Colossians 1:3-14

31We give thanks to God, 2the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, praying always for you, 43since we heard of your faith in Christ Jesus and the 4love which you have 5for 6all the 7saints; 5because of the 8hope 9laid up for you in 10heaven, of which you previously 11heard in the word of truth, 12the gospel 6which has come to you, just as 1314in all the world also it is constantly bearing 15fruit and 16increasing, even as it has been doing in you also since the day you 17heard of it and 18understood the grace of God in truth; 7just as you learned it from 19Epaphras, our 20beloved fellow bond-servant, who is a faithful servant of Christ on our behalf, 8and he also informed us of your 21love in the Spirit.

9For this reason also, 22since the day we heard of it, 23we have not ceased to pray for you and to ask that you may be filled with the 2425knowledge of His will in all spiritual 26wisdom and understanding, 10so that you will 27walk in a manner worthy of the Lord, 2829to please Him in all respects, 30bearing fruit in every good work and 31increasing in the 32knowledge of God; 1133strengthened with all power, according to 34His glorious might, 35for the attaining of all steadfastness and 36patience; 37joyously 12giving thanks to 38the Father, who has qualified us 39to share in 40the inheritance of the 41saints in 42Light. 1343For He rescued us from the 4445domain of darkness, and transferred us to the kingdom of 4647His beloved Son, 1448in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.
