This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
God the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ (tōi theōi patri tou kuriou hēmōn Iēsou Christou). Correct text without kai (and) as in Col 3:17, though usually “the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ” (2Co 1:3; 2Co 11:31; Rom 15:6; 1Pe 1:3; Rev 1:6). In Col 1:2 we have the only instance in the opening benediction of an epistle when the name of “Jesus Christ” is not joined with “God our Father.”
Always (pantote). Amphibolous position between eucharistoumen (we give thanks) and proseuchomenoi (praying). Can go with either.
