because it was pleasing that in Him all the fulness should dwell;

if, at least, ye continue in the faith, founded and steadfast, and not moved away from the hope of the Gospel, which ye heard, which was preached in all creation under the heaven, of which I, Paul, was made a minister.

of which I was made a minister, according to the dispensation of God, which was given to me for you, to fulfill the word of God,

the mystery which has been hidden from the ages and from the generations, but was now made manifest to His saints;

having blotted out the hand-writing in decrees against us, which was contrary to us, and He has taken it out of the midst, nailing it to the cross;

Wives, submit yourselves to your husbands, as it was fitting in the Lord.
