| Colossians 1:6 | which is present to you, as also in all the world, and is bearing fruit, as also in you, from the day in which ye heard, and knew the grace of God in truth; | For it has reached you, and remains with you, just as it has also spread through the whole world, yielding fruit there and increasing, as it has done among you from the day when first you heard it and came really to know the grace of God, | which has come to you; even as it is also in all the world bearing fruit and increasing, as it does in you also, since the day you heard and knew the grace of God in truth; |

| Colossians 1:14 | in whom we have the redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of the sins, | in whom we have our redemption the forgiveness of our sins. | in whom we have our redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our sins; |

| Colossians 1:24 | I now rejoice in my sufferings for you, and do fill up the things lacking of the tribulations of the Christ in my flesh for his body, which is the assembly, | Now I can find joy amid my sufferings for you, and I fill up in my own person whatever is lacking in Christ's afflictions on behalf of His Body, the Church. | Now I rejoice in my sufferings for your sake, and fill up on my part that which is lacking of the afflictions of Christ in my flesh for his body's sake, which is the assembly; |
| Colossians 1:25 | of which I I did become a ministrant according to the dispensation of God, that was given to me for you, to fulfil the word of God, | I have been appointed to serve the Church in the position of responsibility entrusted to me by God for your benefit, so that I may fully deliver God's Message | of which I was made a servant, according to the stewardship of God which was given me toward you, to fulfill the word of God, |
| Colossians 1:26 | the secret that hath been hid from the ages and from the generations, but now was manifested to his saints, | the truth which has been kept secret from all ages and generations, but has now been revealed to His people, | the mystery which has been hidden for ages and generations.

| Colossians 1:27 | to whom God did will to make known what [is] the riches of the glory of this secret among the nations which is Christ in you, the hope of the glory, | to whom it was His will to make known how vast a wealth of glory for the Gentile world is implied in this truth the truth that `Christ is in you, the hope of glory.' | to whom God was pleased to make known what are the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles, who is Christ in you, the hope of glory; |
| Colossians 1:28 | whom we proclaim, warning every man, and teaching every man, in all wisdom, that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus, | Him we preach, admonishing every one and instructing every one, with all possible wisdom, so that we may bring every one into God's presence, made perfect through Christ. | whom we proclaim, admonishing every man and teaching every man in all wisdom, that we may present every man perfect in Christ; |
| Colossians 1:29 | for which also I labour, striving according to his working that is working in me in power. | To this end, like an earnest wrestler, I exert all my strength in reliance upon the power of Him who is mightily at work within me. | for which I also labor, striving according to his working, which works in me mightily. |
