NASB
"just as you learned it from Epaphras, our beloved fellow bond-servant, who is a faithful servant of Christ on our behalf,"
— Colossians 1:7, NASB
“As ye also learned of Epaphras our dear fellowservant, who is for you a faithful minister of Christ;”
“even as ye learned of Epaphras our beloved fellow-servant, who is a faithful minister of Christ on our behalf, ”
“even as you learned of Epaphras our beloved fellow servant, who is a faithful servant of Christ on our behalf,”
“You learned the gospel from Epaphras, our dear fellow slave– a faithful minister of Christ on our behalf–”
“As you learned of Epaphras, our most beloved fellow servant, who is for you a faithful minister of Christ Jesus;”
“As it was given to you by Epaphras, our well-loved helper, who is a true servant of Christ for us,”
“As ye also learned of Epaphras our dear fellowservant, who is for you a faithful minister of Christ;”
since we heard of your faith in Christ Jesus and the love which you have for all the saints;
because of the hope laid up for you in heaven, of which you previously heard in the word of truth, the gospel
which has come to you, just as in all the world also it is constantly bearing fruit and increasing, even as it has been doing in you also since the day you heard of it and understood the grace of God in truth;
just as you learned it from Epaphras, our beloved fellow bond-servant, who is a faithful servant of Christ on our behalf,
and he also informed us of your love in the Spirit.
For this reason also, since the day we heard of it, we have not ceased to pray for you and to ask that you may be filled with the knowledge of His will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding,
so that you will walk in a manner worthy of the Lord, to please Him in all respects, bearing fruit in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God;
