7 just as you learned it from Epaphras, our dear fellow slave who is a faithful minister of Christ on our behalf,
8 who also made clear to us your love in the Spirit.
9 Because of this also we, from the day we heard about it, did not cease praying for you, and asking that you may be filled with the knowledge of his will in all wisdom and spiritual insight,
10 so that you may live in a manner worthy of the Lord, to please him in all respects, bearing fruit in every good deed and increasing in the knowledge of God,
11 enabled with all power, according to his glorious might, for all steadfastness and patience with joy,
12 giving thanks to the Father who has qualified you for a share of the inheritance of the saints in light,
13 who has rescued us from the domain of darkness and transferred us to the kingdom of the Son he loves,
