1 From Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, and Timothy our brother,
2 to the saints, the faithful brothers and sisters in Christ, at Colossae. Grace and peace to you from God our Father!
3 We always give thanks to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, when we pray for you,
4 since we heard about your faith in Christ Jesus and the love that you have for all the saints.
