¹¹ I pray that you’ll be given all possible strength, according to the power of his glory, so that you’ll have complete patience and become truly steadfast and joyful.

¹² And I pray that you will learn to give thanks to the father, who has made you fit to share the inheritance of God’s holy ones in the light. ¹³ He has delivered us from the power of darkness, and transferred us into the kingdom of his beloved son. ¹⁴ He is the one in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.
