Colossians 1:3-8
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
We Thank God For Your Faith And Love
3 We are giving-thanks to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, always while praying for you, 4 having heard-of your faith in Christ Jesus and the love which you have for all the saints 5 because of the hope being reserved for you in the heavens, which[a] you previously-heard-of in the word of the truth— the good-news 6 coming to you, just as also in[b] all the world it is bearing-fruit and growing, just as it is doing also in[c] you from which day you heard and understood the grace of God in truth[d], 7 just as you learned it from Epaphras, our beloved fellow-slave who is a faithful servant[e] of Christ on your behalf, 8 the one also having made-clear to us your love in[f] the Spirit.
