Colossians 1:3

²We always give thanks to God for all of you, mentioning you in our prayers,

⁹For this cause, we also, since the day we heard this, don’t cease praying and making requests for you, that you may be filled with the knowledge of his will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding,

³I thank God, whom I serve as my forefathers did, with a pure conscience. How unceasing is my memory of you in my petitions, night and day

⁸First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for all of you, that your faith is proclaimed throughout the whole world. ⁹For God is my witness, whom I serve in my spirit in the Good News of his Son, how unceasingly I make mention of you always in my prayers,

⁴I always thank my God concerning you for the grace of God which was given you in Christ Jesus,

³I thank my God whenever I remember you, ⁴always in every request of mine on behalf of you all, making my requests with joy, ⁵for your partnership^[+] in furtherance of the Good News from the first day until now;

¹⁰night and day praying exceedingly that we may see your face and may perfect that which is lacking in your faith?

¹¹Now may our God and Father himself, and our Lord Jesus Christ, direct our way to you. ¹²May the Lord make you to increase and abound in love toward one another and toward all men, even as we also do toward you, ¹³to the end he may establish your hearts blameless in holiness before our God and Father at the coming of our Lord Jesus with all his saints.

¹³who delivered us out of the power of darkness, and translated us into the Kingdom of the Son of his love,

⁶In nothing be anxious, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God.

¹⁵For this cause I also, having heard of the faith in the Lord Jesus which is among you and the love which you have toward all the saints,
