Colossians 1:9-13

9For this reason we also, 1since the day we heard about it, 2have not ceased praying for you and asking that you may be filled with the 3 4knowledge of His will in all spiritual 5wisdom and understanding,

10so that you will 6walk in a manner worthy of the Lord, 7 8to please Him in all respects, 9bearing fruit in every good work and 10increasing in the 11knowledge of God;

11 12strengthened with all power, according to 13His glorious might, 14for the attaining of all perseverance and 15patience; 16joyously

12giving thanks to 17the Father, who has qualified us 18to share in 19the inheritance of the 20saints in 21light.

13 22For He rescued us from the 23 24domain of darkness, and transferred us to the kingdom of 25 26His beloved Son,
