“May you be made strong
with all the strength that comes from his glorious power,
so that you may have all endurance and patience,
joyfully giving thanks to the Father,
who has enabled you to share in the inheritance of the saints in the light.
He has rescued us from the power of darkness
and transferred us into the kingdom of his beloved Son,
in whom we have redemption,
the forgiveness of sins.”
– Colossians 1:11-14 (NRSVue)
