Colossians
Colossians 1vs9-10 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, 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.
Colossians 1vs22-23 "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, 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."
Kolossense 1vs22-23 Maar nou het Hy ook julle met Homself versoen deurdat sy Seun as mens gesterwe het om julle heilig, sonder smet en onberispelik voor Hom te stel. Maar dan moet julle vas en sterk bly staan in die geloof en julle nie laat losruk van die hoop wat in julle gewek is deur die evangelie wat julle gehoor het nie. Dit is die evangelie wat aan al die mense op die aarde verkondig is en waarvan ek, Paulus, 'n dienaar geword het.
Colossians 1:21-23 “And you…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, if indeed you continue in the faith, stable and steadfast, not shifting from the hope of the gospel that you heard...”
And the world is passing away along with its desires, but whoever does the will of God abides forever.
