Colossians 1:3-8
New King James Version
Their Faith in Christ
3 (A)We give thanks to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, praying always for you, 4 (B)since we heard of your faith in Christ Jesus and of (C)your love for all the saints; 5 because of the hope (D)which is laid up for you in heaven, of which you heard before in the word of the truth of the gospel, 6 which has come to you, (E)as it has also in all the world, and (F)is bringing forth [a]fruit, as it is also among you since the day you heard and knew (G)the grace of God in truth; 7 as you also learned from (H)Epaphras, our dear fellow servant, who is (I)a faithful minister of Christ on your behalf, 8 who also declared to us your (J)love in the Spirit.
