Context is King!
Verse 1 - Apostle Paul and Timothy
our brother = New Creation
Verse 2 -
Brothers & Sisters in Christ Jesus = New Creation
Verse 3 - when we pray for
you = New Creation
Verse 4 - your faith in Christ Jesus and of the love
you have for all God’s people = New Creation
Verse 5 - spring from the hope stored up for
you in heaven
Verse 6 - A Gospel bearing fruit and growing
throughout the whole world = New Creation
