“For the hope which is laid up for you in heaven, whereof ye heard before in the word of the truth of the gospel;”
“because of the hope which is laid up for you in the heavens, of which you heard before in the word of the truth of the Good News,”
“Your faith and love have arisen from the hope laid up for you in heaven, which you have heard about in the message of truth, the gospel”
“For the hope that is laid up for you in heaven, which you have heard in the word of the truth of the gospel,”
“Through the hope which is in store for you in heaven; knowledge of which was given to you before in the true word of the good news,”
“For the hope which is laid up for you in heaven, whereof ye heard before in the word of the truth of the gospel;”
to the saints and faithful brethren in Christthat areat Colossæ: Grace to you and peace from God our Father.
We give thanks to God the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, praying always for you,
having heard of your faith in Christ Jesus, and of the love which ye have toward all the saints,
because of the hope which is laid up for you in the heavens, whereof ye heard before in the word of the truth of the gospel,
which is come unto you; even as it is also in all the world bearing fruit and increasing, as it doth in you also, since the day ye heard and knew the grace of God in truth;
even as ye learned of Epaphras our beloved fellow-servant, who is a faithful minister of Christ on our behalf,
who also declared unto us your love in the Spirit.
