Colossians 1:10-13

10Then the way you live will always honor and please the Lord, and your lives will produce every kind of good fruit. All the while, you will grow as you learn to know God better and better.

11We also pray that you will be strengthened with all his glorious power so you will have all the endurance and patience you need. May you be filled with joy,

12always thanking the Father. He has enabled you to share in the inheritance that belongs to his people, who live in the light.

13For he has rescued us from the kingdom of darkness and transferred us into the Kingdom of his dear Son,
