Prayer for the Colossians
Because of this, since we heard about you, we have not stopped praying to God for you, asking that you may be filled with the knowledge of His will through all the wisdom and spiritual understanding he gives.10
May your lifestyle be worthy of the Lord and entirely pleasing to him. May you bear fruit in every good work and grow in the knowledge of God.
11
May you become strong in everything through sharing in the glory of God, so that you may have great endurance and persevere with joy,
12
giving thanks to the Father, who has empowered us to receive our portion in the inheritance of the saints in light.
13
He rescued us from the power of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of his beloved Son.
14
In him, we are redeemed and forgiven.
