Translations
Hearing of thy love and faith, which thou hast toward the Lord Jesus, and toward all saints;
hearing of your love and the faithfulness you hold toward Adonai Yeshua, and for all the holy ones.
because I hear of your love for all the holy ones and your faithful belief in the Lord Jesus.
because I hear about your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all the saints.
Footnotes
The Greek lists "love and faith toward the Lord Jesus and toward all the holy ones or saints" in a single sweep, but this is almost certainly a chiasm—a common Hebraic-Greek rhetorical device where the second element matches the first in reverse: faith belongs toward the Lord, and love belongs toward the holy ones. F.O.G. preserves the Greek word order faithfully; F.O.G.M. unpacks the implied chiastic pairing into its natural English logic, so each virtue is matched to its proper object.
