Charles Spurgeon Commentary Colossians 1:3

"We give thanks to God the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, praying always for you," — Colossians 1:3 (ASV)

We give thanks to God and the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, praying always for you,

Paul very graciously blends his giving of thanks and his constant prayer for these Christians at Colosse, and in this sets us an example that we would do well to imitate.
