1 From Paul, who by God's will is an apostle of Christ Jesus, and from our brother Timothy —
2 To God's people in Colossae, who are our faithful brothers and sisters in union with Christ:May God our Father give you grace and peace.
3 We always give thanks to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, when we pray for you.
4 For we have heard of your faith in Christ Jesus and of your love for all God's people.
