according as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love,

In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace,

for an administration of the fullness of times, to head up all things in Christ, both the things in Heaven, and the things on earth, even in Him,

in whom also we have been chosen to an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of Him who works all things according to the counsel of His own will,

that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him,

which He worked in Christ in raising Him from the dead, and He seated Him at His right hand in the heavenlies,

And He has put all things under His feet and gave Him to be Head over all things to the church,

which is His body, the fullness of Him who fills all in all.

For through Him we both have access by one Spirit to the Father.

Now to Him who is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us,

to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, forever. Amen.

But that you, speaking the truth in love, may in all things grow up to Him who is the Head, even Christ;

if indeed you have heard Him and were taught by Him, as the truth is in Jesus.

Let him who stole steal no more, but rather let him labor, working with his hands the thing which is good, so that he may have something to give to him who needs.

And masters, do the same things to them, forbearing threatening, knowing that your Master also is in Heaven. There is no respect of persons with Him.
