Colossians 1:9-14 NKJV



Colossians 1:9-14 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.


He has delivered us from the power of darkness and conveyed us into the kingdom of the Son of His love,


in whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins.


Ephesians 1:15-23 Therefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all the saints,
 
do not cease to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers;


that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him,


the eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that you may know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints,
 
and what is the exceeding greatness of His power toward us who believe, according to the working of His mighty power


which He worked in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in heavenly places,


far above all principality and power and might and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age but also in that which is to come.


And He put all things under His feet, and gave Him to be head over all things to the church,


which is His body, the fullness of Him who fills all in all.


Romans 12:1-3 I beseech you therefore brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service.


And so not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.


For I say, through the grace given to me, to everyone who is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think, but to think soberly, as God has dealt to each one a measure of faith.


Proverbs 9:10-11 "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, And the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.


For by me your days will be multiplied, And years of life will be added to you.


Hebrews 11:1,3,6 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.


By faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that the things which are seen were not made of things which are visible.


But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.


Colossians 4:2-6 Continue earnestly in prayer, being vigilant in it with thanksgiving;


meanwhile praying also for us, that God would open to us a door for the word, to speak the mystery of Christ, for which I am also in chains,


that I may make it manifest as I ought to speak.


Walk in wisdom toward those who are outside, redeeming the time.


Let your speech always be with grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought to answer each one.
 
Ecclesiastics 4:9-12 Two are better than one, Because they have a good reward for their labor;


For if they fall, one will lift up his companion, But woe to him who is alone when he falls,  For he has no one to help him up, 


Again, if two lie down together, they will keep warm; But how can one be warm alone?


Though one may be overpowered by another, two can withstand him, And a threefold cord is not quickly broken.
