Colossians
Colossians is one of four letters Paul wrote to the Ephesians, Philippians, Colossians, and Philemon while under house arrest in Rome in about 60AD. His letters consist of five parts with similar themes and organization; an opening a statement of thanksgiving and prayer, teaching on the supremacy of Christ, addressing church division and other issues, practical advice for Christian living. Paul wrote from prison to encourage faith, unity, and understanding of Christ in the early churches located in Greece and Turkey.
