We have not ceased to pray for you, asking that you may be filled with the knowledge of his will in all
spiritual wisdom and understanding, to lead a life worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing to him, bearing fruit
in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God. May you be strengthened with all power,
according to his glorious might, for all endurance and patience with joy, giving thanks to the Father, who
has qualified us to share in the inheritance of the saints in light. He has delivered us from the dominion of darkness and transferred us to the kingdom of his beloved Son, in whom we have redemption, the
forgiveness of sins (Col. 1:9-14).
