~Jesus, Acts 1:8
NIV
“
We always thank God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,when we pray for you, because we have heard of your faith inChrist Jesus and of the love you have for all the saints–the faithand love that spring from the hope that is stored up for you inheaven and that you have already heard about in the word of truth, the gospel that has come to you. All over the world thisgospel is bearing fruit and growing, just as it has been doingamong you since the day you heard it and understood God’sgrace in all its truth. You learned it from Epaphras, our dear fellow servant, who is a faithful minister of Christ on our behalf,and who also told of your love in the Spirit.
”
