Colossians 1:7-9

American Standard Version

⁷ even as ye learned of Epaphras our beloved fellow-servant, who is a faithful minister of Christ on ^[a]our behalf, 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 and make request for you, that ye may be filled with the knowledge of his will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding,
