above all rule, power, and might, and domination, and above all names that are named, not in this world only, but also in the world to come.

But God, which is rich in mercy through his great love wherewith he loved us,

But now in Christ Jesus, ye which a while ago were far off, are made nigh by the blood of Christ.

Now, therefore, ye are no more strangers and foreigners: but citizens with the saints, and of the household of God,

Let there be but one Lord, one faith, one baptism:

That he ascended: what meaneth it, but that he also descended first into the lowest parts of the earth?

But let us follow the truth in love, and in all things grow in him which is the head, that is to say Christ,

not with service in the eyesight, as men-pleasers: but as the servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart

For we wrestle not against flesh and blood: but against rule, against power, and against worldly rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness for heavenly things.
