Colossians 1:3-8 - Thanksgiving For The Colossian Believers
3 We thank the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, praying always for you, 4 having heard of your faith in Christ Jesus and the love which you have for all the saints, 5 on account of the hope laid up for you in heaven, of which you heard before in the true word of the gospel 6 which is present with you as also in all the world, and is fruitful and increases, as also with you, from the day that you heard and knew the grace of God in truth; 7 as you learned from Epaphras our beloved fellow-servant, who is a faithful minister of Christ for you, 8 and who made known to us your love in the Spirit.
