"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"
— Colossians 1:5, NET Bible
“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, 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,”
“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, the faithful brothers and sisters in Christ, at Colossae. Grace and peace to you from God our Father!
Paul’s Thanksgiving and Prayer for the Church We always give thanks to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, when we pray for you,
since we heard about your faith in Christ Jesus and the love that you have for all the saints.
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
that has come to you. Just as in the entire world this gospel is bearing fruit and growing, so it has also been bearing fruit and growing among you from the first day you heard it and understood the grace of God in truth.
You learned the gospel from Epaphras, our dear fellow slave– a faithful minister of Christ on our behalf–
who also told us of your love in the Spirit.
