Colossians 1:3-8 - Thanksgiving For The Colossian Believers
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 you have to all the saints, 5 for the hope which is laid up for you in Heaven, of which you heard before in the Word of the truth of the gospel, 6 which has come to you as it has also in all the world, and it is bearing fruit, even also among you, since the day you heard and fully knew the grace of God in truth, 7 even as you learned from Epaphras our beloved fellow-servant, who is a faithful minister of Christ for you, 8 he also having shown your love in the Spirit to us.
