This is why, since I heard about your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all the saints,

That is why you are no longer strangers and foreigners but fellow citizens with the saints and members of God's household,

This is why I, Paul, a prisoner of Christ Jesus for the sake of the heathen --

That is why God says, "When he went up to the highest place, he led captives into captivity and gave gifts to people."

for the light is making everything visible. That is why it says, "Wake up, sleeper! Arise from the dead, and the Messiah will shine on you.''

"That is why a man will leave his father and mother and be united with his wife, and the two will become one flesh."

This is why you must take up the full armor of God, so that you may be able to resist in the evil day, and having prepared everything, to take your stand.

that is why I am sending him to you, to let you know how I am and to encourage your hearts.
