3 (A)We [a]give thanks to God, (B)the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, praying always for you, 4 (C)since we heard of your faith in Christ Jesus and the (D)love which you have [b]for (E)all the [c]saints; 5 because of the (F)hope (G)reserved for you in [d]heaven, of which you previously (H)heard in the word of truth, [e]the gospel 6 which has come to you, just as [f](I)in all the world also it is bearing (J)fruit and [g]increasing, even as it has been doing in you also since the day you (K)heard it and [h]understood the grace of God in truth; 7 just as you learned it from (L)Epaphras, our (M)beloved fellow bond-servant, who is a faithful servant of Christ on our behalf, 8 and he also informed us of your (N)love in the Spirit.
