3'16, 1John 3'16 even says for GOD laid down his life. Here oh Israel our Lord our God is one.

Anita's Colossians Chapter 1 comment on 4/13/2012, 9:37am...

Jesus prayed to His Father before the crucifictionto let the cup pass him by...and He said to His Father right before He died "Father, in Your hands I now give up my spirit" Surely He wasn't talking to himself.

S Lawson Sr.'s Colossians Chapter 1 comment about verse 17 on 4/12/2012, 1:42am...

It means that His Father gave to Him the authority to do what He did. He said the what you see me do or hear me say I all comes from My Father... Jesus never took credit for doing anything. He always gave the credit to His father.

Charles trump's Colossians Chapter 1 comment on 3/29/2012, 2:57am...

I would like to address these comments by 1st saying I respect yr opinions. When Jesus was a baby who was over the universe? Remember,like anyone else God has attributes. One of his is that he is omni present, he created as spirit and that same spirit wrapped itself in flesh Col 3:16 for great is the mystery of godliness, For without controversy God was manifested in the what? the Flesh! justified in the spirit seen of angels,preached unto the gentiles and recieved into glory who asended? Jesus Christ Right? We just need to take it as its written and believe him for who he is! His name means whatMatt2 God with us right? It didn't say a part of God 1/2 of God. see what I mean? Did not he proclaim in Rev that he is the 1st and last the begin/ending he said he was the almighty! how many all mighties do u need. God bless, chaz from durham nc.

JServant's Colossians Chapter 1 comment on 2/29/2012, 8:44am...

God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. Period!

Timothy Wayne George's Colossians Chapter 1 comment on 2/27/2012, 9:48pm...

The mystery of the Gospel that was hid from the ages, Christ in you the hope of glory. Praise God for this is a sure hope that every born again christian has living in him the Spirit of Jesus Christ the hope of glory. David said I will be happy, when I awake in your likeness. This is the blessed hope, that we have in Jesus Christ, that we should be holy, with out spot or wrinkle at his coming. So let the blood of Jesus cleanse you, and make you white as snow. Even so come quickly Lord Jesus Christ.

Mellaro's Colossians Chapter 1 comment on 1/24/2012, 9:50pm...

Jesus is god manifested in the flesh. The holy spirit is the true power of god because it exists as the invisible god in heaven and in jesus our lord and saviour the living god on earth. Our creator is what all things consist of so the mystery is clear. For him, by him. Knowing the fact that jesus is what holds our dna together helps us understand the indept meaning behind his omnipotence. The reign of sin and death to enable us to understand the reason for us seek out our creator. Our father Appearing to us Born of flesh visibly in christ jesus to show us the nature And way of holiness and purity. And To witness through scripture Our fathers dominion over the heavens and earth Even as he dwelled among us is yet another remarkable degree of his existence. Before him there is no other god nor after. Glory to god almighty.

Ricky's Colossians Chapter 1 comment about verse 15 on 1/01/2012, 5:04pm...

Have you ever thought that this may mean in one accord. If Jesus is God, then explain Matt 3:17, is he referring to himself? What about John 1:14, John 14:28,1 Corinth 11:3 and of course John 3:16? So tell me if Jesus is God, then when Jesus was a baby, who was over the universe?
