that has come to you. In the same way, the gospel is bearing fruit and growing throughout the whole world—just as it has been doing among you since the day you heard it and truly understood God’s grace.
(v6, NIV)
Paul is talking about the true message of the gospel. He is talking to those who have heard it and it is these people who have faith and love springing forth from them. Now, Paul takes a step back to broaden his view and talk about the global perspective. This good work done in those he is writing to is also being done in people all over the world. The gospel is not only limited to a small area or a few minimal groups of people. It really is quite amazing and cause for joy to hear of how it is spreading.
