Colossians 1:1

Verse 1 of 29. The 1st of 4 chapters in Colossians, in The Letters of Paul.

1Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus through the will of God, and Timothy our brother,

2to the saints and faithful brothers in Christ at Colossae: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

3We give thanks to God the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, praying always for you,

4having heard of your faith in Christ Jesus and of the love which you have toward all the saints,

5because 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
