³Grace be to you and peace, from God our Father and from the Lord Jesus Christ. We give thanks to God and the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, praying always for you.

⁴Hearing your faith in Christ Jesus and the love which you have towards all the saints.

⁵For the hope that is laid up for you in heaven, which you have heard in the word of the truth of the gospel,

⁶Which is come unto you, as also it is in the whole world and bringeth forth fruit and groweth, even as it doth in you, since the day you heard and knew the grace of God in truth.

⁷As you learned of Epaphras, our most beloved fellow servant, who is for you a faithful minister of Christ Jesus;

⁸Who also hath manifested your love in the spirit.

⁹Therefore we also, from the day that we heard it, cease not to pray for you and to beg that you may be filled with the knowledge of his will, in all wisdom and spiritual understanding:

¹⁰That you may walk worthy of God, in all things pleasing; being fruitful in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God:

Read in Logos

Colossians 1:10: … so as to walk in a manner worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing to him, bearing fruit in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God.
