  • Thankfulness for Spiritual Attainments

  • |Colossenses 1:1| Paul, an apostle (special messenger, personally chosen representative) of Christ Jesus (the Messiah, the Anointed) by the will of God, and Timothy our brother,

  • |Colossenses 1:2| To the1 saints and faithful2 believers in Christ [who are] at Colossae: Grace to you and peace [inner calm and spiritual well-being] from God our Father.

  • |Colossenses 1:3| We give thanks to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, as we pray always for you,

  • |Colossenses 1:4| for we have heard of your faith in Christ Jesus [how you lean on Him with absolute confidence in His power, wisdom, and goodness], and of the [unselfish]3 love which you have for all the saints (God's people);

  • |Colossenses 1:5| because of the [confident] hope [of experiencing that] which is reserved and waiting for you in heaven. You previously heard of this hope in the message of truth, the gospel [regarding salvation]

  • |Colossenses 1:6| which has come to you. Indeed, just as in the whole world the gospel is constantly bearing fruit and spreading [by God's power], just as it has been doing among you ever since the day you first heard of it and understood the grace of God in truth [becoming thoroughly and deeply acquainted with it].

  • |Colossenses 1:7| You learned it from [our representative] Epaphras, our beloved fellow bond-servant, who is a faithful minister of Christ on our behalf

  • |Colossenses 1:8| and he also has told us of your love [well-grounded and nurtured] in the [Holy] Spirit.

  • |Colossenses 1:9| For this reason, since the day we heard about it, we have not stopped praying for you, asking [specifically] that you may be filled with the knowledge of His will in all spiritual wisdom [with insight into His purposes], and in understanding [of spiritual things],

  • |Colossenses 1:10| so that you will walk in a manner worthy of the Lord [displaying admirable character, moral courage, and personal integrity], to [fully] please Him in all things, bearing fruit in every good work and steadily growing in the knowledge of God [with deeper faith, clearer insight and fervent love for His precepts];
