Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious

Father, may give you the Spirit

of wisdom and revelation,

so that you may know Him better.

holy and dearly loved, clothe

yourselves with compassion,

kindness, humility, gentleness

(Colossians 3.12).

as you teach and admonish one another

with all wisdom, and as you sing psalms,

hymns and spiritual songs with gratitude

in your hearts to God.

(Best News Ever), because it is

the power of God for the salvation

of everyone who believes: first for

the Jew, then for the Gentile. For in

the gospel (Best News Ever)  a

righteousness from God is revealed,

a righteousness that is by faith from

first to last, just as it is written: “The

righteous will live by faith.”

(Romans 1.16 & 17).

HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOREVERMORE!

God Who is rich in mercy, made us

alive in Christ even when we were

dead in transgressions- it is by grace

you have been saved.

(Ephesians 2.5).

HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOREVERMORE!

and so we believe that God will bring

with Jesus those who have fallen asleep

in Him.

and were enemies in your minds

because of your evil behavior.

But now He has reconciled you

by Christ’s physical body through

death to present you holy in His

sight, without blemish and free

from accusation- if you continue

in your faith, established and

firm, not moved from the hope

held out in the gospel (Best News

Ever). This is the gospel that you

heard and that has been proclaimed

to every creature under heaven, and

of which I, Paul have become a servant.

(Colossians 1.21-23).

will of God, and Timothy our brother,

To the holy and faithful brothers and

sisters in Christ at Colosse:

Grace and peace to you from God our

Father.

We always thank God, the Father of our

Lord Jesus Christ, when we pray for you,

because we have heard of the love you

have for all the saints- the faith and love

that spring from the hope that is stored up

for you in heaven and that you have already

heard about in the word of truth, the gospel

(Best News Ever) that has come to you.

All over the world this gospel is bearing

fruit and growing, just as it has been doing

among you since the day you heard it and

understood God’s grace in all its truth.

You learned it from Epaphras, our dear

fellow servant, who s a faithful minister

of Christ on our behalf, and who also

told us of your love in the Spirit.

For this reason, since the day we

heard about you, we have not

stopped praying for you and asking

God to fill you with the knowledge of

His will through all spiritual wisdom

and understanding.

And we pray this in order that you may

live a life worthy of the Lord and may

please Him in every way:

bearing fruit in every good work,

growing in the knowledge of God,

being strengthened with all power

according to His glorious might so

that you may have great endurance

and patience, and joyfully giving

thanks to the Father Who has

qualified you to share in the

inheritance of the saints in the

kingdom of light.

For He has rescued us from the

dominion of darkness and brought us

into the kingdom of the Son He loves,

in Whom we have redemption, the

forgiveness of sins.

He is the image of the invisible God,

the firstborn over all creation.

For by Him all things were created:

things in heaven and on earth,

visible and invisible, whether thrones

or powers or rulers or authorities;

all things were created by Him and for Him.

He is before all things, and in Him all things

hold together.

And He is the head of the body, the church;

He is the beginning and firstborn from among

the dead, so that in everything He might have

the supremacy. For God was pleased to have

all His fullness dwell in Him, and through Him

to reconcile to Himself all things, whether

things on earth or things in heaven, by making

peace through His blood, shed on the cross.

(Colossians 1.1-20).

HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOREVERMORE!

I will praise Your name for ever

and ever.

Every day I will praise You and

extol Your name for ever and ever.

(Psalm 145.1 &2).

HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOREVERMORE!

as dearly loved children and live

a life of love, just as Christ loved

us and gave Himself up for us as

a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.

(Ephesians 5. 1 & 2).

HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOREVERMORE!
