to the saints, the faithful brothers and sisters in Christ, at Colossae. Grace and peace to you from God our Father!

Let your speech always be gracious, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how you should answer everyone.

I, Paul, write this greeting by my own hand. Remember my chains. Grace be with you.

that has come to you. Just as in the entire world this gospel is bearing fruit and growing, so it has also been bearing fruit and growing among you from the first day you heard it and understood the grace of God in truth.

Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and exhorting one another with all wisdom, singing psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs, all with grace in your hearts to God.
