Colossians 1:3-8

3 1We 2give thanks to God, 3the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, praying always for you, 4 4since we heard of your faith in Christ Jesus and the 5love which you have 6for 7all the 8saints; 5because of the 9hope 10reserved for you in 11heaven, of which you previously 12heard in the word of truth, 13the gospel 6which has come to you, just as 14 15in all the world also it is bearing 16fruit and 17increasing, even as it has been doing in you also since the day you 18heard it and 19understood the grace of God in truth; 7just as you learned it from 20Epaphras, our 21beloved fellow bond-servant, who is a faithful servant of Christ on our behalf, 8and he also informed us of your 22love in the Spirit.
