Colossians 1:3-8 (The Message)
3
Our prayers for you are always spilling over into thanksgivings. We can't quit thanking God our Father and Jesus our Messiah for you!
4
We keep getting reports on your steady faith in Christ, our Jesus, and the love you continuously extend to all Christians.
5
The lines of purpose in your lives never grow slack, tightly tied as they are to your future in heaven, kept taut by hope.
6
It's the same all over the world. The Message bears fruit and gets larger and stronger, just as it has in you. From the very first day you heard and recognized the truth of what God is doing, you've been hungry for more.
7
It's as vigorous in you now as when you learned it from our friend and close associate Epaphras. He is one reliable worker for Christ! I could always depend on him.
8
He's the one who told us how thoroughly love had been worked into your lives by the Spirit.
