3. Thanksgiving for the "faith, hope, and love" of the Colossians. So
in the twin Epistle sent at the same time and by the same bearer,
Tychicus
(Eph 1:15, 16).
We--I and Timothy.
and the Father--So some of the oldest manuscripts read. But others
better omit the "and," which probably crept in from
Eph 1:3.
praying always for you--with thanksgiving
(Php 4:6).
See
Col 1:4.
