Colossians 1:9-14
Holman Christian Standard Bible
Prayer for Spiritual Growth
9 For this reason also, since the day we heard this, we haven’t stopped praying for you. We are asking(A) that you may be filled with the knowledge(B) of His will(C) in all wisdom and spiritual understanding,[a] 10 so that you may walk worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing to Him, bearing fruit in every good work(D) and growing in the knowledge of God.(E) 11 May you be strengthened(F) with all power,(G) according to His glorious(H) might, for all endurance and patience, with joy 12 giving thanks to the Father, who has enabled you[b] to share in the saints’[c] inheritance in the light.(I) 13 He has rescued(J) us from the domain of darkness and transferred us into the kingdom(K) of the Son(L) He loves.(M) 14 We have redemption,[d] the forgiveness of sins, in Him.
