1:3 Paul’s thanks and prayers

3We thank God the father of our master Yeshua Messiah as we continually pray for you all, 4after having heard about your faith in Messiah Yeshua and the love that you have for all godly people 5which arose because of your hope in a heavenly reward. You all previously heard about that in the message of the truth—the good message 6that’s in you and that is bearing fruit in the world and growing, just like it did among all of you from the day that you heard it and knew about the grace of God in truth. 7[ref]You all learnt that from Epaphras, our dearly loved fellow slave and who is our faithful servant of the messiah, 8and he is the one who made your love in the spirit evident to us.

9It’s because of that that we haven’t stopped praying from the time that we heard it, and requesting that you all would be filled with the knowledge of his will in all wisdom and spiritual insight, 10to live worthily of the masterpleasing him in every kind of good and productive work. We pray that you all will grow in the knowledge of God 11and be strengthened with all power, according to his great power, leading to endurance and patience with contentment. 12Then you’ll all be thanking the father, the one who qualified you all for a part of the inheritance of godly people who live in the light. 13The father rescued us from the power of darkness and redirected us into the kingdom of his dear son— 14[ref]the one who buys us out of slavery and forgives our sins.


3We_are_giving_thanks to_ the _god the_father of_the master of_us Yaʸsous chosen_one/messiah, always praying, because/for you_all 4having_heard the faith of_you_all in chosen_one/messiah Yaʸsous, and the love that you_all_are_having toward all the holy ones, 5because_of the hope which lying_away for_you_all in the heavens, which you_all_previously_heard in the message of_the truth, the good_message, 6the one being_present to you_all, as also in all the world, is bearing_fruit and being_grown, as also among you_all, from which day you_all_heard and knew the grace of_ the _god in truth, 7as you_all_learned from Epafras, the beloved fellow-slave of_us, who is a_ faithful _servant of_the chosen_one/messiah, because/for us 8the one also having_made_evident to_us the love of_you_all in the_spirit.
9Because_of this we, also from which day we_heard it, are_ not _ceasing praying for you_all and requesting, in_order_that you_all_may_be_filled with_the knowledge of_the will of_him in all wisdom and spiritual insight, 10to_walk worthily of_the master in all pleasing, in every work good bearing_fruit, and being_grown in_the knowledge of_ the _god, 11with all power being_enabled according_to the power of_the glory of_him, to all endurance and patience with joy, 12giving_thanks to_the father, the one having_qualified you_all for the portion of_the allotment of_the holy ones in the light, 13who rescued us from the power of_ the _darkness, and redirected us into the kingdom of_the son of_the love of_him, 14in whom we_are_having the redemption, the forgiveness of_ the _sins,
