Colossians 1:3-8
Legacy Standard Bible

3 (A)We give thanks to God, (B)the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, praying always for you, 4 (C)since we heard of your faith in Christ Jesus and the (D)love which you have [a]for (E)all the [b]saints, 5 because of the (F)hope (G)laid up for you in [c]heaven, of which you previously (H)heard in the word of truth, [d]the gospel 6 which has come to you, just as [e](I)in all the world also it is constantly bearing (J)fruit and [f]multiplying, just as it has been doing in you also since the day you (K)heard and [g]understood the grace of God in truth; 7 just as you learned it from (L)Epaphras, our (M)beloved fellow slave, who is a faithful servant of Christ on our behalf, 8 who also informed us of your (N)love in the Spirit.

Colossians 1:3-8
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) 7 You learned this from Epaphras,(F) our dearly loved fellow servant. He is a faithful minister of Christ(G) on your[b] behalf, 8 and he has told us about your love in the Spirit.(H)
