Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.

CL 1.9-22
9 For this reason we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray
for you, and to ask that (1B.) you may be filled with (1c.)
the knowledge of His will (2c.) in all wisdom and (3c.) spiritual
understanding;
10 that you may 2B. walk worthy of the Lord,
(1c.) fully pleasing Him, (2c.) being fruitful in every good work and
(3c.) increasing in the knowledge of God;
11 (4c.) strengthened with all might, according to His glorious power, for

12 (7c) giving thanks to the Father who has qualified us to be partakers of
the inheritance of the saints in the light.
(Parenthetical Praise of Christ – vv. 13-20)
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. 15 He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn
over all creation. 16 For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and
that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or
principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and for Him. 17
And He is before all things, and in Him all things consist. 18 And He is the
head of the body, the church, who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead,
that in all things He may have the preeminence. 19 For it pleased the Father
that in Him all the fullness should dwell, 20 and by Him to reconcile all things
to Himself, by Him, whether things on earth or things in heaven, having made
peace through the blood of His cross.
21 And you, who once were alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works,
yet now He has reconciled 22 in the body of His flesh through death,
[that He could be able]
to present you holy, and blameless, and above reproach in His sight____
Col. 1.22b
3B. PRESENTATION TO GOD (Purpose of 1B-2B) to present you holy, and
blameless, and above reproach in His sight– confirming the Will of God
1C. HOLY in Your sight I must be presented.
2C. BLAMELESS in Your sight I must be presented.
3C. ABOVE REPROACH in Your sight I must be presented.
