10 athat you may walk worthy of the Lord, bfully pleasing Him, cbeing fruitful in every good work and increasing in the dknowledge of God;  
11 astrengthened with all might, according to His glorious power, bfor all patience and longsuffering cwith joy;  
12 agiving thanks to the Father who has qualified us to be partakers of bthe inheritance of the saints in the light.

14 ain whom we have redemption1 through His blood, the forgiveness of sins.  
15 He is athe image of the invisible God, bthe firstborn over all creation.  
16 For aby Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or bdominions or principalities or2 powers. All things were created cthrough Him and for Him.  
17 aAnd He is before all things, and in Him ball things consist.  
18 And aHe is the head of the body, the church, who is the beginning, bthe firstborn from the dead, that in all things He may have the preeminence.
