⁹ And so, ^(I)from the day we heard, ^(J)we have not ceased to pray for you, asking that ^(K)you may be filled with the knowledge of his will in all ^(L)spiritual wisdom and understanding, ¹⁰ so as ^(M)to walk in a manner worthy of the Lord, ^(N)fully pleasing to him, ^(O)bearing fruit in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God. ^11 (P)May you be strengthened with all power, according to his glorious might, for ^(Q)all endurance and patience ^(R)with joy, ^12 (S)giving thanks^[c] to the Father, who has qualified you^[d] to share in ^(T)the inheritance of the saints in light. ¹³ He ^(U)has delivered us from ^(V)the domain of darkness and transferred us to ^(W)the kingdom of ^(X)his beloved Son,
