Colossians 1:7-10

7It was our good friend Epaphras who first told you this good news. Like us, he is Christ's servant. He serves Christ on our behalf.

8He has told us about the love that God's Spirit has given to you.

9Because of all that, we have not stopped praying for you, ever since the day that we heard about you. We ask God that his Spirit will make you truly wise. He will help you to know clearly what he wants you to do. You will understand his true message.

10Then you will be able to live in a way that the Lord wants you to live. Everything that you do will please him. We pray that all these good things will have good results. We pray that you will know God better and better.
