Discovery Box| (1.00) | Col 1:5 |
| Your faith and love have arisen 1 from the hope laid up 2 for you in heaven, which you have heard about in the message of truth, the gospel 3 |
| (1.00) | Col 1:6 |
| that has come to you. Just as in the entire world this gospel 1 is bearing fruit and growing, so it has also been bearing fruit and growing 2 among you from the first day you heard it and understood the grace of God in truth. |
| (1.00) | Col 1:7 |
| You learned the gospel 1 from Epaphras, our dear fellow slave 2 – a 3 faithful minister of Christ on our 4 behalf – |
| (1.00) | Col 1:8 |
| who also told us of your love in the Spirit. |
| (1.00) | Col 1:9 |
| For this reason we also, from the day we heard about you, 1 have not ceased praying for you and asking God 2 to fill 3 you with the knowledge of his will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding, |
| (1.00) | Col 1:10 |
| so that you may live 1 worthily of the Lord and please him in all respects 2 – bearing fruit in every good deed, growing in the knowledge of God, |
| (1.00) | Col 1:21 |
| And you were at one time strangers and enemies in your 1 minds 2 as expressed through 3 your evil deeds, |
| (1.00) | Col 1:23 |
| if indeed you remain in the faith, established and firm, 1 without shifting 2 from the hope of the gospel that you heard. This gospel has also been preached in all creation under heaven, and I, Paul, have become its servant. |
| (1.00) | Col 1:24 |
| Now I rejoice in my sufferings for you, and I fill up in my physical body – for the sake of his body, the church – what is lacking in the sufferings of Christ. |
| (1.00) | Col 1:25 |
| I became a servant of the church according to the stewardship 1 from God – given to me for you – in order to complete 2 the word of God, |
| (1.00) | Col 1:29 |
| Toward this goal 1 I also labor, struggling according to his power that powerfully 2 works in me. |
| (1.00) | Col 2:1 |
| For I want you to know how great a struggle I have for you, 1 and for those in Laodicea, and for those who have not met me face to face. 2 |
| (1.00) | Col 2:4 |
| I say this so that no one will deceive you through arguments 1 that sound reasonable. 2 |
| (1.00) | Col 2:8 |
| Be careful not to allow anyone to captivate you 1 through an empty, deceitful philosophy 2 that is according to human traditions and the elemental spirits 3 of the world, and not according to Christ. |
| (1.00) | Col 2:12 |
| Having been buried with him in baptism, you also have been raised with him through your 1 faith in the power 2 of God who raised him from the dead. |
| (1.00) | Col 2:16 |
| Therefore do not let anyone judge you with respect to food or drink, or in the matter of a feast, new moon, or Sabbath days – |
| (1.00) | Col 2:18 |
| Let no one who delights in humility and the worship of angels pass judgment on you. That person goes on at great lengths 1 about what he has supposedly seen, but he is puffed up with empty notions by his fleshly mind. 2 |
| (1.00) | Col 2:20 |
| If you have died with Christ to the elemental spirits 1 of the world, why do you submit to them as though you lived in the world? |
| (1.00) | Col 2:22 |
| These are all destined to perish with use, founded as they are 1 on human commands and teachings. 2 |
| (1.00) | Col 2:23 |
| Even though they have the appearance of wisdom 1 with their self-imposed worship and false humility 2 achieved by an 3 unsparing treatment of the body – a wisdom with no true value – they in reality result in fleshly indulgence. 4 |
