What the Fathers say

Colossians 1:8

Eastern Fathers

Theophylact of Ohrid

That is, the spiritual love which you have for me. For the most enduring love is love in the spirit. Every other love—both natural love, such as the love of parents for children and children for parents, and love based on friendship and companionship—is not enduring.

Commentary on Colossians ↗

Western Saints

Thomas Aquinas

He is a faithful minister, that is, a mediator between them and the Apostle, and has made known, i.e., indicated, to us your love in the Spirit.
