dby@Colossians:1:3 @ We give thanks to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ continually [when] praying for you,

dby@Colossians:1:4 @ having heard of your faith in Christ Jesus, and the love which ye have towards all the saints,

dby@Colossians:1:5 @ on account of the hope which [is] laid up for you in the heavens; of which ye heard before in the word of the truth of the glad tidings,

dby@Colossians:1:6 @ which are come to you, as [they are] in all the world, [and] are bearing fruit and growing, even as also among you, from the day ye heard [them] and knew indeed the grace of God, in truth:

dby@Colossians:1:7 @ even as ye learned from Epaphras our beloved fellow-bondman, who is a faithful minister of Christ for you,

dby@Colossians:1:8 @ who has also manifested to us your love in [the] Spirit.

dby@Colossians:1:9 @ For this reason we also, from the day we heard [of your faith and love], do not cease praying and asking for you, to the end that ye may be filled with the full knowledge of his will, in all wisdom and spiritual understanding,

dby@Colossians:1:11 @ strengthened with all power according to the might of his glory unto all endurance and longsuffering with joy;

dby@Colossians:1:12 @ giving thanks to the Father, who has made us fit for sharing the portion of the saints in light,

dby@Colossians:1:13 @ who has delivered us from the authority of darkness, and translated [us] into the kingdom of the Son of his love:

dby@Colossians:1:14 @ in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins;
