Colossians 1:6-9

6that has come to you. It is bearing fruit and growing all over the world, just as it has among you since the day you heard it and came to truly appreciate God’s grace.

7You learned this from Epaphras, our dearly loved fellow servant. He is a faithful minister of Christ on your behalf,

8and he has told us about your love in the Spirit.

9For this reason also, since the day we heard this, we haven’t stopped praying for you. We are asking that you may be filled with the knowledge of his will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding,
