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

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;

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

You also became believers in Christ. That happened when you heard the message of truth. It was the good news about how you could be saved. When you believed, he stamped you with an official mark. That official mark is the Holy Spirit that he promised.

Give praise to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. In his great mercy he has given us a new birth and a living hope. This hope is living because Jesus Christ rose from the dead.He has given us new birth so that we might share in what belongs to him. This is a gift that can never be destroyed. It can never spoil or even fade away. It is kept in heaven for you.

Now there is a crown waiting for me. It is given to those who are right with God. The Lord, who judges fairly, will give it to me on the day he returns. He will not give it only to me. He will also give it to all those who are longing for him to return.

God has chosen to make known to them the glorious riches of that mystery. He has made it known among the Gentiles. And here is what it is. Christ is in you. He is your hope of glory.

That belief and understanding lead to the hope of eternal life. Before time began, God promised to give that life. And he does not lie.

We never stop thanking God for the way you received his word. You heard it from us. But you didn’t accept it as a human word. You accepted it for what it really is. It is God’s word. It is really at work in you who believe.

The law didn’t make anything perfect. Now a better hope has been given to us. That hope brings us near to God.

Do we have hope in Christ only for this life? Then people should pity us more than anyone else.

Like newborn babies, you should long for the pure milk of God’s word. It will help you grow up as believers.

But you must keep your faith steady and firm. You must not move away from the hope the good news holds out to you. This is the good news that you heard. It has been preached to every creature under heaven. I, Paul, now serve the good news.

God was bringing the world back to himself through Christ. He did not hold people’s sins against them. God has trusted us with the message that people may be brought back to him.

The three most important things to have are faith, hope and love. But the greatest of them is love.

Paul knew that some of them were Sadducees and the others were Pharisees. So he called out to the members of the Sanhedrin.“ My brothers,” he said,“ I am a Pharisee. I come from a family of Pharisees. I believe that people will rise from the dead. That’s why I am on trial.”

Let the message about Christ live among you like a rich treasure. Teach and correct one another wisely. Teach one another by singing psalms and hymns and songs from the Spirit. Sing to God with thanks in your hearts.

But make sure that in your hearts you honor Christ as Lord. Always be ready to give an answer to anyone who asks you about the hope you have. Be ready to give the reason for it. But do it gently and with respect.

I pray that you may understand more clearly. Then you will know the hope God has chosen you to receive. You will know that what God will give his holy people is rich and glorious.And you will know God’s great power. It can’t be compared with anything else. His power works for us who believe. It is the same mighty strength

Sell what you own. Give to those who are poor. Provide purses for yourselves that will not wear out. Store up riches in heaven that will never be used up. There, no thief can come near it. There, no moth can destroy it.

Today I am on trial because of the hope I have. I believe in what God promised our people of long ago.It is the promise that our 12 tribes are hoping to see come true. Because of this hope they serve God with faithful and honest hearts day and night. King Agrippa, it is also because of this hope that these Jews are bringing charges against me.

But what does it say?“ The message is near you. It’s in your mouth and in your heart.”( Deuteronomy 30:14) This means the message about faith that we are preaching.

Here is a saying that you can trust. It should be accepted completely. Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners. And I am the worst sinner of all.

Our Lord Jesus Christ and God our Father loved us. By his grace God gave us comfort that will last forever. The hope he gave us is good. May our Lord Jesus Christ and God our Father

I have the same hope in God that these men themselves have. I believe that both the godly and the ungodly will rise from the dead.

You have stored up so many good things. You have stored them up for those who have respect for you. You give those things while everyone watches. You give them to people who run to you for safety.

But we long to be made completely holy because of our faith in Christ. Through the Holy Spirit we wait for this in hope.

You know the message God sent to the people of Israel. It is the good news of peace through Jesus Christ. He is Lord of all.

“ Do not gather for yourselves riches on earth. Moths and rats can destroy them. Thieves can break in and steal them.Instead, gather for yourselves riches in heaven. There, moths and rats do not destroy them. There, thieves do not break in and steal them.

Christ is pure. All who hope to be like him make themselves pure.

“ Listen, fellow children of Abraham! Listen, you Gentiles who worship God! This message of salvation has been sent to us.

We speak the truth. We serve in the power of God. We hold the weapons of godliness in the right hand and in the left.
