Colossians 4:4–7

¹THEREFORE seeing we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we faint not;

²But have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man’s conscience in the sight of God.

³But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost:

⁴In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.

¹¶ Therefore, seeing we haue this ministery, as we haue receiued mercie wee faint not:

²But haue renounced the hidden things of ^†dishonesty, not walking in craftines, nor handling the word of God deceitfully, but by manifestation of the trueth, commending our selues to euery mans conscience, in the sight of God.

³But if our Gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost:

⁴In whom the God of this world hath blinded the minds of them which beleeue not, lest the light of the glorious Gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine vnto them.

²⁰For which I am an ambassador in bonds: that therein I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak.

⁴And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man’s wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power:

⁵That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.

⁴And my speech, and my preaching ^* was not with ^‖entising words of mans wisedome, but in demonstration of the Spirit, and of power:

⁵That your faith should not ^†stand in the wisdome of men, but in the power of God.

¹⁴Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest the savour of his knowledge by us in every place.

¹⁵For we are unto God a sweet savour of Christ, in them that are saved, and in them that perish:

¹⁶To the one we are the savour of death unto death; and to the other the savour of life unto life. And who is sufficient for these things?

¹⁷For we are not as many, which corrupt the word of God: but as of sincerity, but as of God, in the sight of God speak we in Christ.

¹⁴Now thankes bee vnto God, which alwayes causeth vs to triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest the sauour of his knowledge by vs in euery place.

¹⁵For wee are vnto God, a sweet sauour of Christ, in them that are saued, and in them that perish.

¹⁶To the one wee are the sauour of death vnto death; and to the other, the sauour of life vnto life: and who is sufficient for these things?

¹⁷For wee are not as many which ^‖corrupt the word of God: but as of sinceritie, but as of God, in the sight of God speake we in Christ.

¹²Seeing then that we have such hope, we use great plainness of speech:

¹²Seeing then that wee haue such hope, we vse great ^‖plainnesse of speech.

²⁹And now, Lord, behold their threatenings: and grant unto thy servants, that with all boldness they may speak thy word,

²⁹And now Lord, behold their threatnings, and graunt vnto thy seruants, that with all boldnesse they may speake thy word,

²⁹¶ Then Peter and the other apostles answered and said, We ought to obey God rather than men.

²⁹¶ Then Peter, and the other Apostles answered, and saide, Wee ought to obey God rather then men.

²⁶Fear them not therefore: for there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; and hid, that shall not be known.

²⁷What I tell you in darkness, that speak ye in light: and what ye hear in the ear, that preach ye upon the housetops.

²⁶Feare them not therefore: ^*for there is nothing couered, that shall not be reueiled; and hidde, that shall not be knowen.

²⁷What I tell you in darkenesse, that speake yee in light: and what yee heare in the eare, that preach yee vpon the house tops.

¹⁵See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise,

¹⁶Redeeming the time, because the days are evil.

¹⁷Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is.

^15*See then that yee walke circumspectly, not as fooles, but as wise,

¹⁶Redeming the time, because the dayes are euill.

¹⁷Wherefore be ye not vnwise, but vnderstanding what the will of the Lord is.

¹³Who is a wise man and endued with knowledge among you? let him shew out of a good conversation his works with meekness of wisdom.

¹³Who is a wise man and indued with knowledge amongst you? let him shew out of a good conuersation his workes with meekenes of wisedome.

¹²That ye may walk honestly toward them that are without, and that ye may have lack of nothing.

¹²That ye may walke honestly toward them that are without, and that ye may haue lacke of ^‖nothing.

¹⁷But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.

¹⁷But the wisedome that is from aboue, is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easie to be intreated, full of mercy, and good fruits, ^‖without partialitie, and without hypocrisie.

¹⁹For your obedience is come abroad unto all men. I am glad therefore on your behalf: but yet I would have you wise unto that which is good, and simple concerning evil.

¹⁹For your obedience is come abroad vnto all men. I am glad therefore on your behalfe: but yet I would haue you wise vnto that which is good, and ^‖simple concerning euill.

⁷Moreover he must have a good report of them which are without; lest he fall into reproach and the snare of the devil.

⁷Moreouer, hee must haue a good report of them which are without, lest he fall into reproch, and the snare of the deuill.

¹²For what have I to do to judge them also that are without? do not ye judge them that are within?

¹³But them that are without God judgeth. Therefore put away from among yourselves that wicked person.

¹²For what haue I to doe to iudge them also that are without? doe not ye iudge them that are within?

¹³But them that are without, God iudgeth. Therefore put away from among your selues that wicked person.

¹¹And he said unto them, Unto you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God: but unto them that are without, all these things are done in parables:

¹¹And he said vnto them, Unto you it is giuen to know the mystery of the kingdome of God: but vnto them that are without, all these things are done in parables:

⁵If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.

⁵If any of you lacke wisedome, let him aske of God, that giueth to all men liberally, and vpbraideth not: and it shalbe giuen him.

¹⁹Yet in the church I had rather speak five words with my understanding, that by my voice I might teach others also, than ten thousand words in an unknown tongue.

²⁰Brethren, be not children in understanding: howbeit in malice be ye children, but in understanding be men.

²¹In the law it is written, With men of other tongues and other lips will I speak unto this people; and yet for all that will they not hear me, saith the Lord.

²²Wherefore tongues are for a sign, not to them that believe, but to them that believe not: but prophesying serveth not for them that believe not, but for them which believe.

²³If therefore the whole church be come together into one place, and all speak with tongues, and there come in those that are unlearned, or unbelievers, will they not say that ye are mad?

²⁴But if all prophesy, and there come in one that believeth not, or one unlearned, he is convinced of all, he is judged of all:

²⁵And thus are the secrets of his heart made manifest; and so falling down on his face he will worship God, and report that God is in you of a truth.

¹⁹Yet in the Church I had rather speake fiue words with my vnderstanding, that by my voyce I might teach others also, then ten thousand words in an vnknowen tongue.

²⁰Brethren, bee not children in vnderstanding: how be it, in malice be yee children, but in vnderstanding be ^†men.

²¹In the Law it is ^*written, With men of other tongues, and other lippes will I speake vnto this people: and yet for all that will they not heare me, saith the Lord.

²²Wherfore tongues are for a signe, not to them that beleeue, but to them that beleeue not: But prophesying serueth not for them that beleeue not, but for them which beleeue.

²³If therefore the whole Church be come together into some place, and all speake with tongues, & there come in those that are vnlearned, or vnbeleeuers, will they not say that ye are mad?

²⁴But if all prophesie, and there come in one that beleeueth not, or one vnlearned: he is conuinced of all, he is iudged of all.

²⁵And thus are the secrets of his heart made manifest, and so falling downe on his face, hee will worship God, and report that God is in you of a trueth.

¹LIKEWISE, ye wives, be in subjection to your own husbands; that, if any obey not the word, they also may without the word be won by the conversation of the wives;

¹¶ Likewise, ye wiues, be in subiection to your owne husbands, that if any obey not the word, they also may without the word be wonne by the conuersation of the wiues:

¹²So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom.

^12†So teach vs to number our daies: that wee may apply our hearts vnto wisedome.

²⁹Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers.

¹⁵But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear:

¹⁵But sanctifie the Lord God in your hearts, & be ready alwayes to giue an answere to euery man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you, with meekenesse and ^‖feare:

¹²The words of a wise man’s mouth are gracious; but the lips of a fool will swallow up himself.

^12*†The words of a wise mans mouth are gratious: but the lips of a foole will swallow vp himselfe.

⁵⁰Salt is good: but if the salt have lost his saltness, wherewith will ye season it? Have salt in yourselves, and have peace one with another.

⁴A wholesome tongue is a tree of life: but perverseness therein is a breach in the spirit.

⁷The lips of the wise disperse knowledge: but the heart of the foolish doeth not so.

⁷The lippes of the wise disperse knowledge: but the heart of the foolish, doeth not so.

¹⁶Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.

^18†For it is a pleasant thing, if thou keepe them within thee; they shall withall be fitted in thy lippes.

²¹The wise in heart shall be called prudent: and the sweetness of the lips increaseth learning.

²²Understanding is a wellspring of life unto him that hath it: but the instruction of fools is folly.

²³The heart of the wise teacheth his mouth, and addeth learning to his lips.

²⁴Pleasant words are as an honeycomb, sweet to the soul, and health to the bones.

²¹The wise in heart shall be called prudent; and the sweetnesse of the lips increaseth learning.

^22*Understanding is a well-spring of life vnto him that hath it: but the instruction of fooles is folly.

^23†The heart of the wise teacheth his mouth, and addeth learning to his lippes.

²⁴Pleasant words are as an honycombe, sweete to the soule, and health to the bones.

¹³¶ Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men.

¹³¶ Yee are the salt of the earth: ^*But if the salt haue lost his sauour, wherewith shall it bee salted? It is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be troden vnder foote of men.

⁴Answer not a fool according to his folly, lest thou also be like unto him.

⁵Answer a fool according to his folly, lest he be wise in his own conceit.

⁴Answere not a foole according to his folly, lest thou also be like vnto him.

^5†Answere a foole according to his folly, lest hee be wise in his owne conceit.

³⁴O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh.

³⁵A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things.

²¹The lips of the righteous feed many: but fools die for want of wisdom.

^21†The lippes of the righteous feed many: but fooles die for want of wisedome.

¹¹A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in pictures of silver.

²⁰And they watched him, and sent forth spies, which should feign themselves just men, that they might take hold of his words, that so they might deliver him unto the power and authority of the governor.

²¹And they asked him, saying, Master, we know that thou sayest and teachest rightly, neither acceptest thou the person of any, but teachest the way of God truly:

²²Is it lawful for us to give tribute unto Cæsar, or no?

²³But he perceived their craftiness, and said unto them, Why tempt ye me?

²⁴Shew me a penny. Whose image and superscription hath it? They answered and said, Cæsar’s.

²⁵And he said unto them, Render therefore unto Cæsar the things which be Cæsar’s, and unto God the things which be God’s.

²⁶And they could not take hold of his words before the people: and they marvelled at his answer, and held their peace.

²⁷¶ Then came to him certain of the Sadducees, which deny that there is any resurrection; and they asked him,

²⁸Saying, Master, Moses wrote unto us, If any man’s brother die, having a wife, and he die without children, that his brother should take his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother.

²⁹There were therefore seven brethren: and the first took a wife, and died without children.

³⁰And the second took her to wife, and he died childless.

³¹And the third took her; and in like manner the seven also: and they left no children, and died.

³²Last of all the woman died also.

³³Therefore in the resurrection whose wife of them is she? for seven had her to wife.

³⁴And Jesus answering said unto them, The children of this world marry, and are given in marriage:

³⁵But they which shall be accounted worthy to obtain that world, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage:

³⁶Neither can they die any more: for they are equal unto the angels; and are the children of God, being the children of the resurrection.

³⁷Now that the dead are raised, even Moses shewed at the bush, when he calleth the Lord the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.

³⁸For he is not a God of the dead, but of the living: for all live unto him.

³⁹¶ Then certain of the scribes answering said, Master, thou hast well said.

⁴⁰And after that they durst not ask him any question at all.

²⁰And they watched him, and sent foorth spies, which should faine themselues iust men, that they might take holde of his words, that so they might deliuer him vnto the power and authoritie of the gouernour.

²¹And they asked him, saying, ^*Master, we know that thou sayest and teachest rightly, neither acceptest thou the person of any, but teachest the way of God ^‖truely.

²²Is it lawfull for vs to giue tribute vnto Cesar, or no?

²³But he perceiued their craftines, and said vnto them, Why tempt ye me?

²⁴Shew me a ^†peny: whose image and superscription hath it? They answered, and said, Cesars.

²⁵And he said vnto them, Render therefore vnto Cesar the things which be Cesars, and vnto God the things which be Gods.

²⁶And they could not take holde of his wordes before the people, and they marueiled at his answere, and helde their peace.

²⁷¶ ^*Then came to him certaine of the Sadduces (which denie that there is any resurrection) and they asked him,

²⁸Saying, Master, Moses wrote vnto vs, If any mans brother die, hauing a wife, and hee die without children, that his brother should take his wife, and raise vp seede vnto his brother.

²⁹There were therefore seuen brethren, and the first tooke a wife, and died without children.

³⁰And the second tooke her to wife, and he died childlesse.

³¹And the third tooke her, and in like maner the seuen also. And they left no children, and died.

³²Last of all the woman died also.

³³Therefore in the resurrection, whose wife of them is she? for seuen had her to wife.

³⁴And Iesus answering, said vnto them, The children of this world, marrie, and are giuen in marriage:

³⁵But they which shall be accompted worthy to obtaine that world, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marrie, nor are giuen in marriage.

³⁶Neither can they die any more; for they are equall vnto the Angels, and are the children of God, being the children of the resurrection.

³⁷Now that the dead are raised, ^*euen Moses shewed at the bush, when he calleth the Lord, the God of Abraham, and the God of Isahac, and the God of Iacob.

³⁸For he is not a God of the dead, but of the liuing for all liue vnto him.

³⁹¶ Then certaine of the Scribes answering, said, Master, Thou hast well said.

⁴⁰And after that, they durst not aske him any question at all.

²²And all bare him witness, and wondered at the gracious words which proceeded out of his mouth. And they said, Is not this Joseph’s son?

²²And all bare him witnesse, and wondered at the gracious wordes, which proceeded out of his mouth. And they said, Is not this Iosephs sonne?

¹⁶¶ Then they that feared the Lord spake often one to another: and the Lord hearkened, and heard it, and a book of remembrance was written before him for them that feared the Lord, and that thought upon his name.

¹⁷And they shall be mine, saith the Lord of hosts, in that day when I make up my jewels; and I will spare them, as a man spareth his own son that serveth him.

¹⁸Then shall ye return, and discern between the righteous and the wicked, between him that serveth God and him that serveth him not.

¹⁶¶ Then they that feared the LORD, spake often one to another, and the LORD hearkened and heard it, & a booke of remembrance was written before him, for them that feared the LORD, & that thought vpon his name.

^17‖And they shall be mine, saith the LORD of hosts, in that day when I make vp my iewels, and I wil spare them as a man spareth his owne sonne that serueth him.

¹⁸Then shall yee returne and discerne betweene the righteous and the wicked, betweene him that serueth God, and him that serueth him not.

¹³With my lips have I declared all the judgments of thy mouth.

¹³With my lips haue I declared all the iudgements of thy mouth.

²¹But that ye also may know my affairs, and how I do, Tychicus, a beloved brother and faithful minister in the Lord, shall make known to you all things:

¹²When I shall send Artemas vnto thee, or Tychicus, be diligent to come vnto mee to Nicopolis: for I haue determined there to winter.

¹LET a man so account of us, as of the ministers of Christ, and stewards of the mysteries of God.

²Moreover it is required in stewards, that a man be found faithful.

³But with me it is a very small thing that I should be judged of you, or of man’s judgment: yea, I judge not mine own self.

⁴For I know nothing by myself; yet am I not hereby justified: but he that judgeth me is the Lord.

¹¶ Let a man so account of vs, as of the ministers of Christ, and stewards of the mysteries of God.

²Moreouer, it is required in stewards, that a man be found faithfull.
