⁸ First, ^(A)I thank my God through Jesus Christ ^[a]for you all, because ^(B)your faith is being proclaimed throughout the world.

⁶ which has come to you, just as ^[a](A)in all the world also it is bearing ^(B)fruit and ^[b]increasing, even as it has been doing in you also since the day you ^(C)heard it and ^[c]understood the grace of God in truth;

²³ if indeed you continue in ^[a]the faith firmly ^(A)established and steadfast, and not shifting from the ^(B)hope of the gospel that you have heard, which was proclaimed ^(C)in all creation under heaven, ^(D)and of which I, Paul, ^[b]was made a ^[c](E)minister.

⁸ For ^(A)the word of the Lord has ^(B)sounded forth from you, not only in ^(C)Macedonia and ^(D)Achaia, but ^(E)in every place the news of your faith toward God has gone out, so that we have no need to say anything.
