9 For this reason we also, since the day we heard
it, do not cease to pray for you, and to ask that
you may be filled with the knowledge of His will
in all wisdom and spiritual understanding 10
that you may have a walk worthy of the Lord,
fully pleasing Him, being fruitful in every good
work and increasing in the knowledge of God 11

glorious power, for all patience and
longsuffering with joy

12 giving thanks to the Father who has qualified
us to be partakers of the inheritance of the
saints in the light. 13 He has delivered us
from the power of darkness and conveyed us into
the kingdom of the Son of His love, 14 in whom
we have redemption through His blood, the
forgiveness of sins.

Wisdom Understanding
He will do only that which is in his spiritual
interest, or what is good for him on a spiritual
level. Some things even right in themselves are
not best for the Christian. It does not
necessarily take all wisdom and spiritual
understanding to know the difference between
right and wrong, or the good and the bad. But it
does require such wisdom and understanding to
know the better over the good, and the best over
the better, and having recognized the difference
to then make the best choice rather than just
refuse the bad. - Weaver
