Colossians 1:3-6

Christian Standard Bible

Thanksgiving

³ We always thank God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, when we pray for you, ⁴ for we have heard of your faith in Christ Jesus and of the love you have for all the saints ⁵ because of the hope reserved for you in heaven. You have already heard about this hope in the word of truth,^(A) the gospel ⁶ that has come to you. It is bearing fruit^(B) and growing all over the world,^(C) just as it has among you since the day you heard it and came to truly appreciate^(D) God’s grace.^[a](E)
