Summary/Abstract: St. Apostle Paul writes in the Epistle to Colossians a thanksgiving, characteristic of Pauline's Epistles. This thanksgiving is a story addressed to the recipients of the epistle about the prayers of gratitude that it brings to God for them. In this context, the prayer of gratitude focuses on hope, store up for them in heaven, which, unlike the presentation of the Virtues trilogy of 1 Cor 13.13, becomes the motivation of increasing the faith and love of Christians. The dynamic spread of the Gospel and the lives exchanged as a result of Christ's confession are understood as the work of God's Grace.
