Colossians 1:10-12

New Testament for Everyone

¹⁰ This will mean that you’ll be able to conduct yourselves in a manner worthy of the Lord, and so give him real delight, as you bear fruit in every good work and grow up in the knowledge of God. ¹¹ I pray that you’ll be given all possible strength, according to the power of his glory, so that you’ll have complete patience and become truly steadfast and joyful.

¹² And I pray that you will learn to give thanks to the father, who has made you fit to share the inheritance of God’s holy ones in the light.
