1 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and Timotheus our brother, |
2 To the saints and faithful brethren in Christ which are at Colosse: Grace be unto you, and peace, from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. |
3 We give thanks to God and the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, praying always for you, |
4 Since we heard of your faith in Christ Jesus, and of the love which ye have to all the saints, |
5 For the hope which is laid up for you in heaven, whereof ye heard before in the word of the truth of the gospel; |
6 Which is come unto you, as it is in all the world; and bringeth forth fruit, as it doth also in you, since the day ye heard of it, and knew the grace of God in truth: |
