              Paul’s Letter To The

                     Colossians

1 - (From) Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ, by the will of God, and Timothy our brother,

     2 To the saints and faithful brothers and sisters in Christ at Colossae: Grace to you and peace from God our Father!

     3 We always thank God, the Father of our Lord Jesus, when we pray for you, 4 because we have heard of your faith in Him. And we have heard of the love you have for all the saints [hagios - sacred, set apart] 5 because of the hope [elpis - expectation] being laid up for you in heaven. Which you heard of before in the message of truth, the gospel, 6 which has come to you. And indeed in all the world the message is bearing fruit and increasing, as it also is doing among you in Colossae since the day you heard and understood it - understood the grace of God in truth, 7 just as you learned it from Epaphras our beloved brother. He is a faithful servant and minister of Christ on your behalf, 8 and he has made known to us your love and affection in the Spirit.
