4 For we heard of your faith in Christ Jesus and your love for all the saints,
5 because of the hope which is laid up for you in heaven, of which you have already heard in the word of the truth of the gospel,
6 which has come to you, as it has in all the world, and brings forth fruit, as it has also in you, since the day you heard it and knew the grace of God in truth.
7 And you also learned of Epaphras, our dear fellow servant, who is a faithful minister of Christ for you,
8 who also declared to us your love in the Spirit.
9 For this reason we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you and to ask that you may be filled with the knowledge of His will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding;
10 that you may walk in a manner worthy of the Lord, pleasing to all, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God,
