Colossians 1:4

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,

³We are bound to always give thanks to God for you, brothers,^[+] even as it is appropriate, because your faith grows exceedingly, and the love of each and every one of you toward one another abounds,

³remembering without ceasing your work of faith and labor of love and perseverance of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, before our God and Father.

¹⁰For God is not unrighteous, so as to forget your work and the labor of love which you showed toward his name, in that you served the saints, and still do serve them.

⁵hearing of your love and of the faith which you have toward the Lord Jesus and toward all the saints,

⁶For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision amounts to anything, but faith working through love.

³For I rejoiced greatly when brothers came and testified about your truth, even as you walk in truth. ⁴I have no greater joy than this: to hear about my children walking in truth.

¹⁶We know and have believed the love which God has for us. God is love, and he who remains in love remains in God, and God remains in him.

¹⁴We know that we have passed out of death into life, because we love the brothers. He who doesn’t love his brother remains in death.

⁶But Timothy has just now come to us from you, and brought us glad news of your faith and love, and that you have good memories of us always, longing to see us, even as we also long to see you.
