Colossians 1:9

6 Which has come to you; and which in all the world is giving fruit and increase, as it has done in you from the day when it came to your ears and you had true knowledge of the grace of God;

7 As it was given to you by Epaphras, our well-loved helper, who is a true servant of Christ for us,

8 And who, himself, made clear to us your love in the Spirit.

9 For this reason, we, from the day when we had word of it, keep on in prayer for you, that you may be full of the knowledge of his purpose, with all wisdom and experience of the Spirit,

10 Living uprightly in the approval of the Lord, giving fruit in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God;

11 Full of strength in the measure of the great power of his glory, so that you may undergo all troubles with joy;

12 Giving praise to the Father who has given us a part in the heritage of the saints in light;
