Colossians 1:9-14

9For this reason we also, from the day we heard [of your faith and love], do not cease praying and asking for you, to the end that ye may be filled with the full knowledge of his will, in all wisdom and spiritual understanding,

10[so as] to walk worthily of the Lord unto all well-pleasing, bearing fruit in every good work, and growing by the true knowledge of 1God;

11strengthened with all power according to the might of his glory unto all endurance and longsuffering with joy;

12giving thanks to the Father, who has made us fit for sharing the portion of the saints in light,

13who has delivered us from the authority of darkness, and translated [us] into the kingdom of the Son of his love:

14in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins;
