  1 Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus through the will of God, and Timothy our brother,

  2 to the saints and faithful brothers in Christ at Colossae: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

  7 even as you learned of Epaphras our beloved fellow servant, who is a faithful servant of Christ on your behalf,

  8 who also declared to us your love in the Spirit.

  9 For this cause, we also, since the day we heard this, don’t cease praying and making requests for you, that you may be filled with the knowledge of his will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding,

  10 that you may walk worthily of the Lord, to please him in all respects, bearing fruit in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God,

  11 strengthened with all power, according to the might of his glory, for all endurance and perseverance with joy,
