Colossians 1:5-7

Living Bible

⁵ And you are looking forward to the joys of heaven, and have been ever since the Gospel first was preached to you. ⁶ The same Good News that came to you is going out all over the world and changing lives everywhere, just as it changed yours that very first day you heard it and understood about God’s great kindness to sinners.

⁷ Epaphras, our much-loved fellow worker, was the one who brought you this Good News. He is Jesus Christ’s faithful slave, here to help us in your place.
