Colossians 1:9-14

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} being strengthened^(F) with all power,^(G) according to his glorious^(H) might, so that you may have great endurance and patience, joyfully ¹² giving thanks to the Father, who has enabled you^[b] to share in the saints’ 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} In him we have redemption,^[c] the forgiveness of sins.
