"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,"
— Colossians 1:5, World English 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, ”
“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 brothers in Christ at Colossae: Grace to you and peace from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ.
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 you have toward all the saints,
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,
which has come to you; even as it is in all the world and is bearing fruit and growing, as it does in you also, since the day you heard and knew the grace of God in truth;
even as you learned of Epaphras our beloved fellow servant, who is a faithful servant of Christ on our behalf,
who also declared to us your love in the Spirit.
