New Century Version

¹¹ God will strengthen you with his own great power so that you will not give up when troubles come, but you will be patient. ¹² And you will joyfully give thanks to the Father who has made you^[a] able to have a share in all that he has prepared for his people in the kingdom of light. ¹³ God has freed us from the power of darkness, and he brought us into the kingdom of his dear Son.
