For this cause I also, having heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus, and of your love to all the saints,

far above all rule, and authority, and power, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come;

in which ye once walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the powers of the air, the spirit that is now working in the sons of disobedience;

For by grace ye have been saved, through faith; and this is not of yourselves; it is the gift of God;

For this cause [I bend my knees], I Paul, the prisoner of Christ Jesus for you gentiles;

To me, who am less than the least of all saints, was this grace given, to make known among the gentiles the glad tidings of the unsearchable riches of Christ,

For this cause I bend my knees to the Father,

This therefore I say, and charge you in the Lord, that ye no longer walk as the rest of the gentiles walk in the vanity of their mind,

For of this ye are sure, since ye know that no whoremonger, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, hath an inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and God.

"For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife, and they two shall be one flesh."

This mystery is a great one; but I am speaking of Christ and of the church.

Children, obey your parents in the Lord; for this is right.

for our wrestling is not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the worldrulers of this darkness, against the spiritual hosts of evil in the heavenly regions.

praying with all prayer and entreaty at all times in the Spirit; and watching to this end with all perseverance and entreaty for all the saints,

whom I have sent to you for this very purpose, that ye may know about us, and that he may comfort your hearts.
