Here, hearts stands for a person’s thoughts or mind. If your readers would not understand this, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: [may the Lord cause you to understand the love of God and the endurance of Christ] or [may the Lord help you to know the love of God and the endurance of Christ]

Paul speaks of God’s love and Christ’s endurance as if they were destinations on a path. If your readers would not understand this figure of speech, you could express the meaning in a nonfigurative way. Alternate translation: [to know how much God loves you and the endurance that Christ supplies you]

Here, love of God can mean (1) the love that comes from God. Alternate translation: [to know how much God loves you] or (2) the love that people give to God. Alternate translation: [to love God more]

Here, endurance of Christ can mean (1) the endurance that Christ gives to his people. Alternate translation: [to experience the endurance that Christ gives you] or (2) the endurance that Christ had through his suffering. Alternate translation: [to know how much Christ has endured for you]
3:5 The prayer that God would lead (literally make straight) their hearts reflects an Old Testament expression (1 Chr 29:18; Prov 23:19). Christians are expected to love as God loves and practice patient endurance as Christ endured.
