Colossians
   1:1-12
1 Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by
the will of God, and Timothy our
brother,

2 To the saints and faithful brothers in
Christ at Colossae: Grace to you and
peace from God our Father.

3 We always thank God, the Father of
our Lord Jesus Christ, when we pray
for you, 4 since we heard of your faith
in Christ Jesus and of the love that
you have for all the saints, 5 because
of the hope laid up for you in heaven.
Of this you have heard before in the
word of the truth, the gospel, 6 which
has come to you, as indeed in the
whole world it is bearing fruit and
growing--as it also does among you,
since the day you heard it and
understood the grace of God in truth,
7 just as you learned it from Epaphras
our beloved fellow servant. He is a
faithful minister of Christ on your
behalf 8 and has made known to us
your love in the Spirit.
9 And so, from the day we heard, we have
not ceased to pray for you, asking that
you may be filled with the knowledge of
his will in all spiritual wisdom and
understanding, 10 so as to walk in a
manner worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing
to him, bearing fruit in every good work
and increasing in the knowledge of God.
11 May you be strengthened with all
power, according to his glorious might, for
all endurance and patience with joy, 12
giving thanks to the Father, who has
qualified you to share in the inheritance of
the saints in light.

Colossians
   1:13-29
13 He has delivered us from the domain of
darkness and transferred us to the kingdom of
his beloved Son, 14 in whom we have
redemption, the forgiveness of sins. 15 He is
the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of
all creation. 16 For by him all things were
created, in heaven and on earth, visible and
invisible, whether thrones or dominions or
rulers or authorities--all things were created
through him and for him. 17 And he is before
all things, and in him all things hold together.
18 And he is the head of the body, the church.
He is the beginning, the firstborn from the
dead, that in everything he might be
preeminent.
19 For in him all the fullness of God was
pleased to dwell, 20 and through him to
reconcile to himself all things, whether on
earth or in heaven, making peace by the blood
of his cross. 21 And you, who once were
alienated and hostile in mind, doing evil
deeds, 22 he has now reconciled in his body of
flesh by his death, in order to present you
holy and blameless and above reproach before
him, 23 if indeed you continue in the faith,
stable and steadfast, not shifting from the
hope of the gospel that you heard, which has
been proclaimed in all creation under heaven,
and of which I, Paul, became a minister.
24 Now I rejoice in my sufferings for your
sake, and in my flesh I am filling up what is
lacking in Christ's afflictions for the sake of his
body, that is, the church, 25 of which I
became a minister according to the
stewardship from God that was given to me
for you, to make the word of God fully known,
26 the mystery hidden for ages and
generations but now revealed to his saints. 27
To them God chose to make known how great
among the Gentiles are the riches of the glory
of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the
hope of glory.
28 Him we proclaim, warning everyone and
teaching everyone with all wisdom, that we
may present everyone mature in Christ. 29 For
this I toil, struggling with all his energy that he
powerfully works within me.

Colossians
   2:1-15
Colossians
1 For I want you to know how great a
struggle I have for you and for those at
Laodicea and for all who have not seen me
face to face, 2 that their hearts may be
encouraged, being knit together in love, to
reach all the riches of full assurance of
understanding and the knowledge of God's
mystery, which is Christ, 3 in whom are
hidden all the treasures of wisdom and
knowledge. 4 I say this in order that no one
may delude you with plausible arguments.
5 For though I am absent in body, yet I am
with you in spirit, rejoicing to see your good
order and the firmness of your faith in
Christ.
Colossians
6 Therefore, as you received Christ Jesus
the Lord, so walk in him, 7 rooted and
built up in him and established in the
faith, just as you were taught, abounding
in thanksgiving.
Colossians
8 See to it that no one takes you captive by
philosophy and empty deceit, according to
human tradition, according to the elemental
spirits of the world, and not according to
Christ. 9 For in him the whole fullness of
deity dwells bodily, 10 and you have been
filled in him, who is the head of all rule and
authority. 11 In him also you were
circumcised with a circumcision made
without hands, by putting off the body of
the flesh, by the circumcision of Christ, 12
having been buried with him in baptism, in
which you were also raised with him
through faith in the powerful working of
God, who raised him from the dead.
Colossians
13 And you, who were dead in your
trespasses and the uncircumcision of your
flesh, God made alive together with him,
having forgiven us all our trespasses, 14 by
canceling the record of debt that stood
against us with its legal demands. This he
set aside, nailing it to the cross. 15 He
disarmed the rulers and authorities and put
them to open shame, by triumphing over
them in him.

Colossians
    3
1 If then you have been raised with Christ,
seek the things that are above, where
Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. 2
Set your minds on things that are above,
not on things that are on earth. 3 For you
have died, and your life is hidden with
Christ in God. 4 When Christ who is your
life appears, then you also will appear with
him in glory.
5 Put to death therefore what is earthly
in you: sexual immorality, impurity,
passion, evil desire, and covetousness,
which is idolatry. 6 On account of these
the wrath of God is coming. 7 In these
you too once walked, when you were
living in them. 8 But now you must put
them all away: anger, wrath, malice,
slander, and obscene talk from your
mouth.
9 Do not lie to one another, seeing
that you have put off the old self
with its practices 10 and have put
on the new self, which is being
renewed in knowledge after the
image of its creator. 11 Here there
is not Greek and Jew, circumcised
and uncircumcised, barbarian,
Scythian, slave, free; but Christ is
all, and in all.

12 Put on then, as God's chosen ones, holy
and beloved, compassionate hearts,
kindness, humility, meekness, and
patience, 13 bearing with one another and,
if one has a complaint against another,
forgiving each other; as the Lord has
forgiven you, so you also must forgive. 14
And above all these put on love, which
binds everything together in perfect
harmony. 15 And let the peace of Christ
rule in your hearts, to which indeed you
were called in one body. And be thankful.
16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you
richly, teaching and admonishing one
another in all wisdom, singing psalms and
hymns and spiritual songs, with
thankfulness in your hearts to God. 17 And
whatever you do, in word or deed, do
everything in the name of the Lord Jesus,
giving thanks to God the Father through
him.

18 Wives, submit to your husbands, as is
fitting in the Lord. 19 Husbands, love your
wives, and do not be harsh with them. 20
Children, obey your parents in everything,
for this pleases the Lord. 21 Fathers, do not
provoke your children, lest they become
discouraged. 22 Slaves, obey in everything
those who are your earthly masters, not by
way of eye-service, as people-pleasers, but
with sincerity of heart, fearing the Lord.
23 Whatever you do, work heartily, as
for the Lord and not for men, 24
knowing that from the Lord you will
receive the inheritance as your reward.
You are serving the Lord Christ. 25 For
the wrongdoer will be paid back for the
wrong he has done, and there is no
partiality.

you shall bring forth children. Your desire
shall be for your husband, and he shall rule
over you.

17 And to Adam he said, Because you have
listened to the voice of your wife and have
eaten of the tree of which I commanded
you, You shall not eat of it, cursed is the
ground because of you; in pain you shall
eat of it all the days of your life; 18 thorns
and thistles it shall bring forth for you; and
you shall eat the plants of the field. 19 By
the sweat of your face you shall eat bread,
till you return to the ground, for out of it
you were taken; for you are dust, and to
dust you shall return.
20 The man called his wife's name Eve,
because she was the mother of all living. 21
And the Lord God made for Adam and for
his wife garments of skins and clothed
them.
Ephesians 5

15 Look carefully then how you walk, not as
unwise but as wise, 16 making the best use
of the time, because the days are evil. 17
Therefore do not be foolish, but understand
what the will of the Lord is. 18 And do not
get drunk with wine, for that is debauchery,
but be filled with the Spirit, 19 addressing
one another in psalms and hymns and
spiritual songs, singing and making melody
to the Lord with your heart, 20 giving
thanks always and for everything to God
the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus
Christ, 21 submitting to one another out of
reverence for Christ.
22 Wives, submit to your own husbands, as
to the Lord. 23 For the husband is the head
of the wife even as Christ is the head of the
church, his body, and is himself its Savior.
24 Now as the church submits to Christ, so
also wives should submit in everything to
their husbands. 25 Husbands, love your
wives, as Christ loved the church and gave
himself up for her, 26 that he might sanctify
her, having cleansed her by the washing of
water with the word, 27 so that he might
present the church to himself in splendor,
without spot or wrinkle or any such thing,
that she might be holy and without blemish.
28 In this same way, husbands ought to love
their wives as their own bodies. He who
loves his wife loves himself. 29 After all,
people have never hated their own bodies,
but they feed and care for them, just as
Christ does the church— 30 for we are
members of his body. 31 “For this reason a
man will leave his father and mother and be
united to his wife, and the two will become
one flesh.” 32 This is a profound mystery—
but I am talking about Christ and the church.
33 However, each one of you also must love
his wife as he loves himself, and the wife
must respect her husband.

21 So the Lord God caused the man to fall
into a deep sleep; and while he was
sleeping, he took one of the man’s ribs and
then closed up the place with flesh. 22 Then
the Lord God made a woman from the rib
he had taken out of the man, and he
brought her to the man. 23 The man said,
“This is now bone of my bones and flesh of
my flesh; she shall be called ‘woman,’ for
she was taken out of man.”

 29 This is what I mean, brothers: the appointed time
  has grown very short. From now on, let those who
have wives live as though they had none, 30 and those
 who mourn as though they were not mourning, and
those who rejoice as though they were not rejoicing,
 and those who buy as though they had no goods, 31
  and those who deal with the world as though they
 had no dealings with it. For the present form of this
                 world is passing away.

2 Continue steadfastly in prayer, being
watchful in it with thanksgiving. 3 At the
same time, pray also for us, that God may
open to us a door for the word, to declare
the mystery of Christ, on account of which I
am in prison-- 4 that I may make it clear,
which is how I ought to speak.

5 Walk in wisdom toward outsiders, making
the best use of the time. 6 Let your speech
always be gracious, seasoned with salt, so
that you may know how you ought to
answer each person.

denied himself many of the comforts and
pleasures of the world and became a
servant among them. They saw how the
things which they cherished - physical
satisfaction, popular acclaim, prestige - he
refused; while the things which they sought
to escape - poverty, humiliation, sorrow,
and even death - he accepted willingly for
their sake.” p. 63,

quot;One must ask, why are so many professed
Christians today stunted in their growth and
ineffectual in their witness? Or to put the
question in its larger context, why is the
contemporary church so frustrated in its
witness to the world? Is it not because
among the clergy and laity alike there is a
general indifference to the commands of
God, or at least a kind of contented
complacency with mediocrity?quot;

  • 5. Colossians 1:1-12
  • 6. 1 Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, and Timothy our brother, 2 To the saints and faithful brothers in Christ at Colossae: Grace to you and peace from God our Father. 3 We always thank God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, when we pray for you, 4 since we heard of your faith in Christ Jesus and of the love that you have for all the saints, 5 because of the hope laid up for you in heaven.
  • 7. Of this you have heard before in the word of the truth, the gospel, 6 which has come to you, as indeed in the whole world it is bearing fruit and growing--as it also does among you, since the day you heard it and understood the grace of God in truth, 7 just as you learned it from Epaphras our beloved fellow servant. He is a faithful minister of Christ on your behalf 8 and has made known to us your love in the Spirit.
  • 8. 9 And so, from the day we heard, we have not ceased to pray for you, asking that you may be filled with the knowledge of his will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding, 10 so as to walk in a manner worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing to him, bearing fruit in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God. 11 May you be strengthened with all power, according to his glorious might, for all endurance and patience with joy, 12 giving thanks to the Father, who has qualified you to share in the inheritance of the saints in light.

  • 22. Colossians 1:13-29
  • 23. 13 He has delivered us from the domain of darkness and transferred us to the kingdom of his beloved Son, 14 in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins. 15 He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation. 16 For by him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities--all things were created through him and for him. 17 And he is before all things, and in him all things hold together. 18 And he is the head of the body, the church. He is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in everything he might be preeminent.
  • 24. 19 For in him all the fullness of God was pleased to dwell, 20 and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether on earth or in heaven, making peace by the blood of his cross. 21 And you, who once were alienated and hostile in mind, doing evil deeds, 22 he has now reconciled in his body of flesh by his death, in order to present you holy and blameless and above reproach before him, 23 if indeed you continue in the faith, stable and steadfast, not shifting from the hope of the gospel that you heard, which has been proclaimed in all creation under heaven, and of which I, Paul, became a minister.
  • 25. 24 Now I rejoice in my sufferings for your sake, and in my flesh I am filling up what is lacking in Christ's afflictions for the sake of his body, that is, the church, 25 of which I became a minister according to the stewardship from God that was given to me for you, to make the word of God fully known, 26 the mystery hidden for ages and generations but now revealed to his saints. 27 To them God chose to make known how great among the Gentiles are the riches of the glory of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.
  • 26. 28 Him we proclaim, warning everyone and teaching everyone with all wisdom, that we may present everyone mature in Christ. 29 For this I toil, struggling with all his energy that he powerfully works within me.

  • 41. Colossians 2:1-15
  • 43. 1 For I want you to know how great a struggle I have for you and for those at Laodicea and for all who have not seen me face to face, 2 that their hearts may be encouraged, being knit together in love, to reach all the riches of full assurance of understanding and the knowledge of God's mystery, which is Christ, 3 in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. 4 I say this in order that no one may delude you with plausible arguments. 5 For though I am absent in body, yet I am with you in spirit, rejoicing to see your good order and the firmness of your faith in Christ.
  • 45. 6 Therefore, as you received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in him, 7 rooted and built up in him and established in the faith, just as you were taught, abounding in thanksgiving.
  • 47. 8 See to it that no one takes you captive by philosophy and empty deceit, according to human tradition, according to the elemental spirits of the world, and not according to Christ. 9 For in him the whole fullness of deity dwells bodily, 10 and you have been filled in him, who is the head of all rule and authority. 11 In him also you were circumcised with a circumcision made without hands, by putting off the body of the flesh, by the circumcision of Christ, 12 having been buried with him in baptism, in which you were also raised with him through faith in the powerful working of God, who raised him from the dead.
  • 49. 13 And you, who were dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, God made alive together with him, having forgiven us all our trespasses, 14 by canceling the record of debt that stood against us with its legal demands. This he set aside, nailing it to the cross. 15 He disarmed the rulers and authorities and put them to open shame, by triumphing over them in him.

  • 61. Can We Relate Wealthiest Country in the World Our economy impacts the world economy It seems that our focus is blurry at best Are we “lukewarm”? If we would cling to Christ, could we see clearly in the fog of our lives?
  • 63. 1 If then you have been raised with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. 2 Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth. 3 For you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. 4 When Christ who is your life appears, then you also will appear with him in glory.

  • 82. 22 Wives, submit to your own husbands, as to the Lord. 23 For the husband is the head of the wife even as Christ is the head of the church, his body, and is himself its Savior. 24 Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit in everything to their husbands. 25 Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her, 26 that he might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word, 27 so that he might present the church to himself in splendor, without spot or wrinkle or any such thing, that she might be holy and without blemish.
  • 83. 28 In this same way, husbands ought to love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself. 29 After all, people have never hated their own bodies, but they feed and care for them, just as Christ does the church— 30 for we are members of his body. 31 “For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh.” 32 This is a profound mystery— but I am talking about Christ and the church. 33 However, each one of you also must love his wife as he loves himself, and the wife must respect her husband.

Letter sent with Tychicus (eph. 6:21) along with Philemon & Ephesians (Philemon layed foundation for ending slavery)
  3. The false teaching being addressed by Paul has been a mystery to scholars. Used to think it was Gnostic teaching, but other sources take us away from that thought. Jewish influence of ritual, outside pagan animism, or a charismatic leader in the church was putting the focus on self. New research into the culture of the area suggests another possibility which we will examine to some extent. “rejection of the Roman cultural influences” of power and prosperity over Christ.

  23. Where did tension in marriage come from? Romans 1 “You are turning away [from God!] to your husband, and [as a result] he will rule over you [take advantage of you].” Though this text only predicts how some husbands will take advantage of their wives when the wives turn to their husbands after turning away from God, some argue that this second verb should be rendered “he shall rule over you.” tsûuîqaîh = TURNING
  24. In this passage, however, the closest Paul comes to defining submission is “respect” (v. 33), and in the Greek text, wifely submission to a husband (v. 22) is only one example of general mutual submission of Christians (the verb of v. 22 is borrowed directly from v. 21 and thus cannot mean something different).
