Colossians 1:4-6
New International Version
4 because we have heard of your faith in Christ Jesus and of the love(A) you have for all God’s people(B)— 5 the faith and love that spring from the hope(C) stored up for you in heaven(D) and about which you have already heard in the true message(E) of the gospel 6 that has come to you. In the same way, the gospel is bearing fruit(F) and growing throughout the whole world(G)—just as it has been doing among you since the day you heard it and truly understood God’s grace.
