11 [a]They show the glory of thy kingdom, and speak of thy power,
12 To cause his [b]power to be known to the sons of men, and the glorious renown of his kingdom.
13 Thy (A)kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and thy dominion endureth throughout all ages.
14 The Lord upholdeth all that [c]fall, and lifteth up all that are ready to fall.
15 The eyes of [d]all wait upon thee, and thou givest them their meat in due season.
16 Thou openest thine hand, and fillest all things living of thy good pleasure.
17 The Lord is [e]righteous in all his ways, and holy in all his works.
18 The Lord is near unto all that call upon him, yea, to all that call upon him in [f]truth.
19 ¶ So he departed thence, and found Elisha the son of Shaphat, who was plowing with twelve yoke of oxen before him, and was with the twelfth: and Elijah went towards him, and cast his mantel upon him.
20 And he left the oxen, and ran after Elijah, and said, [a]Let me, I pray thee, kiss my father and my mother, and then I will follow thee. Who answered him, Go, return: for what have I done to thee?
21 And when he went back again from him, he took a couple of oxen, and slew them, and sod their flesh with the [b]instruments of the oxen, and gave unto the people, and they did eat: then he arose and went after Elijah, and ministered unto him.
9 For this cause we also, since the day we heard of it, cease not to pray for you, and to desire that ye might be fulfilled with knowledge of [a]his will in all wisdom, and spiritual understanding.
10 That ye might walk worthy of the Lord, and please him in all things, being fruitful in all good works, and increasing in the knowledge of God,
11 [b]Strengthened with all might through his glorious power, unto all patience, and longsuffering with [c]joyfulness,
12 [d]Giving thanks unto the [e]Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the Saints in [f]light,
13 Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom (A)of his dear Son,
14 [g]In whom we have redemption through his blood, that is, the forgiveness of sins.
