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
Evangelical Heritage Version

9 For this reason, from the day we heard about your love, we also have not stopped praying for you. We keep asking that you would be filled with the knowledge of his will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding, 10 so that you might live in a way that is worthy of the Lord. Our goal is that you please him by bearing fruit in every kind of good work and by growing in the knowledge of God, 11 as you are being strengthened with all power because of his glorious might working in you. Then you will have complete endurance and patience, joyfully 12 giving thanks to the Father, who qualified us[a] to share in the inheritance of the saints in the kingdom of light.

What the Father Did Through Christ

13 The Father rescued us from the domain of darkness and transferred us into the kingdom of the Son he loves, 14 in whom we have redemption,[b] the forgiveness of sins.
