Colossians 1:7-10

7even as ye learned from Epaphras our beloved fellow-bondman, who is a faithful minister of Christ for you,

8who has also manifested to us your love in [the] Spirit.

9For this reason we also, from the day we heard [of your faith and love], do not cease praying and asking for you, to the end that ye may be filled with the full knowledge of his will, in all wisdom and spiritual understanding,

10[so as] to walk worthily of the Lord unto all well-pleasing, bearing fruit in every good work, and growing by the true knowledge of 1God;
