Preeminence of Christ

9 ^aFor this reason we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to ask ^bthat you may be filled with ^cthe knowledge of His will ^din all wisdom and spiritual understanding;

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.

13 He has delivered us from ^athe power of darkness ^band conveyed us into the kingdom of the Son of His love,

14 ^ain whom we have redemption¹ through His blood, the forgiveness of sins.

Colossians 1:11 Strengthened with all might. Made mightily by the divine power. Unto all patience and long-suffering with joyfulness. Nothing requires more grace than patience and long-suffering under wrong, or even fancied wrong. It is especially hard to endure wrong "with joyfulness".
