Colossians 1:4-11
41since we heard of your faith in Christ Jesus and the 2love which you have 3for 4all the 5saints; 5because of the 6hope 7reserved for you in 8heaven, of which you previously 9heard in the word of truth, 10the gospel 6which has come to you, just as 1112in all the world also it is bearing 13fruit and 14increasing, even as it has been doing in you also since the day you 15heard it and 16understood the grace of God in truth; 7just as you learned it from 17Epaphras, our 18beloved fellow bond-servant, who is a faithful servant of Christ on our behalf, 8and he also informed us of your 19love in the Spirit.
9For this reason we also, 20since the day we heard about it, 21have not ceased praying for you and asking that you may be filled with the 2223knowledge of His will in all spiritual 24wisdom and understanding, 10so that you will 25walk in a manner worthy of the Lord, 2627to please Him in all respects, 28bearing fruit in every good work and 29increasing in the 30knowledge of God; 1131strengthened with all power, according to 32His glorious might, 33for the attaining of all perseverance and 34patience; 35joyously
