11Paul, 2an apostle of Christ Jesus 34by the will of God, and 5Timothy 6our brother,
2To the 78saints and faithful brothers and sisters in Christ who are at Colossae: 9Grace to you and peace from God our Father.
310We 11give thanks to God, 12the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, praying always for you, 413since we heard of your faith in Christ Jesus and the 14love which you have 15for 16all the 17saints; 5because of the 18hope 19reserved for you in 20heaven, of which you previously 21heard in the word of truth, 22the gospel 6which has come to you, just as 2324in all the world also it is bearing 25fruit and 26increasing, even as it has been doing in you also since the day you 27heard it and 28understood the grace of God in truth; 7just as you learned it from 29Epaphras, our 30beloved fellow bond-servant, who is a faithful servant of Christ on our behalf, 8and he also informed us of your 31love in the Spirit.
