Unchecked Copy BoxCol 1:22 - yet now hath he reconciled in the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and without blemish and unreproveable before him:

Unchecked Copy BoxCol 1:28 - whom we proclaim, admonishing every man and teaching every man in all wisdom, that we may present every man perfect in Christ;
Unchecked Copy BoxCol 1:29 - whereunto I labor also, striving according to his working, which worketh in me mightily.
