Which he gave us in full measure in all wisdom and care;

the same in himself to have it declared when the time were full come: that all things, both the things which are in heaven, and also the things which are in earth, should be gathered together, even in Christ. That is to say, in him

The Spirit is the guarantee [the first installment, the pledge, a foretaste] of our inheritance until the redemption of God’s own [purchased] possession [His believers], to the praise of His glory.

that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, would give you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the full knowledge of him,

And that having the eyes of your heart full of light, you may have knowledge of what is the hope of his purpose, what is the wealth of the glory of his heritage in the saints,

which is His body, the fullness of Him who fills and completes all things in all [believers].

But God, being full of mercy, through the great love which he had for us,

That in the time to come he might make clear the full wealth of his grace in his mercy to us in Christ Jesus:

So then ye are no more strangers and sojourners, but ye are fellow-citizens with the saints, and of the household of God,

to wit , that the Gentiles are fellow-heirs, and fellow-members of the body, and fellow-partakers of the promise in Christ Jesus through the gospel,

and enlighten all men upon the new order of that divine secret which God the Creator of all concealed from eternity ??10 intending to let the full sweep of the divine wisdom be disclosed now by the church to the angelic Rulers and Authorities in the heavenly sphere,

And to understand--though it surpasses all understanding--the love of the Christ; and so be filled to the full with God himself.

Now to him who is able to do in full measure more than all our desires or thoughts, through the power which is working in us,

But each one of us is granted his own grace, as determined by the full measure of Christ's gift.

He that descended is the same also that ascended up far above all heavens, that he might fill all things.)

[and He did this] to fully equip and perfect the saints (God’s people) for works of service, to build up the body of Christ [the church];

until we all arrive at the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, at the full-grown man, at the measure of the stature of the fulness of the Christ;

But saying true words in love, may come to full growth in him, who is the head, even Christ;

From Him the whole body [the church, in all its various parts], joined and knitted firmly together by what every joint supplies, when each part is working properly, causes the body to grow and mature, building itself up in [unselfish] love.

who, having ceased to feel, themselves did give up to the lasciviousness, for the working of all uncleanness in greediness;

For this reason, laying aside falsehood, every one of you should speak the truth to his fellow man; for we are, as it were, parts of one another.

Do not let unwholesome [foul, profane, worthless, vulgar] words ever come out of your mouth, but only such speech as is good for building up others, according to the need and the occasion, so that it will be a blessing to those who hear [you speak].

And be kind to one another, full of pity, having forgiveness for one another, even as God in Christ had forgiveness for you.

Therefore become imitators of God [copy Him and follow His example], as well-beloved children [imitate their father];

Do not let anyone deceive you with empty words, for because of such things, the wrath of God will fall upon people who are disobedient [to Him].

Be not ye therefore fellow-partakers with them;

And do not take overmuch wine by which one may be overcome, but be full of the Spirit;

And might take it for himself, a church full of glory, not having one mark or fold or any such thing; but that it might be holy and complete.

Put on the full armor of God, so that you may be able to stand against the stratagems of the devil,

Because of this, take up the full armor of God, in order that you may be able to resist in the evil day, and having done everything, to stand.

for which I am an embassador, tho' in chains: that I may duely represent it to the full.
