For this reason we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to ask:
- that you may be filled with the knowledge of His will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding;
- that you may walk worthy of the Lord,
- fully pleasing Him,
- being fruitful in every good work and
- increasing in the knowledge of God;
- strengthened with all might, according to His glorious power, for all patience and longsuffering with joy;
- giving thanks to the Father who has qualified us to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in the light. Colossians 1:9-12
