Colossians

Colossians 1:3–6

³We always thank God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, when we pray for you, ⁴because we have heard about your faith in Christ Jesus and your love for all the saints — ⁵the faith and love proceeding from the hope stored up for you in heaven, of which you have already heard in the word of truth, the gospel ⁶that has come to you.

All over the world this gospel is bearing fruit and growing, just as it has been doing among you since the day you heard it and truly understood the grace of God.
