Colossians 1:4-6

Expanded Bible

⁴ ·because we have [or ever since we; ^Lhaving] heard about the faith you have in Christ Jesus and the love you have for all ·of God’s people [^Tthe saints]. ⁵ You have this faith and love because of your hope, and what you hope for is ·kept safe [stored up; reserved] for you in heaven. You learned about this hope when you heard the ·message about the truth [or true message; ^Lword of truth], the ·Good News [Gospel] ⁶ that ·was told [^Lhas come] to you. [^L…just as] Everywhere in the world that ·Good News [Gospel] is ·bringing blessings [^Lbearing fruit] and is growing. This has happened with you, too, ·since [^Lfrom the day] you heard and ·understood the truth about [or truly understood] the grace of God.
