Colossians 1:9-14

English Standard Version

⁹And so, ^(A)from the day we heard, ^(B)we have not ceased to pray for you, asking that ^(C)you may be filled with the knowledge of his will in all ^(D)spiritual wisdom and understanding, ¹⁰so as ^(E)to walk in a manner worthy of the Lord, ^(F)fully pleasing to him: ^(G)bearing fruit in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God; ¹¹^(H)being strengthened with all power, according to his glorious might, for ^(I)all endurance and patience ^(J)with joy; ¹²^(K)giving thanks^[a] to the Father, who has qualified you^[b] to share in ^(L)the inheritance of the saints in light. ¹³He ^(M)has delivered us from ^(N)the domain of darkness and transferred us to ^(O)the kingdom of ^(P)his beloved Son, ¹⁴^(Q)in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.
