A couple of verses from Colossians as Paul (writer) introduces himself to his readers in Colossae.
Read it as if Paul was writing to you today:
"To the faithful Christians brothers---God's people---.
"May God our Father shower you with blessings and fill you with his great peace.
"Whenever we pray for you we always begin by giving thanks to God the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ
for we have heard how much you trust the Lord,
and how much you love his people.."
~ Colossians 1:2 - 4 LAB
*
Bible Commentary: "Letters in Paul's day frequently began with the writer's name, followed by a blessing. Paul usually added Christ9an elements to his greetings, reminding his readers of his call by God to spread the gospel, emphasiing that the authority for his words came from God, and giving thanks for God's blessings."
