Book of colossians, 1st chapter

9 And so, from the day we heard, we have not ceased to pray for you,
asking that you may be filled with the knowledge of his will in all
spiritual wisdom and understanding, 10 so as to walk in a manner
worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing to him, bearing fruit in every good
work and increasing in the knowledge of God. 11 May you be
strengthened with all power, according to his glorious might, for all
endurance and patience with joy, 12 giving thanks to the Father, who
has qualified you to share in the inheritance of the saints in light.
13 He has delivered us from the domain of darkness and transferred us
to the kingdom of his beloved Son, 14 in whom we have redemption, the
forgiveness of sins. 15 He is the image of the invisible God, the
firstborn of all creation. 16 For by him all things were created, in
heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or
dominions or rulers or authorities--all things were created through
him and for him. 17 And he is before all things, and in him all things
hold together. 18 And he is the head of the body, the church. He is
the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in everything he
might be preeminent. 19 For in him all the fullness of God was pleased
to dwell, 20 and through him to reconcile to himself all things,
whether on earth or in heaven, making peace by the blood of his cross.
