Colossians 1:6 ASV

⁴  having heard of your faith in Christ Jesus, and of the love which ye have toward all the saints,

⁵  because of the hope which is laid up for you in the heavens, whereof ye heard before in the word of the truth of the gospel,

⁶  which is come unto you; even as it is also in all the world bearing fruit and increasing, as `it doth' in you also, since the day ye heard and knew the grace of God in truth;

⁷  even as ye learned of Epaphras our beloved fellow-servant, who is a faithful minister of Christ on our behalf,

⁸  who also declared unto us your love in the Spirit.
