3  We give thanks to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, praying always for you,

3  Grace and peace to you, from God our Father and from the Lord Jesus Christ. We give thanks to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, praying for you always.

3  Always we give thanks to God, the Father of our LORD Jesus Christ, and always we pray for you,

4  when we heard of your faith in Christ Jesus and your love which is towards all the saints;

4  having heard of your faith in Christ Jesus, and of the love which ye have toward all the saints,

4  Since we heard of your faith in Jesus Christ, and of your love for all the saints,

5  because of the hope being laid up for you in [the] heavens, in which you heard before in the word of the truth of the gospel,

5  For the hope which is preserved for you in heaven, of which you heard before in the true word of the gospel;

6  which has come to you, just as also in all the world, and is bearing fruit and growing, just as also among you, from the day which you heard and fully knew the grace of God in truth;

6  This has reached you, just as it is present in the whole world, where it grows and bears fruit, as it has also done in you, since the day when you first heard and knew the grace of God in truth,

7  just as also you learned from Epaphras, our beloved fellow servant, who is a faithful minister of Christ for you,

7  even as ye learned of Epaphras our beloved fellow-servant, who is a faithful minister of Christ on our behalf,

8  who also told us of your love in the Spirit.

8  And he has also manifested to us your love in the Spirit.

8  And who has made known to us your love for spiritual things.

9  On account of this we also, since the day we heard, do not cease praying for you, and asking that you may be filled with the full knowledge of His will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding;

9  For this cause we also, since the day we heard [it], do not cease to pray and make request for you, that ye may be filled with the knowledge of his will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding,

9  Then, too, from the day when we first heard it, we have not ceased praying for you and requesting that you be filled with the knowledge of his will, with all wisdom and spiritual understanding,

10  that you should walk worthy of YHWH, to please Him in all respects, bearing fruit and increasing in the full knowledge of God;

10  to walk worthily of the Lord unto all pleasing, bearing fruit in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God;

10  so that you may walk in a manner worthy of God, being pleasing in all things, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God,

11  being strengthened with all power, according to the might of His glory, for all endurance and longsuffering with joy;

11  And be strengthened with all might, according to the greatness of his glory, in all patience and longsuffering,

11  Strengthened with all might, according to his glorious power, unto all patience and longsuffering with joyfulness;
