# 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"
