we heard about your faith in Christ Jesus and the love that you have for all the saints.
1:5 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
1:6 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.
1:7 You learned the gospel
from Epaphras, our dear fellow slave
– a
faithful minister of Christ on our
behalf –
1:8 who also told us of your love in the Spirit.

1:10 so that you may live worthily of the Lord and please him in all respects – bearing fruit in every good deed, growing in the knowledge of God,
1:11 being strengthened with all power according to his glorious might for the display of all patience and steadfastness, joyfully
1:12 giving thanks to the Father who has qualified you to share in the saints’ inheritance in the light.
1:13 He delivered us from the power of darkness and transferred us to the kingdom of the Son he loves,
1:14 in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.
