Revised Common Lectionary (Complementary)
10 (A)All Your works shall give thanks to You, O Lord,
And Your (B)godly ones shall bless You.
11 They shall speak of the (C)glory of Your kingdom
And talk of Your power;
12 To (D)make known to the sons of men [a]Your mighty acts

13 Your kingdom is [c]an (F)everlasting kingdom,
And Your dominion endures throughout all generations.

Then he arose and followed Elijah and ministered to him.
9 For this reason also, (A)since the day we heard of it, (B)we have not ceased to pray for you and to ask that you may be filled with the [a](C)knowledge of His will in all spiritual (D)wisdom and understanding, 10 so that you will (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]increasing in the [d]knowledge of God; 11 (H)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.
The Incomparable Christ
13 [j]For He rescued us from the [k](M)domain of darkness, and transferred us to the kingdom of [l](N)His beloved Son, 14 (O)in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.
