Col 1:10-19 is my favorite Scripture passage:
10. That ye may walk worthy of the Lord unto 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, unto all patience and longsuffering with joyfulness;
12. Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light:
13. Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son:
14. In whom we have redemption through his blood, even, the forgiveness of sins:
15. Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature:
16. For by him all things were created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him and for him:
17. And he is before all things, and by him all things consist:
18. And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the first born from the dead; that in all things he might have preeminence.
19 . For it pleased the Father that in him should all
fulness dwell;
