Bible Answer: Greetings again Effie, Cheryl has provided a good answer! Here is how this verse is rendered in the English Standard Version: "First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for all of you, because your faith is proclaimed in all the world." Here is a bit of commentary on this verse.. "1:8 I thank my God. In every letter Paul wrote, he expressed his gratitude for those who would receive it (e.g., 1 Cor. 1:4), except in his letter to the Galatians, whose defection from the true gospel caused him to dispense with any opening commendations (Gal. 1:6-12). your faith. The genuineness of their salvation. The testimony of the church in Rome was so strong that in A.D. 49 the emperor Claudius expelled all the Jews because of the influence of "Chrestus," which was undoubtedly a reference to Christ (cf. Acts 18:2). throughout the whole world. As the center of the Roman Empire and the inhabited world, whatever happened in Rome became known universally." (1) "1:8 thank. Paul often began his letters with thanks (see 1 Cor. 1:4; Eph. 1:16; Phil. 1:3; Col. 1:3; 1 Thess. 1:2; 2 Thess. 1:3; 2 Tim. 1:3; Philemon 4). through Jesus Christ. The Christian must go through Christ not only for requests to God (see John 15:16) but also to give thanks. throughout the whole world. Every place where the gospel has been preached."
