4 because we have heard about your faith in Christ Jesus and your love for all the saints—

5 the faith and love proceeding from the hope stored up for you in heaven, of which you have already heard in the word of truth, the gospel

6 that has come to you. All over the world this gospel is bearing fruit and growing, just as it has been doing among you since the day you heard it and truly understood the grace of God.

7 You learned it from Epaphras, our beloved fellow servant, who is a faithful minister of Christ on our behalf,
