Colossians 1:7-9

New Life Version

⁷ You heard the Good News through our much-loved brother Epaphras who is taking my place. He is a faithful servant of Christ. ⁸ He told us that the Holy Spirit had given you much love.

⁹ This is why I have never stopped praying for you since I heard about you. I ask God that you may know what He wants you to do. I ask God to fill you with the wisdom and understanding the Holy Spirit gives.
