Colossians 1:5-9

Of this you have heard before in ^(C)the word of the truth, the gospel, ⁶ which has come to you, as indeed ^(D)in the whole world it is ^(E)bearing fruit and increasing—as it also does among you, since the day you ^(F)heard it and understood ^(G)the grace of God in truth, ⁷ just as you learned it from ^(H)Epaphras our beloved ^(I)fellow servant.^[a] He is ^(J)a faithful minister of Christ on your^[b] behalf ⁸ and has made known to us your ^(K)love in the Spirit.

⁹ And so, ^(L)from the day we heard, ^(M)we have not ceased to pray for you, asking that ^(N)you may be filled with the knowledge of his will in all ^(O)spiritual wisdom and understanding,
