Colossians 1:9-14
Legacy Standard Bible
9 For this reason also, (A)since the day we heard, (B)we have not ceased to pray for you and to ask that you may be filled with the [a](C)full knowledge of His will in all spiritual (D)wisdom and understanding, 10 so that you may (E)walk in a manner worthy of the Lord, [b](F)to please Him in all respects, (G)bearing fruit in every good work and [c]multiplying in the [d]full knowledge of God; 11 (H)being strengthened with all power, according to [e]His glorious might, [f]for the attaining of all steadfastness and [g]patience; (I)joyously 12 giving thanks to (J)the Father, who has qualified us [h]to share in (K)the inheritance of the [i]saints in (L)light. 13 Who rescued us from the (M)authority of darkness, and transferred us to the kingdom of (N)the Son of His love, 14 (O)in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.
