Colossians 1:3-9

Worsley(i) 3 We give thanks to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, always in our prayers for you: 4 (having heard of your faith in Christ Jesus, and your love to all the saints:) 5 for the hope which is laid up for you in heaven, of which ye have heard before in the word of truth, that is the gospel; 6 which is come unto you, even as in all the world, and is fruitful; as it hath been also among you, from the day in which ye heard and knew the grace of God in truth. 7 As ye also learned of Epaphras our beloved fellow-servant, who is a faithful minister of Christ for you; 8 who also declared unto us your love in the Spirit. 9 For this cause we also, from the day that we heard it, cease not to pray for you, and to request that ye may be filled with the knowledge of his will, in all wisdom and spiritual understanding:
