Colossians 1:2

To the saints (set apart for God) in Colossae, the faithful brothers and sisters in the Anointed One (Messiah, Christ).
[Colossae was located in the Lycus Valley in the Roman province of Phrygia, present-day Turkey. The city was located 170 km east of Ephesus along the main road to the Orient. Right next to Colossae were the more well-known, larger, flourishing cities of Laodicea and Hierapolis. The letter was also to be read aloud in at least Laodicea, see Col. 4:13, 16. It is worth noting that the letter is addressed specifically to Colossae, the smallest and comparatively insignificant city in this area.]
Grace (power, undeserved favor) be with you, and peace (harmony, freedom from fear, well-being) from God our Father.
