Bible: Colossians 1:7, 23, 25; 4:7

1:7 You learned the gospel 1  from Epaphras, our dear fellow slave 2 a 3  faithful minister of Christ on our 4  behalf 1:23 if indeed you remain in the faith, established and firm, 5  without shifting 6  from the hope of the gospel that you heard. This gospel has also been preached in all creation under heaven, and I, Paul, have become its servant.

1:25 I became a servant of the church according to the stewardship 7  from God – given to me for you – in order to complete 8  the word of God,
4:7 Is it not true 1  that if you do what is right, you will be fine? 2  But if you do not do what is right, sin is crouching 3  at the door. It desires to dominate you, but you must subdue it.” 4
