our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

We give thanks to the God and Father

of our Lord Jesus Christ, praying always

for you,

Since we heard of your faith in Christ Jesus

and of your love for all the saints;

Because of the hope which is reserved for you

in heaven, of which you heard before in the word

of the truth of the Gospel (BEST NEWS EVER),

Which has come to you. as it has also in all the

world, and is bringing forth fruit, as it is also

among you since the day you heard and knew

the grace of God in truth;

As you also learned from Epaphras, our dear

fellow servant, who is a faithful minister of

Christ on you behalf,

Who also declared to us of your love in the Spirit.

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;

That you may walk worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing

Him, being fruitful in every good work and increasing

in the knowledge of God;

Strengthened with all might, according to His glorious

power, for all patience and long suffering with joy;

Giving thanks to the Father Who has qualified us  to be

partakers of the inheritance of the saints in the light.

HALLELUJAH! WE PRAISE YOU AND THANK YOU

LORD JESUS FOREVERMORE!
