Colossians 1:3-8 - Thanksgiving For The Colossian Believers
3 We give thanks to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, always praying for you, 4 having heard of your faith in Christ Jesus, and the love ye show to all the saints; 5 because of the hope laid up for you in the heavens, which ye have heard before in the word of truth, the gospel, 6 which is come unto you, as it is also unto all the world; and beareth fruit, as also among you, from the day that ye heard and knew the grace of God in truth; 7 even as ye have learned from Epaphras our beloved fellow-labourer, who is a faithful minister of Christ for you; 8 who also declared to us your love in the Spirit.
