because we have heard of your faith in Christ Jesus and of the love which you cherish towards all God's people,

ἐν en “in”

on account of the hope treasured up for you in Heaven. Of this hope you have already heard in the Message of the truth of the Good News.

and moreover he has informed us of your love, which is inspired by the Spirit.

For this reason we also, from the day we first received these tidings, have never ceased to pray for you and to entreat that you may be filled with a clear knowledge of His will accompanied by thorough wisdom and discernment in spiritual things;

ἐν en “in”

so that your lives may be worthy of the Lord and perfectly pleasing to Him, while you exhibit the results of right action of every sort and grow into a fuller knowledge of God.

ἐν en “in”

Since His power is so glorious, may you be strengthened with strength of every kind, and be prepared for cheerfully enduring all things with patience and long-suffering;

in whom we have our redemption--the forgiveness of our sins.

And HE IS before all things and in and through Him the universe is a harmonious whole.

ἐν en “in”

Moreover He is the Head of His Body, the Church. He is the Beginning, the Firstborn from among the dead, in order that He Himself may in all things occupy the foremost place.

ἐν en “in”

For it was the Father's gracious will that the whole of the divine perfections should dwell in Him.

And God purposed through Him to reconcile the universe to Himself, making peace through His blood, which was shed upon the Cross--to reconcile to Himself through Him, I say, things on earth and things in Heaven.

And you, estranged as you once were and even hostile in your minds, amidst your evil deeds,

ἐν en “in”

He has now, in His human body, reconciled to God by His death, to bring you, holy and faultless and irreproachable, into His presence;

ἐν en “in”

if, indeed, you are still firmly holding to faith as your foundation, without ever shifting from your hope that rests on the Good News that you have heard, which has been proclaimed in the whole creation under Heaven, and in which I Paul have been appoin

Him we preach, admonishing every one and instructing every one, with all possible wisdom, so that we may bring every one into God's presence, made perfect through Christ.

For I would have you know in how severe a struggle I am engaged on behalf of you and the brethren in Laodicea and of all who have not known me personally,

in order that their hearts may be cheered, they themselves being welded together in love and enjoying all the advantages of a reasonable certainty, till at last they attain the full knowledge of God's truth, which is Christ Himself.

In Him all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge are stored up, hidden from view.
