NSB⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁹ Since the day we heard about you, we have not ceased to pray and make request for you. We pray for you to be filled with the [intimate accurate] knowledge (discernment) (recognition) of his will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding. (Philippians 1:9) (John 17:3) ¹⁰ Walk worthily of God, fully pleasing him. Bear fruit in every good work, and increase in the knowledge (Greek: epignosis: full discernment, recognition) of God. ¹¹ God will strengthen you with all power, according to the might of his glory, to all patience and longsuffering with joy. ¹² Give thanks to the Father, who made us partakers of the inheritance of the holy ones in the light. ¹³ He rescued us from the power of darkness, and transferred us into the kingdom of the Son of his love (the Son he dearly loves).
