because of the hope being reserved for you in the heavens, which ye heard before in the word of the truth of the good-news

If ye truly continue in the faith, founded, and steadfast, and not moved away from the hope of the good-news that ye heard, which was proclaimed in all creation under heaven, of which I Paul became a helper.
