Colossians 1:3-9
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 1
3
We give thanks to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, praying always for you,
4
since we heard of your faith in Christ Jesus and the love which you have for all the saints;
5
because of the hope reserved for you in heaven, of which you previously heard in the word of truth, the gospel
6
which has come to you, just as in all the world also it is bearing fruit and increasing, even as
it has been doing
in you also since the day you heard
it
and understood the grace of God in truth;
7
just as you learned
it
from Epaphras, our beloved fellow bond-servant, who is a faithful servant of Christ on our behalf,
8
and he also informed us of your love in the Spirit.
9
For this reason we also, since the day we heard
about it,
have not ceased praying for you and asking that you may be filled with the knowledge of His will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding,
King James Version
Chapter 1
3
We give thanks to God and the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, praying always for you,
4
Since we heard of your faith in Christ Jesus, and of the love which ye have to all the saints,
5
For the hope which is laid up for you in heaven, whereof ye heard before in the word of the truth of the gospel;
6
Which is come unto you, as it is in all the world; and bringeth forth fruit, as it doth also in you, since the day ye heard of it, and knew the grace of God in truth:
7
As ye also learned of Epaphras our dear fellowservant, who is for you a faithful minister of Christ;
8
Who also declared unto us your love in the Spirit.
9
For this cause we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to desire that ye might be filled with the knowledge of his will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding;
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 1
3
We always thank God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, when we pray for you,
4
for we have heard of your faith in Christ Jesus and of the love you have for all the saints
5
because of the hope reserved for you in heaven. You have already heard about this hope in the word of truth, the gospel
6
that has come to you. It is bearing fruit and growing all over the world, just as it has among you since the day you heard it and came to truly appreciate God’s grace.
7
You learned this from Epaphras, our dearly loved fellow servant. He is a faithful minister of Christ on your behalf,
8
and he has told us about your love in the Spirit.
9
For this reason also, since the day we heard this, we haven’t stopped praying for you. We are asking that you may be filled with the knowledge of his will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding,
New Living Translation
Chapter 1
3
We always pray for you, and we give thanks to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.
4
For we have heard of your faith in Christ Jesus and your love for all of God’s people,
5
which come from your confident hope of what God has reserved for you in heaven. You have had this expectation ever since you first heard the truth of the Good News.
6
This same Good News that came to you is going out all over the world. It is bearing fruit everywhere by changing lives, just as it changed your lives from the day you first heard and understood the truth about God’s wonderful grace.
7
You learned about the Good News from Epaphras, our beloved co-worker. He is Christ’s faithful servant, and he is helping us on your behalf.
8
He has told us about the love for others that the Holy Spirit has given you.
9
So we have not stopped praying for you since we first heard about you. We ask God to give you complete knowledge of his will and to give you spiritual wisdom and understanding.

3
We always thank God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, when we pray for you,
4
since we heard of your faith in Christ Jesus and of the love that you have for all the saints,
5
because of the hope laid up for you in heaven. Of this you have heard before in the word of the truth, the gospel,
6
which has come to you, as indeed in the whole world it is bearing fruit and increasing — as it also does among you, since the day you heard it and understood the grace of God in truth,
7
just as you learned it from Epaphras our beloved fellow servant. He is a faithful minister of Christ on your behalf
8
and has made known to us your love in the Spirit.
9
And so, from the day we heard, we have not ceased to pray for you, asking that you may be filled with the knowledge of his will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding,
New International Version
Chapter 1
3
We always thank God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, when we pray for you,
4
because we have heard of your faith in Christ Jesus and of the love you have for all God’s people—
5
the faith and love that spring from the hope stored up for you in heaven and about which you have already heard in the true message of the gospel
6
that has come to you. In the same way, the gospel is bearing fruit and growing throughout the whole world—just as it has been doing among you since the day you heard it and truly understood God’s grace.
7
You learned it from Epaphras, our dear fellow servant, who is a faithful minister of Christ on our behalf,
8
and who also told us of your love in the Spirit.
9
For this reason, since the day we heard about you, we have not stopped praying for you. We continually ask God to fill you with the knowledge of his will through all the wisdom and understanding that the Spirit gives,
New King James Version

4
since we heard of your faith in Christ Jesus and of your love for all the saints;
5

6
which has come to you, as
it has
also in all the world, and is bringing forth fruit, as
it is
also among you since the day you heard and knew the grace of God in truth;
7
as you also learned from Epaphras, our dear fellow servant, who is a faithful minister of Christ on your behalf,
8
who also declared to us your love in the Spirit.
9
For this reason we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to ask that you may be filled with the knowledge of His will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding;
