4 audientes fidem vestram in Christo Jesu, et dilectionem quam habetis in sanctos omnes	4 Since we heard of your faith in Christ Jesus, and of the love which ye have to all the saints,
5 propter spem, quæ reposita est vobis in cælis : quam audistis in verbo veritatis Evangelii :	5 For the hope which is laid up for you in heaven, whereof ye heard before in the word of the truth of the gospel;
6 quod pervenit ad vos, sicut et in universo mundo est, et fructificat, et crescit sicut in vobis, ex ea die, qua audistis, et cognovistis gratiam Dei in veritate,	6 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:
7 sicut didicistis ab Epaphra carissimo conservo nostro, qui est fidelis pro vobis minister Christi Jesu,	7 As ye also learned of Epaphras our dear fellowservant, who is for you a faithful minister of Christ;
8 qui etiam manifestavit nobis dilectionem vestram in spiritu.	8 Who also declared unto us your love in the Spirit.
9 Ideo et nos ex qua die audivimus, non cessamus pro vobis orantes, et postulantes ut impleamini agnitione voluntatis ejus, in omni sapientia et intellectu spiritali :	9 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;

11 in omni virtute confortati secundum potentiam claritatis ejus, in omni patientia et longanimitate cum gaudio,	11 Strengthened with all might, according to his glorious power, unto all patience and longsuffering with joyfulness;
12 gratias agentes Deo Patri, qui dignos nos fecit in partem sortis sanctorum in lumine :	12 Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light:
13 qui eripuit nos de potestate tenebrarum, et transtulit in regnum filii dilectionis suæ,	13 Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son:
14 in quo habemus redemptionem per sanguinem ejus, remissionem peccatorum :	14 In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins:
15 qui est imago Dei invisibilis, primogenitus omnis creaturæ :	15 Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature:
16 quoniam in ipso condita sunt universa in cælis, et in terra, visibilia, et invisibilia, sive throni, sive dominationes, sive principatus, sive potestates : omnia per ipsum et in ipso creata sunt :	16 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:
17 et ipse est ante omnes, et omnia in ipso constant.	17 And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.
18 Et ipse est caput corporis Ecclesiæ, qui est principium, primogenitus ex mortuis : ut sit in omnibus ipse primatum tenens :	18 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.
19 quia in ipso complacuit, omnem plenitudinem inhabitare :	19 For it pleased the Father that in him should all fulness dwell;
20 et per eum reconciliare omnia in ipsum, pacificans per sanguinem crucis ejus, sive quæ in terris, sive quæ in cælis sunt.	20 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.
21 Et vos cum essetis aliquando alienati, et inimici sensu in operibus malis :	21 And you, that were sometime alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now hath he reconciled
22 nunc autem reconciliavit in corpore carnis ejus per mortem, exhibere vos sanctos, et immaculatos, et irreprehensibiles coram ipso :	22 In the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and unblameable and unreproveable in his sight:
23 si tamen permanetis in fide fundati, et stabiles, et immobiles a spe Evangelii, quod audistis, quod prædicatum est in universa creatura, quæ sub cælo est, cujus factus sum ego Paulus minister.	23 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;
24 Qui nunc gaudeo in passionibus pro vobis, et adimpleo ea quæ desunt passionum Christi, in carne mea pro corpore ejus, quod est Ecclesia :	24 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:
25 cujus factus sum ego minister secundum dispensationem Dei, quæ data est mihi in vos, ut impleam verbum Dei :	25 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;
26 mysterium, quod absconditum fuit a sæculis, et generationibus, nunc autem manifestatum est sanctis ejus,	26 Even the mystery which hath been hid from ages and from generations, but now is made manifest to his saints:
27 quibus voluit Deus notas facere divitias gloriæ sacramenti hujus in gentibus, quod est Christus, in vobis spes gloriæ,	27 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:
28 quem nos annuntiamus, corripientes omnem hominem, et docentes omnem hominem, in omni sapientia, ut exhibeamus omnem hominem perfectum in Christo Jesu :	28 Whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom; that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus:
29 in quo et laboro, certando secundum operationem ejus, quam operatur in me in virtute.	29 Whereunto I also labour, striving according to his working, which worketh in me mightily.
