Concerning the Christians in his day, the apostle Paul wrote: “We... have not ceased praying for you and asking that you may be filled with the accurate knowledge of his will in all wisdom and spiritual comprehension, in order to walk worthily of Jehovah to the end of fully pleasing him. ” ​ — Colossians 1: 9, 10.
Apostel Paulus kirjutas oma aja kristlastele: „Me [pole]... lakanud palvetamast teie eest ja palumast, et teid täidetaks tema tahte täpse tundmisega kogu tarkuses ja vaimses arusaamises, selleks et käia Jehoova vääriliselt, et temale igati meeldida ”.
