Whiston(i)
3 We give thanks to God the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, praying always for you:
4 Since we heard of your faith in Christ Jesus, and of the love which ye have to all the saits;
5 For the hope which is laid up for you in heaven, whereof ye have already heard in the Word of the truth of the gospel:
6 Which is come unto you, as [it is] in all the world, and bringeth forth fruit, and increaseth, as also in you, since the day ye heard [it], and have acknowledged the grace of God in truth.
7 As ye learned of Epaphras our dear fellow-servant, who is for us a faithful minister of Christ;
8 Who also hath declared unto us your love in the Spirit.
9 For this cause we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to desire that ye might be filled with the knowledge of his will, in all wisdom and spiritual understanding:
