Colossians 1:4

New English Translation

⁴since^[a] we heard about your faith in Christ Jesus and the love that you have for all the saints.

Colossians 1:4 tn The adverbial participle ἀκούσαντες (akousantes) is understood to be temporal and translated with “since.” A causal idea may also be in the apostle’s mind, but the context emphasizes temporal ideas, e.g., “from the day” (v. 6).
