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
International Standard Version

Paul’s Prayer for the Colossians

3 We give thanks to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus, the Messiah,[a] praying always for you, 4 because we have heard about your faith in the Messiah[b] Jesus and the love that you have for all the saints, 5 based on the hope laid up for you in heaven. Some time ago you heard about this hope[c] through the word of truth, the gospel 6 that has come to you. Just as it is bearing fruit and spreading all over the world, so it has been doing[d] among you from the day you heard it and came to know the grace of God in truth. 7 You learned about this gospel[e] from Epaphras, our dear fellow servant, who is a faithful minister of the Messiah[f] on your[g] behalf. 8 He has told us about your love in the Spirit.
