Colossians says There is a hope, a joyful expectation that has been laid up in Heaven for us. vs 5. Which we heard in the truth of the Gospel. This joyful expectation is present with us to walk worthy of the Lord. Bearing fruit in every good work. And Increasing in the recognition of God. Being endued~ in all power, in accord with the mightiness of His *glory, into all endurance and patience with joy. Giving thanks to the Father. The One who has made and continues to make us competent, partakers of the inheritance of the saints, in light. Rescuing us out of the power of darkness. Transferring us into the kingdom of His Son of His love. In Whom we have deliverance, the remission, removal of the sins through His blood that are past. And through him all things consist, are held together, including us. For in Him we live, move and have our being. For we are Reconciled in the body of His flesh through His death to present us holy and unblameable and unreproveable in his sight through His resurrection: IF WE CONTINUE in the faith grounded and settled and not moved away from the hope (expectation) of the gospel. The expectation laid up in heaven for us. The mystery which hath been hid from ages and from generations, but now is made manifest to his saints: To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope, expectation of glory, the MYSTERY to which Paul speaks. Which we preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom; that we may present every man perfect, Holy, unblameable and unreprovable in and through Christ Jesus. Being rescued from the power of darkness being translated into the Kingdom, the Body of Christ, the Temple of God. Wherein we labour, striving according to his working, which worketh in us mightily.

That our hearts be comforted, knitted together in love. In full assurance of the understanding and the acknowledgment of the Mystery of God which is Christ in you the hope. joyful expectation of His glory. In whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge so we are not beguiled by enticing words and that we remain steadfast in in the faith of Christ Jesus. In that we whom have received Christ, Christ in you, so walk ye in Him.

Rooted and built up in Him. Established in the faith. Rescued from the power of darkness. Translated into the Kingdom of His dear Son. Made competent to present us Holy, unblamable and unreprovable in His sight.

Therefore Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments, the first principles of the world, and not after Christ. For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily. And we are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power: In whom also we are circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ: Buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with him being dead in our sins and the uncircumcision of our flesh, hath he quickened together with him, therefore we walk in newness of life. Wherein we labour, striving according to his working, which works in us mightily. Being endued with all power in accordance with the mightiness of His Glory in Christ Jesus.

Having been forgiven all trespasses; having made peace through the blood of his cross, reconciling all things unto himself the deliverance, the remission, removal of the sins through His blood. Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances, the certificate of indebtedness. What we owed because of our sin according to the hand writing of ordinances, the certificate of indebtedness that Moses penned due to our sin. For this is that which was against us. And is that which was contrary to us. This He took out of the way, nailing it to his cross. Spoiling THESE principalities, that which was first established and it's power nailing it to the cross. Making a show of them openly. Therefore, because of what was just said, let no man, judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath, these which are of those handwriting of ordinances. That which was written because of our sin and therefore done away with at the cross. For we have been forgiven of all our trespasses. For they were a shadow of things to come, but the body, the church (vs.1:18,24) is of Christ.

We can never learn if we think we are learnt. The greatest thing we can know is we don't know anything. At that point we can learn.

Many teach, but not many been taught.


YOU GOD have given us all things that pertain to life and godliness. For it is You that works in us both to will and do Your Good pleasure. LORD we believe thank you for helping our unbelief, AMEN!

@Him, you seem to have quoted or paraphrased the first two chapters of Colossians. What version did you use? The KJV? And what point or question do you want to make about it? The next two chapters supply many of Paul's commands about the truths of the chapters you quoted. What is their relationship?

It is a summary of sorts using the text to expound on the text.
