New International Version (NIV) |
|
3 We do thankings to God, and to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ [and the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ], evermore praying for you,
|
3 We always thank God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, when we pray for you,
|
|
4 [we] hearing your faith in Christ Jesus, and the love that ye have to all holy men,
|
4 because we have heard of your faith in Christ Jesus and of the love you have for all the saints--
|
|
5 for the hope that is kept to you in heavens. Which ye heard in the word of truth of the gospel,
|
5 the faith and love that spring from the hope that is stored up for you in heaven and that you have already heard about in the word of truth, the gospel
|
|
6 that came to you, as also it is in all the world, and maketh fruit, and waxeth, as [it is] in you, from that day in which ye heard and knew the grace of God in truth.
|
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 understood God's grace in all its truth.

|
7 As ye learned of Epaphras, our fellow most dear-worthy [our even-servant most dear-worthy], which is a true minister of Jesus Christ for you;
|
7 You learned it from Epaphras, our dear fellow servant, who is a faithful minister of Christ on our behalf,
|
|
8 which also showed to us your loving in Spirit.
|
8 and who also told us of your love in the Spirit.
