Colossians 1:9-14

9For this reason also, since the day we heard this, we haven’t stopped praying for you. We are asking that you may be filled with the knowledge of his will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding,

10so that you may walk worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing to him: bearing fruit in every good work and growing in the knowledge of God,

11being strengthened with all power, according to his glorious might, so that you may have great endurance and patience, joyfully

12giving thanks to the Father, who has enabled you to share in the saints’ inheritance in the light.

13He has rescued us from the domain of darkness and transferred us into the kingdom of the Son he loves.

14In him we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.
