Colossians 1:6-14

English Standard Version

⁶ which has come to you, as indeed ^(A)in the whole world it is ^(B)bearing fruit and increasing—as it also does among you, since the day you ^(C)heard it and understood ^(D)the grace of God in truth, ⁷ just as you learned it from ^(E)Epaphras our beloved ^(F)fellow servant.^[a] He is ^(G)a faithful minister of Christ on your^[b] behalf ⁸ and has made known to us your ^(H)love in the Spirit.

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)being 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, ^14 (Y)in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.
