Colossians:1:3-14
noyes@Colossians:1:3 @ We give thanks to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, praying always for you,
noyes@Colossians:1:4 @ since we heard of your faith in Christ Jesus, and of the love which ye have to all the saints,
noyes@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 gospel,
noyes@Colossians:1:6 @ which is come to you, as it is in all the world, and is bearing fruit and growing, as it doth also in you, from the day ye heard it, and knew the grace of God in truth;
noyes@Colossians:1:7 @ even as ye learned from Epaphras our beloved fellowservant, who is a faithful minister of Christ on your behalf;
noyes@Colossians:1:8 @ who also brought to our knowledge your love in the Spirit.
noyes@Colossians:1:9 @ On this account we also, from the day we heard of it, cease not to pray for you, and to ask that ye may be filled with the knowledge of his will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding;
noyes@Colossians:1:10 @ that ye may walk worthily of the Lord so as to please him in all things, bearing fruit in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God;
noyes@Colossians:1:11 @ endued with all power according to the might of his glory unto all patience and longsuffering with joy;
noyes@Colossians:1:12 @ giving thanks to the Father, who enabled us to share in the inheritance of the saints in the light;
noyes@Colossians:1:13 @ who rescued us from the empire of darkness, and transferred us into the kingdom of his beloved Son;
noyes@Colossians:1:14 @ in whom we have our redemption, the forgiveness of our sins;
