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.

Colossians 1:9-14
Common English Bible

9 Because of this, since the day we heard about you, we haven’t stopped praying for you and asking for you to be filled with the knowledge of God’s will, with all wisdom and spiritual understanding. 10 We’re praying this so that you can live lives that are worthy of the Lord and pleasing to him in every way: by producing fruit in every good work and growing in the knowledge of God; 11 by being strengthened through his glorious might so that you endure everything and have patience; 12 and by giving thanks with joy to the Father. He made it so you could take part in the inheritance, in light granted to God’s holy people. 13 He rescued us from the control of darkness and transferred us into the kingdom of the Son he loves. 14 He set us free through the Son and forgave our sins.
