Colossians 1:1-2

I, Paul, am sending this letter to you, who are God’s people in Colossae. We pray that God will bless you.

1 I, Paul, am writing this letter to you, and our fellow believer Timothy is with me. I am an apostle who represents Christ Jesus, because that is what God wanted. 2 I am sending this letter to you who are in Colossae city, and who are God’s people, and our faithful fellow believers who have a close relationship with Christ. We pray that God our Father will be acting kindly towards you, and that he will cause you to have inner peace.
