5 because of the hope that is laid up for you in heaven, of which ye heard before in the word of truth of the gospel;
6 which is announced to you, as also to all the world; and which groweth and yieldeth fruits, as it doth also among you from the day ye heard and knew the grace of God in reality:
7 as ye learned from Epaphras, our beloved fellow-servant, who is for you a faithful minister of the Messiah;
8 and who hath made known to us your love in the Spirit.
9 Therefore we also, from the day we heard of it, have not ceased to pray for you; and to ask that ye may be filled with a knowledge of the good pleasure of God, in all wisdom, and in all spiritual understanding;
10 that ye may walk as is right, and may please God with all good works, and may yield fruits, and grow in the knowledge of God;
