Colossians 1:8
Who also declared unto us your love in the Spirit - The love wrought in you by the Holy Spirit. It was not mere natural affection, but love worked in their hearts by the agency of the Holy Spirit.
6 which has come to you, aas it has also in all the world, and bis bringing forth fruit, as it is also among you since the day you heard and knew cthe grace of God in truth;
7 as you also learned from aEpaphras, our dear fellow servant, who is ba faithful minister of Christ on your behalf,
8 who also declared to us your alove in the Spirit.
Preeminence of Christ
9 aFor this reason we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to ask bthat you may be filled with cthe knowledge of His will din all wisdom and spiritual understanding;
10 athat you may walk worthy of the Lord, bfully pleasing Him, cbeing fruitful in every good work and increasing in the dknowledge of God;
11 astrengthened with all might, according to His glorious power, bfor all patience and longsuffering cwith joy;
