Colossians 1:2

1 Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, and Timothy our brother,

To the saints and faithful brothers in Christ at Colossae: Grace and peace to you from God our Father.

3 We always thank God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, when we pray for you,

4 because we have heard about your faith in Christ Jesus and your love for all the saints—

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
