Apple Blossom.
To the saints (the consecrated people of God) and believing and faithful brethren in Christ who are at (put in your town) Colossae: Grace (spiritual favor and blessing) to you and [heart] peace from God our Father.
Surely, LORD, you bless the righteous; you surround them with your favor as with a shield.
He gives us more grace. That is why Scripture says: "God opposes the proud but shows favor to the humble and oppressed."
[ A Warning against Prejudice ] My dear brothers and sisters, how can you claim to have faith in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ if you favor some people over others?
Exercise foresight and be on the watch to look [after one another], to see that no one falls back from and fails to secure God's grace (His unmerited favor and spiritual blessing),
Let no foul or polluting language, nor evil word nor unwholesome or worthless talk [ever] come out of your mouth, but only such [speech] as is good and beneficial to the spiritual progress of others, as is fitting to the need and the occasion, that it may be a blessing and give grace (God's favor) to those who hear it.
It is right that I should feel as I do about all of you, for you have a special place in my heart. You share with me the special favor of God,
Colossians 1:2 Psalm 5:12 James 4:6 James 2:1 Hebrews 12:15 Ephesians 4:29 Philippians 1:7
The closer we walk with God, the clearer we experience His favor.
