For this reason, since the day WE heard about YOU, WE have not stopped PRAYING for YOU and asking GOD to fill YOU with the KNOWLEDGE of GOD'S WILL through ALL SPIRITUAL WISDOM (JESUS CHRIST) and SPIRITUAL UNDERSTANDING (HOLY SPIRIT). And WE PRAY this in order that YOU may LIVE A LIFE WORTHY OF THE LORD and may PLEASE GOD IN EVERY WAY: BEARING FRUIT in every GOOD WORK, GROWING in KNOWLEDGE of GOD, being STRENGTHENED with ALL POWER according to GOD'S GLORIOUS MIGHT so that YOU may have GREAT ENDURANCE and PATIENCE, and JOYFULLY giving THANKS to the FATHER, who has QUALIFIED YOU to SHARE in the INHERITANCE of the SAINTS in the KINGDOM OF LIGHT.(BELIEF) For GOD has RESCUED US from the DOMINION of DARKNESS (UNBELIEF) and brought US into the KINGDOM of the SON GOD LOVES (HEAVEN), in CHRIST WE have REDEMPTION, the FORGIVENESS OF SINS.
THE SUPREMACY OF CHRIST
CHRIST is the IMAGE of the INVISIBLE GOD, the FIRSTBORN OVER ALL CREATION. For BY CHRIST ALL THINGS WERE CREATED: THINGS IN HEAVEN and ON EARTH, VISIBLE and INVISIBLE, whether THRONES or POWERS or RULERS or AUTHORITIES; ALL THINGS WERE CREATED BY CHRIST AND FOR CHRIST. CHRIST IS BEFORE ALL THINGS, and IN CHRIST ALL THINGS HOLD TOGETHER. And CHRIST IS THE HEAD OF THE BODY, THE CHURCH; CHRIST IS THE BEGINNING and THE FIRSTBORN FROM THE DEAD, SO THAT IN EVERYTHING CHRIST MIGHT HAVE THE SUPREMACY. For GOD was PLEASED to HAVE ALL GOD'S FULLNESS DWELL IN CHRIST, and to RECONCILE to HIMSELF ALL THINGS, whether THINGS ON EARTH or THINGS IN HEAVEN, by making PEACE THROUGH CHRIST'S BLOOD, SHED ON THE CROSS. AMEN!
