A Prayer of Thanks

³ Each time we pray for you, we thank God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. ⁴ We have heard of your faith in Christ and of your love for all God's people, ⁵ because what you hope for is kept safe for you in heaven. You first heard about this hope when you believed the true message, which is the good news.
