Colossians 1:2-5

2To God’s holy people in Colossae, the faithful brothers and sisters in Christ: Grace and peace to you from God our Father.

3We always thank God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, when we pray for you,

4because we have heard of your faith in Christ Jesus and of the love you have for all God’s people—

5the faith and love that spring from the hope stored up for you in heaven and about which you have already heard in the true message of the gospel
