Colossians 1:4-8

New American Standard Bible

^4 (A)since we heard of your faith in Christ Jesus and the ^(B)love which you have ^[a]for ^(C)all the ^[b]saints; ⁵ because of the ^(D)hope ^(E)reserved for you in ^[c]heaven, of which you previously ^(F)heard in the word of truth, ^[d]the gospel ⁶ which has come to you, just as ^[e](G)in all the world also it is bearing ^(H)fruit and ^[f]increasing, even as it has been doing in you also since the day you ^(I)heard it and ^[g]understood the grace of God in truth; ⁷ just as you learned it from ^(J)Epaphras, our ^(K)beloved fellow bond-servant, who is a faithful servant of Christ on our behalf, ⁸ and he also informed us of your ^(L)love in the Spirit.
