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

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;

Your faith and love have arisen from the hope laid up for you in heaven, which you have heard about in the message of truth, 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

In him you also, when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation, and believed in him, were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit,

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! According to his great mercy, he has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,to an inheritance that is imperishable, undefiled, and unfading, kept in heaven for you,

Henceforth there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, will award to me on that Day, and not only to me but also to all who have loved his appearing.

To them God chose to make known how great among the Gentiles are the riches of the glory of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.

in hope of eternal life, which God, who never lies, promised before the ages began

And we also thank God constantly for this, that when you received the word of God, which you heard from us, you accepted it not as the word of men but as what it really is, the word of God, which is at work in you believers.

( for the law made nothing perfect); but on the other hand, a better hope is introduced, through which we draw near to God.

If in Christ we have hope in this life only, we are of all people most to be pitied.

Like newborn infants, long for the pure spiritual milk, that by it you may grow up into salvation—

if indeed you continue in the faith, stable and steadfast, not shifting from the hope of the gospel that you heard, which has been proclaimed in all creation under heaven, and of which I, Paul, became a minister.

that is, in Christ God was reconciling the world to himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and entrusting to us the message of reconciliation.

So now faith, hope, and love abide, these three; but the greatest of these is love.

Now when Paul perceived that one part were Sadducees and the other Pharisees, he cried out in the council,“ Brothers, I am a Pharisee, a son of Pharisees. It is with respect to the hope and the resurrection of the dead that I am on trial.”

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

but in your hearts honor Christ the Lord as holy, always being prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you; yet do it with gentleness and respect,

having the eyes of your hearts enlightened, that you may know what is the hope to which he has called you, what are the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints,and what is the immeasurable greatness of his power toward us who believe, according to the working of his great might

Sell your possessions, and give to the needy. Provide yourselves with moneybags that do not grow old, with a treasure in the heavens that does not fail, where no thief approaches and no moth destroys.

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 proclaim);

The saying is trustworthy and deserving of full acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am the foremost.

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

having a hope in God, which these men themselves accept, that there will be a resurrection of both the just and the unjust.

Oh, how abundant is your goodness, which you have stored up for those who fear you and worked for those who take refuge in you, in the sight of the children of mankind!

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

As for the word that he sent to Israel, preaching good news of peace through Jesus Christ( he is Lord of all),

“ Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal,but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal.
