Colossians 1:9-13 That is why, from the day I first heard of it, I have never given up praying for you and asking God to fill you, through full spiritual wisdom and insight, with a clear knowledge of what his will is,

Goodspeed⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁹ That is why, from the day I first heard of it, I have never given up praying for you and asking God to fill you, through full spiritual wisdom and insight, with a clear knowledge of what his will is, ¹⁰ so that the lives you live may be worthy of your Master and wholly pleasing to him, and you may be fruitful in all kinds of good deeds, and may grow into fuller knowledge of God. ¹¹ Then, so mighty is his majesty, he will nerve you perfectly with strength for the cheerful exercise of endurance and forbearance in every situation, ¹² and you will thank the Father who has entitled you to share the lot of God's people in the realm of light. ¹³ He has rescued us from the dominion of darkness, and has transferred us into the realm of his dear Son,
