[AD 407] John Chrysostom on Colossians 1:3
He seems to me to refer everything to the Father, that what he has to say may not at once offend them.

"Praying always for you."

He shows his love, not by giving thanks only, but also by continual prayer, in that those whom he did not see, he had continually within himself.
