Colossians:1:3-14
Seeker Overlay ON
*
We give thanks to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ continually [
when ]
praying for you ,
*
having heard of your faith in Christ Jesus ,
and the love which ye have towards all the saints ,
*
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 ,
*
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 :
*
even as ye learned from Epaphras our beloved fellow-bondman ,
who is a faithful minister of Christ for you ,
*
who has also manifested to us your love in [
the ]
Spirit .
*
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 ,
* [
so as ]
to walk worthily of the Lord unto all well-pleasing ,
bearing fruit in every good work ,
and growing by the true knowledge of God ;
*
strengthened with all power according to the might of his glory unto all endurance and longsuffering with joy ;
*
giving thanks to the Father ,
who has made us fit for sharing the portion of the saints in light ,
*
who has delivered us from the authority of darkness ,
and translated [
us ]
into the kingdom of the Son of his love :
*
in whom we have redemption ,
the forgiveness of sins ;
