Colossians 1:1-6

Living Bible

1 From: Paul, chosen by God to be Jesus Christ’s messenger, and from Brother Timothy.

² To: The faithful Christian brothers—God’s people—in the city of Colosse.

May God our Father shower you with blessings and fill you with his great peace.

³ Whenever we pray for you, we always begin by giving thanks to God the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, ⁴ for we have heard how much you trust the Lord, and how much you love his people. ⁵ And you are looking forward to the joys of heaven, and have been ever since the Gospel first was preached to you. ⁶ The same Good News that came to you is going out all over the world and changing lives everywhere, just as it changed yours that very first day you heard it and understood about God’s great kindness to sinners.
