The word "we" refers to Paul and Timothy but not to the Colossians. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-exclusive]])

# into joyful perseverance and patience
|
||||
|
||||
Paul speaks of the Colossian believers as if God would move them into a location of perseverance and patience. In reality, he is praying that they will always be joyful and never stop trusting in God and that they will be completely patient as they honor him. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metaphor]])

# when a young woman went to the king

These words are repeated from the beginning of [verse 12] (./12.md) because so much background information is given there.

# whatever she desired was given to her
|

|

This can be stated in active form. Alternate translation: "she could take whatever she desired" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-activepassive]])

This is the romantic use of the word "love."

# received acceptance and favor before him
|

# received favor and kindness before him
|

|

These idioms mean the same thing and emphasize how much the Esther pleased the king. Alternate translation: "greatly pleased him" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-idiom]] and [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-doublet]])

The words "favor" and "kindness" here are probably a doublet or hendiadys that emphasizes how much the Esther pleased the king. The word translated "kindness" here is translated "favor" in [verse 9](./09.md); the word translated "kindness" is translated "favor" in [verse 15](./15.md) . Alternate translation: "greatly pleased him" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-hendiadys]] and [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-doublet]])
