I offer no pithy, insightful commentary.  I’ll just let this verse speak for itself.  It’s a damn good one - especially with the rendering that the ESV offers.  In the words of Ferris Bueller, this snippet of Scripture is “so choice.”

“The Father has delivered us from the domain of darkness and transferred us to the kingdom of his beloved Son, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.” Colossians 1:13-14 (ESV)
