New International Reader’s Version

Col 3:11 Here there is no Gentile or Jew. There is no difference between those who are circumcised and those who are not. There is no rude outsider, or even a Scythian. There is no slave or free person. But Christ is everything. And he is in everything.Col 2:6 You received Christ Jesus as Lord. So keep on living your lives in him.Col 1:2 We are sending this letter to you, our brothers and sisters in Colossae. You belong to Christ. You are holy and faithful.

That is where Christ is. He is sitting at God’s right hand.Col 1:28 Christ is the one we preach about. With all the wisdom we have, we warn and teach everyone. When we bring them to God, we want them to be like Christ. We want them to be grown up as people who belong to Christ.Eph 4:13 That will continue until we all become one in the faith. We will also become one in the knowledge of God’s Son. Then we will be grown up in the faith. We will receive everything that Christ has for us.Col 3:12 You are God’s chosen people. You are holy and dearly loved. So put on tender mercy and kindness as if they were your clothes. Don’t be proud. Be gentle and patient.2Co 5:11 We know what it means to have respect for the Lord. So we try to help other people to understand it. What we are is plain to God. I hope it is also plain to your way of thinking.Eph 5:2 Lead a life of love, just as Christ did. He loved us. He gave himself up for us. He was a sweet-smelling offering and sacrifice to God.Php 3:15 So all of us who are grown up in the faith should see things this way. Maybe you think differently about something. But God will make it clear to you.Col 3:16 Let the message about Christ live among you like a rich treasure. Teach and correct one another wisely.

He also prays that you will be completely sure about it.Eph 3:18 May you have power together with all the Lord’s holy people to understand Christ’s love. May you know how wide and long and high and deep it is.Eph 2:18 Through Christ we both come to the Father by the power of one Holy Spirit.1Co 1:18 The message of the cross seems foolish to those who are lost and dying. But it is God’s power to us who are being saved.Eph 1:6 All those things bring praise to his glorious grace.

We can do it only with the help of Jesus Christ. Give him glory for ever and ever. Amen.Col 1:16 All things were created in him. He created everything in heaven and on earth. He created everything that can be seen and everything that can’t be seen. He created kings, powers, rulers and authorities. All things have been created by him and for him.Ro 5:10 Once we were God’s enemies. But we have been brought back to him because his Son has died for us. Now that God has brought us back, we are even more secure. We know that we will be saved because Christ lives.Col 2:10 Because you belong to Christ, you have been made complete. He is the ruler over every power and authority.Ga 2:20 I have been crucified with Christ. I don’t live any longer, but Christ lives in me. Now I live my life in my body by faith in the Son of God. He loved me and gave himself for me.Eph 2:1 You were living in your sins and lawless ways. But in fact you were dead.2Co 13:4 It is true that Christ was nailed to the cross because he was weak. But Christ lives by God’s power. In the same way, we share his weakness. But by God’s power we will live with Christ as we serve you.Eph 4:32 Be kind and tender to one another. Forgive one another, just as God forgave you because of what Christ has done.Col 2:13 At one time you were dead in your sins. Your desires controlled by sin were not circumcised.

We were locked up until this faith was made known.Re 1:5 May grace and peace come to you from Jesus Christ. He is the faithful witness, so what he has shown can be trusted. He was the first to rise from the dead. He rules over the kings of the earth. Glory and power belong to Jesus Christ who loves us! He has set us free from our sins by pouring out his blood for us.Eph 4:15 Instead, we will speak the truth in love. So we will grow up in every way to become the body of Christ. Christ is the head of the body.1Pe 4:11 If anyone speaks, they should do it as one speaking God’s words. If anyone serves, they should do it with the strength God provides.

May our God and Father himself and our Lord Jesus do this.Ro 7:4 My brothers and sisters, when Christ died you also died as far as the law is concerned. Then it became possible for you to belong to him. He was raised from the dead. Now our lives can be useful to God.Ro 15:16 to serve Christ Jesus among the Gentiles. I have the duty of a priest to preach God’s good news. Then the Gentiles will become an offering that pleases God. The Holy Spirit will make the offering holy.2Co 7:1 Dear friends, we have these promises from God. So let us make ourselves pure from everything that makes our bodies and spirits impure. Let us be completely holy. We want to honour God.Col 1:3 We always thank God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, when we pray for you.Ro 5:9 The blood of Christ has made us right with God.

When he appears again, you also will appear with him in heaven’s glory.Col 1:20 God was pleased to bring all things back to himself. That’s because of what Christ has done. These things include everything on earth and in heaven. God made peace through Christ’s blood, by his death on the cross.Heb 10:19 Brothers and sisters, we are not afraid to enter the Most Holy Room. We enter boldly because of the blood of Jesus.Col 1:10 Then you will be able to lead a life that is worthy of the Lord. We pray that you will please him in every way. So we want you to bear fruit in every good thing you do. We pray that you will grow to know God better.Col 1:18 And he is the head of the body, which is the church. He is the beginning. He is the first to be raised from the dead. That happened so that he would be far above everything.Ga 3:28 There is no Jew or Gentile. There is no slave or free person. There is no male or female.

We also thank God that the love you all have for one another is increasing.2Ti 1:10 It has now been made known through the coming of our Saviour, Christ Jesus. He has broken the power of death. Because of the good news, he has brought life out into the light. That life never dies.Ro 16:25 May God receive glory. He is able to strengthen your faith. He does this in keeping with the good news and the message I preach. It is the message about Jesus Christ. This message is in keeping with the mystery hidden for a very long time.Php 1:27 No matter what happens, live in a way that brings honour to the good news about Christ. Then I will know that you remain strong together in the one Spirit. I will know this if I come and see you or only hear about you. I will know that you work together as one person. I will know that you work to spread the teachings about the good news.Ro 15:6 Then you can give glory to God with one mind and voice. He is the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.Eph 6:10 Finally, let the Lord make you strong. Depend on his mighty power.Col 1:22 But because Christ died, God has brought you back to himself. Christ’s death has made you holy in God’s sight. So now you don’t have any flaw. You are free from blame.Col 1:7 You learned the good news from Epaphras. He is dear to us. He serves Christ together with us. He faithfully works for Christ and for us among you.Ro 13:11 When you do these things, keep in mind the times we are living in. The hour has already come for you to wake up from your sleep. The full effects of our salvation are closer now than when we first believed in Christ.Ga 3:27 This is because all of you who were baptised into Christ have put on Christ. You have put him on as if he were your clothes.1Co 6:14 By his power God raised the Lord from the dead.

And so everyone died.Eph 1:21 There Christ sits far above all who rule and have authority. He also sits far above all powers and kings. He is above every name that is appealed to in this world and in the world to come.Eph 3:21 Give him glory in the church and in Christ Jesus. Give him glory through all time and for ever and ever. Amen.1Jo 3:2 Dear friends, now we are children of God. He still hasn’t let us know what we will be. But we know that when Christ appears, we will be like him. That’s because we will see him as he really is.2Co 4:14 We know that God raised the Lord Jesus from the dead. And he will also raise us up with Jesus. And he will present both you and us to himself.1Ti 2:5 There is only one God. And there is only one go-between for God and human beings. He is the man Christ Jesus.Ro 3:24 The free gift of God’s grace makes us right with him. Christ Jesus paid the price to set us free.1Pe 4:1 Christ suffered in his body. So prepare yourselves to think in the same way Christ did. Do this because whoever suffers in their body is finished with sin.Heb 10:1 The law is only a shadow of the good things that are coming. It is not the real things themselves. The same sacrifices have to be offered over and over again. They must be offered year after year. That’s why the law can never make perfect those who come near to worship.Eph 1:3 Give praise to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. He has blessed us with every spiritual blessing. Those blessings come from the heavenly world. They belong to us because we belong to Christ.1Th 1:3 We remember you when we pray to our God and Father. Your work is produced by your faith. Your service is the result of your love. Your strength to continue comes from your hope in our Lord Jesus Christ.2Th 1:11 Keeping this in mind, we never stop praying for you. Our God has chosen you. We pray that he will make you worthy of his choice. We pray he will make every good thing you want to do come true. We pray that he will do this by his power. We pray that he will make perfect all that you have done by faith.Eph 4:14 We will no longer be babies in the faith. We won’t be like ships tossed around by the waves. We won’t be blown here and there by every new teaching. We won’t be blown around by cleverness and tricks. Certain people use them to hide their evil plans.Eph 3:17 Then Christ will live in your hearts because you believe in him. And I pray that your love will have deep roots. I pray that it will have a strong foundation.Ro 8:39 Not even the highest places or the lowest, or anything else in all creation can separate us. Nothing at all can ever separate us from God’s love. That’s because of what Christ Jesus our Lord has done.1Co 1:6 God has shown that what we have spoken to you about Christ is true.Col 2:7 Have your roots in him. Build yourselves up in him. Grow strong in what you believe, just as you were taught. Be more thankful than ever before.2Th 2:13 Brothers and sisters, we should always thank God for you. The Lord loves you. That’s because God chose you as the first to be saved. Salvation comes through the Holy Spirit’s work. He makes people holy. It also comes through believing the truth.Ro 15:18 I will speak about what Christ has done through me. I won’t try to speak about anything else. He has been leading the Gentiles to obey God. He has been doing this by what I have said and done.Ro 12:3 God’s grace has been given to me. So here is what I say to every one of you. Don’t think of yourself more highly than you should. Be reasonable when you think about yourself. Keep in mind the faith God has given to each of you.Col 2:3 All the treasures of wisdom and knowledge are hidden in him.1Jo 2:28 Dear children, remain joined to Christ. Then when he comes, we can be bold. We will not be ashamed to meet him when he comes.Col 3:15 Let the peace that Christ gives rule in your hearts. As parts of one body, you were appointed to live in peace. And be thankful.Eph 2:15 Through his body on the cross, Christ set aside the law with all its commands and rules. He planned to create one new people out of Jews and Gentiles. He wanted to make peace between them.2Co 7:2 Make room for us in your hearts. We haven’t done anything wrong to anyone. We haven’t caused anyone to sin. We haven’t taken advantage of anyone.2Co 5:4 While we live in this tent of ours, we groan under our heavy load. We don’t want to be naked. Instead, we want to be fully dressed with our house in heaven. What must die will be swallowed up by life.2Co 1:12 Here is what we take pride in. Our sense of what is right and wrong tells us how we have acted. We have lived with honour and godly honesty. We have depended on God’s grace and not on the world’s wisdom. We lived that way most of all when we were dealing with you.
