1 Paul, an emissary of Messiah Yeshua through the will of God, and Timothy our brother,
2 to the holy ones and faithful brothers in Messiah at Colossae: Grace to you and peace from God our Father, and the Lord Yeshua the Messiah.
3 We give thanks to God the Father of our Lord Yeshua the Messiah, praying always for you,
4 having heard of your faith in Messiah Yeshua, and of the love which you have toward all the holy ones,
5 because of the hope which is laid up for you in the heavens, of which you heard before in the word of the truth of the Good News,
