PAUL'S WORDS TO THE GENTILES

 COLLOSIANS POWER IN SPIRITUAL WISDOM COLLOSS CHAPTER 1

THEREFORE WE ALSO, SIN THE DAY WE HEARD OF IT, DO NOT CEASE PRAYING AND ASKING ON YOUR BEHALF THAT YOU MAY BE FILLED WITH THE FULL  KNOWLEDGE OF HIS WILL IN ALL SPIRITUAL WISDOM AND UNDERSTANDING. TO WALK WORTHILY OF LORD TO PLEASE HIM IN ALL THINGS , BEARING FRUIT IN EVERY GOOD WORK AND GROWING BY THE FULL KNOWLEDGE OF GOD.  BEING EMPOWERED WITH ALL POWER  , ACCORDING TO THE MIGHT OF HIS GLORY, UNTO ALL ENDURANCE AND LONG-SUFFERING WITH JOY. GIVING THANKS TO THE FATHER, WHO HAS QUALIFIED YOU FOR A SHARE OF THE ALLOTTED PORTION OF THE SAINTS IN THE LIGHT. WHO DELIVERED US OUT OF THE AUTHORITY OF DARKNESS.

PAUL PREACHED WISDOM TO THE CHURCH IN ROME. WE OBTAIN SPIRITUAL KNOWLEDGE THROUGH THE WORD OF GOD. WE MUST BE EMPOWERED THROUGH THE AUTHORITY OF CHRIST JESUS WHO GAVE UP HIS LIFE FOR US, WE ARE SEALED THROUGH HIS PRECIOUS BLOOD . HE IS OUR REDEEMER. WE PARTAKE IN HIS SPIRIT, FLESH IS CRUXCIFIED ;WE LIVE IN HIM AND HE IS RIGHTEOUS. WE CAN DO ALL THINGS THROUGH CHRIST WHO STRENGTHENS US. TO BE ABSENT FROM THE BODY IS TO BE PRESENT WITH THE LORD. PRESENT=BEING AT HAND, WITHIN REACH OR CALL, WITHIN CERTAIN CONTEMPLATED LIMITS-OPPOSED TO ABSENT.
