# Because of this love "Because the Holy Spirit has enabled you to love other believers" # we heard ... we have not stopped ... We pray The word "we" does not include the Colossians. # from the day we heard this "from the day Epaphras told us these things" # that you will be filled with the knowledge of his will Paul speaks of the Colossian believers as though they were containers. Alternate translation: "that God will fill you with what you need to know so that you can do his will" # in all wisdom and spiritual understanding "so that the Holy Spirit will make you wise and able to understand what God wants you to do"
