For the hope that is laid up for you in heaven, which you have heard in the word of the truth of the gospel,

Propter spe, que repone es ad vos in caelos: quam audi in verbo de veritate de Evangelio:

Which is come unto you, as also it is in the whole world and bringeth forth fruit and groweth, even as it doth in you, since the day you heard and knew the grace of God in truth.

Quod perveni ad vos, sicut et in universa mundo es, et fructifica, et cresce sicut in vos, ex illa die, quo audi, et cognosce gratia de Deo in veritate,

sicut didicistis ab Epaphra carissimo conservo nostro, qui est fidelis pro vobis minister Christi Jesu,

As you learned of Epaphras, our most beloved fellow servant, who is for you a faithful minister of Christ Jesus;

Sicut disce ab Epaphra carissimo conservo nostro, qui es fideli pro vos ministro de Christo de Iesu,

qui etiam manifestavit nobis dilectionem vestram in spiritu.

Who also hath manifested your love in the spirit.

Ideo et nos ex qua die audivimus, non cessamus pro vobis orantes, et postulantes ut impleamini agnitione voluntatis ejus, in omni sapientia et intellectu spiritali:

Therefore we also, from the day that we heard it, cease not to pray for you and to beg that you may be filled with the knowledge of his will, in all wisdom and spiritual understanding:

Ideo et nos ex quo die audi, non cessa pro vos ora, et postula ut imple agnitione de voluntate de illo, in omni sapientia et intellectu spiritali:

ut ambuletis digne Deo per omnia placentes: in omni opere bono fructificantes, et crescentes in scientia Dei:

That you may walk worthy of God, in all things pleasing; being fruitful in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God:

gratias agentes Deo Patri, qui dignos nos fecit in partem sortis sanctorum in lumine:

Giving thanks to God the Father, who hath made us worthy to be partakers of the lot of the saints in light:

Gratias age ad Deo ad Patre, qui digna fac nos in parte de sorto sancto in lumine:

qui eripuit nos de potestate tenebrarum, et transtulit in regnum filii dilectionis suæ,

Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness and hath translated us into the kingdom of the Son of his love,

Qui eripe nos de potestate de tenebras, et transfer in regno de filio de dilectione suo,

in quo habemus redemptionem per sanguinem ejus, remissionem peccatorum:

In whom we have redemption through his blood, the remission of sins:

In quo habe redemptione per sanguine de illo, remissione de peccatos:

qui est imago Dei invisibilis, primogenitus omnis creaturæ:

Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature:

Qui es imagine de Deo invisibili, primogenito omni de creatura:

quoniam in ipso condita sunt universa in cælis, et in terra, visibilia, et invisibilia, sive throni, sive dominationes, sive principatus, sive potestates: omnia per ipsum et in ipso creata sunt:

For in him were all things created in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones, or dominations, or principalities, or powers. All things were created by him and in him.

Quia in ipso conde es universa in caelos, et in terra, visibile, et invisibili, sive thronos, sive dominationes, sive principatus, sive potestates: omni per ipso et in ipso crea es:

et ipse est ante omnes, et omnia in ipso constant.

And he is before all: and by him all things consist.

Et ipso es ante omni, et omni in ipso consta.

Et ipse est caput corporis Ecclesiæ, qui est principium, primogenitus ex mortuis: ut sit in omnibus ipse primatum tenens:

And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in all things he may hold the primacy:

Et ipso es capite de corpore de Ecclesia, qui es principio, primogenito ex mortuo: ut es in omni ipso primatu tene:

quia in ipso complacuit, omnem plenitudinem inhabitare:

Because in him, it hath well pleased the Father that all fulness should dwell:

Quia in ipso complace, omni plenitudine inhabita:

et per eum reconciliare omnia in ipsum, pacificans per sanguinem crucis ejus, sive quæ in terris, sive quæ in cælis sunt.

And through him to reconcile all things unto himself, making peace through the blood of his cross, both as to the things that are on earth and the things that are in heaven.

Et per illo reconcilia omni in ipso, pacificor per sanguine de cruce de illo, sive que in terras, sive que in caelos es.

Et vos cum essetis aliquando alienati, et inimici sensu in operibus malis:

And you, whereas you were some time alienated and enemies in mind in evil works:

Et vos cum es aliquando aliena, et inimicos sensu in operes malo:

nunc autem reconciliavit in corpore carnis ejus per mortem, exhibere vos sanctos, et immaculatos, et irreprehensibiles coram ipso:

Yet now he hath reconciled in the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and unspotted and blameless before him:

Nunc autem reconcilia in corpore de carne de illo per morte, exhibe vos sancto, et immacula, et irreprehensibile coram ipso:

si tamen permanetis in fide fundati, et stabiles, et immobiles a spe Evangelii, quod audistis, quod prædicatum est in universa creatura, quæ sub cælo est, cujus factus sum ego Paulus minister.

If so ye continue in the faith, grounded and settled, and immoveable from the hope of the gospel which you have heard, which is preached in all the creation that is under heaven: whereof I Paul am made a minister.

Si tamen permane in fide funde, et stabile, et immobile ab spe de Evangelio, quod audi, quod praedica es in universa creatura, que sub caelo es, de que facto es me Paulo ministro.

Qui nunc gaudeo in passionibus pro vobis, et adimpleo ea quæ desunt passionum Christi, in carne mea pro corpore ejus, quod est Ecclesia:

Who now rejoice in my sufferings for you and fill up those things that are wanting of the sufferings of Christ, in my flesh, for his body, which is the church:

Qui nunc gaude in passiones pro vos, et adimple illa que desume de passiones de Christo, in carne meo pro corpore de illo, quod es Ecclesia:

cujus factus sum ego minister secundum dispensationem Dei, quæ data est mihi in vos, ut impleam verbum Dei:

Whereof I am made a minister according to the dispensation of God, which is given me towards you, that I may fulfil the word of God:

De que facto es me ministro secundo dispensatione de Deo, que da es ad me in vos, ut imple verbo de Deo:

mysterium, quod absconditum fuit a sæculis, et generationibus, nunc autem manifestatum est sanctis ejus,

The mystery which hath been hidden from ages and generations, but now is manifested to his saints,

Mysterio, quod absconditus es ab saeculos, et generationes, nunc autem manifesta es ad sancto de illo,

quibus voluit Deus notas facere divitias gloriæ sacramenti hujus in gentibus, quod est Christus, in vobis spes gloriæ,

To whom God would make known the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles, which is Christ, in you the hope of glory.

Ad que Deo vol noto facere divitias de gloria de sacramento de hoc in gentes, quod es Christo, in vos spe de gloria,

quem nos annuntiamus, corripientes omnem hominem, et docentes omnem hominem, in omni sapientia, ut exhibeamus omnem hominem perfectum in Christo Jesu:

Whom we preach, admonishing every man and teaching every man in all wisdom, that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus.

in quo et laboro, certando secundum operationem ejus, quam operatur in me in virtute.

Wherein also I labour, striving according to his working which he worketh in me in power.

In quo et labora, certo secundo operatione de illo, quam operor in me in virtute.
