Jesus

Which is the mysterie hid since the world began, and from all ages, but nowe is made manifest to his Saintes,

To whome God woulde make knowen what is the riches of his glorious mysterie among the Gentiles, which riches is Christ in you, the hope of glory,

Whome we preache, admonishing euery man, and teaching euery man in all wisdome, that we may present euery man perfect in Christ Iesus,

Whereunto I also labour and striue, according to his working which worketh in me mightily.

That their heartes might be comforted, and they knit together in loue, and in all riches of the full assurance of vnderstanding, to know the mysterie of God, euen the Father, and of Christ:

For though I be absent in the flesh, yet am I with you in the spirit, reioycing and beholding your order, and your stedfast faith in Christ.

As ye haue therefore receiued Christ Iesus the Lord, so walke in him,

Rooted and built in him, and stablished in the faith, as ye haue bene taught, abouding therein with thankesgiuing.

Beware lest there be any man that spoile you through philosophie, and vaine deceit, through the traditions of men, according to the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.

For in him dwelleth all the fulnesse of the Godhead bodily.

And yee are complete in him, which is the head of all principalitie and power.

In whome also yee are circumcised with circumcision made without handes, by putting off the sinfull body of the flesh, through the circumcision of Christ,

In that yee are buried with him through baptisme, in whome ye are also raised vp together through the faith of the operation of God, which raised him from the dead.

And you which were dead in sinnes, and in the vncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, forgiuing you all your trespasses,

And putting out the hand writing of ordinances that was against vs, which was contrarie to vs, hee euen tooke it out of the way, and fastened it vpon the crosse,

And hath spoyled the Principalities, and Powers, and hath made a shew of them openly, and hath triumphed ouer them in the same crosse.

Which are but a shadowe of thinges to come: but the body is in Christ.

Wherefore if ye be dead with Christ from the ordinances of the world, why, as though ye liued in ye world, are ye burdened with traditions?

If yee then bee risen with Christ, seeke those thinges which are aboue, where Christ sitteth at the right hand of God.

For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God.

When Christ which is our life, shall appeare, then shall ye also appeare with him in glory.

And haue put on the newe, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him,

Where is neither Grecian nor Iewe, circumcision nor vncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond, free: But Christ is all, and in all things.

Forbearing one another, and forgiuing one another, if any man haue a quarel to another: euen as Christ forgaue, euen so doe ye.

Let the worde of Christ dwell in you plenteously in all wisdome, teaching and admonishing your owne selues, in Psalmes, and hymnes, and spirituall songs, singing with a grace in your hearts to the Lord.
