Colossians 1:3-6

We are always thankful to God the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ for you, and pray for you. We've heard about your trust in Christ Jesus and your love for all the believers because of the hope prepared for you in heaven. You already heard about this in the good news, the message of truth that came to you just as it has gone throughout the whole world, spreading widely and bringing results. It's done the same for you too, ever since you heard it and realized the true nature of God's grace.
