6. Which is come to you, as it is in all the world; and bringeth forth fruit, as it doth also in you, since the day ye heard of it, and knew the grace of God in truth:
7. As ye also learned from Epaphras our dear fellow-servant, who is for you a faithful minister of Christ;
8. Who also declared to us your love in the Spirit.
9. For this cause we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to desire that ye may be filled with the knowledge of his will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding;
10. That ye may walk worthy of the Lord to all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God;
11. Strengthened with all might, according to his glorious power, to all patience and long-suffering with joyfulness;
12. Giving thanks to the Father, who hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light:
