because of the hope reserved for you in heaven. You have already heard about this hope in the message of truth, the gospel

and he has told us about your love in the Spirit.

Let the message about the Messiah dwell richly among you, teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom, and singing psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs, with gratitude in your hearts to God.

Tychicus, our dearly loved brother, faithful servant, and fellow slave in the Lord, will tell you all the news about me.

He is with Onesimus, a faithful and dearly loved brother, who is one of you. They will tell you about everything here.

For I testify about him that he works hard for you, for those in Laodicea, and for those in Hierapolis.
