the faith and love that spring from the hope stored up for you in heaven and about which you have already heard in the true message of the gospel

Your faith and love are based on the hope you have. What you hope for is stored up for you in heaven. You have already heard about it. You were told about it when the true message was given to you. I’m talking about the good news

because of the hope laid up for you in heaven. Of this you have heard before in the word of the truth, the gospel,

which come from your confident hope of what God has reserved for you in heaven. You have had this expectation ever since you first heard the truth of the Good News.

because of the hope reserved for you in heaven. You have already heard about this hope in the word of truth, the gospel

because of the hope reserved for you in heaven, of which you previously heard in the word of truth, the gospel

because of the hope which is laid up for you in heaven, of which you heard before in the word of the truth of the gospel,

because of the hope which is laid up for you in the heavens, whereof ye heard before in the word of the truth of the gospel,

because of the hope reserved for you in heaven. You have already heard about this hope in the message of truth, the gospel

For the hope which is laid up for you in heaven, whereof ye heard before in the word of the truth of the gospel;

because of the hope which is laid up for you in the heavens, of which you heard before in the word of the truth of the Good News

And when you heard the word of truth( the gospel of your salvation)– when you believed in Christ– you were marked with the seal of the promised Holy Spirit,

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! By his great mercy he gave us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,that is, into an inheritance imperishable, undefiled, and unfading. It is reserved in heaven for you,

Finally the crown of righteousness is reserved for me. The Lord, the righteous Judge, will award it to me in that day– and not to me only, but also to all who have set their affection on his appearing.

God wanted to make known to them the glorious riches of this mystery among the Gentiles, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.

in hope of eternal life, which God, who does not lie, promised before the ages began.

And so we too constantly thank God that when you received God’s message that you heard from us, you accepted it not as a human message, but as it truly is, God’s message, which is at work among you who believe.

for the law made nothing perfect. On the other hand a better hope is introduced, through which we draw near to God.

For if only in this life we have hope in Christ, we should be pitied more than anyone.

And yearn like newborn infants for pure, spiritual milk, so that by it you may grow up to salvation,

if indeed you remain in the faith, established and firm, without shifting from the hope of the gospel that you heard. This gospel has also been preached in all creation under heaven, and I, Paul, have become its servant.

In other words, in Christ God was reconciling the world to himself, not counting people’s trespasses against them, and he has given us the message of reconciliation.

And now these three remain: faith, hope, and love. But the greatest of these is love.

Then when Paul noticed that part of them were Sadducees and the others Pharisees, he shouted out in the council,“ Brothers, I am a Pharisee, a son of Pharisees. I am on trial concerning the hope of the resurrection of the dead!”

Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and exhorting one another with all wisdom, singing psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs, all with grace in your hearts to God.

But set Christ apart as Lord in your hearts and always be ready to give an answer to anyone who asks about the hope you possess.

– since the eyes of your heart have been enlightened– so that you may know what is the hope of his calling, what is the wealth of his glorious inheritance in the saints,and what is the incomparable greatness of his power toward us who believe, as displayed in the exercise of his immense strength.

Sell your possessions and give to the poor. Provide yourselves purses that do not wear out– a treasure in heaven that never decreases, where no thief approaches and no moth destroys.

And now I stand here on trial because of my hope in the promise made by God to our ancestors,a promise that our twelve tribes hope to attain as they earnestly serve God night and day. Concerning this hope the Jews are accusing me, Your Majesty!

But what does it say?“ The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart”( that is, the word of faith that we preach),

This saying is trustworthy and deserves full acceptance:“ Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners”– and I am the worst of them!

Now may our Lord Jesus Christ himself and God our Father, who loved us and by grace gave us eternal comfort and good hope,

I have a hope in God( a hope that these men themselves accept too) that there is going to be a resurrection of both the righteous and the unrighteous.

How great is your favor, which you store up for your loyal followers! In plain sight of everyone you bestow it on those who take shelter in you.

For through the Spirit, by faith, we wait expectantly for the hope of righteousness.

You know the message he sent to the people of Israel, proclaiming the good news of peace through Jesus Christ( he is Lord of all)–

“ Do not accumulate for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal.But accumulate for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy, and thieves do not break in and steal.

And everyone who has this hope focused on him purifies himself, just as Jesus is pure).

Brothers, descendants of Abraham’s family, and those Gentiles among you who fear God, the message of this salvation has been sent to us.

by truthful teaching, by the power of God, with weapons of righteousness both for the right hand and for the left,
