Colossians:1:3-14
Seeker Overlay ON
*
We always thank God ,
the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ ,
when we pray for you ,
*
because we have heard of your faith in Christ Jesus and of the love which you have for all the saints ,
*
because of the hope laid up for you in heaven .
Of this you have heard before in the word of the truth ,
the gospel
*
which has come to you ,
as indeed in the whole world it is bearing fruit and growing--so among yourselves ,
from the day you heard and understood the grace of God in truth ,
*
as you learned it from Ep '
aphras our beloved fellow servant .
He is a faithful minister of Christ on our behalf
*
and has made known to us your love in the Spirit .
*
And so ,
from the day we heard of it ,
we have not ceased to pray for you ,
asking that you may be filled with the knowledge of his will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding ,
*
to lead a life worthy of the Lord ,
fully pleasing to him ,
bearing fruit in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God .
*
May you be strengthened with all power ,
according to his glorious might ,
for all endurance and patience with joy ,
*
giving thanks to the Father ,
who has qualified us to share in the inheritance of the saints in light .
*
He has delivered us from the dominion of darkness and transferred us to the kingdom of his beloved Son ,
*
in whom we have redemption ,
the forgiveness of sins .
