because of the hope which is laid up for you in the heavens, whereof ye heard before in the word of the truth of the gospel,

Through the hope which is in store for you in heaven; knowledge of which was given to you before in the true word of the good news,

δια την ελπιδα την αποτεταμιευμενην δια σας εν τοις ουρανοις, την οποιαν προηκουσατε εν τω λογω της αληθειας του ευαγγελιου,

For the hope which is laid up for you in heaven, whereof ye heard before in the word of the truth of the gospel;
