Colossians 1:9-13

MLV(i) 9 Because of this, we also do not cease praying and asking on your behalf from the day we heard it, in order that you may be filled with the full knowledge of his will in all spiritual wisdom and intelligence, 10 for you to walk worthy of the Lord for pleasing him in everything, bearing-fruit in every good work and growing into the full knowledge of God; 11 being empowered in all power, according to the dominion of his glory, for all endurance and patience with joy, 12 giving-thanks to the Father, who made us sufficient for the part of the inheritance of the holy-ones in the light. 13 He rescued us out of the authority of darkness and transplanted us into the kingdom of the Son of his love;
