in whom ye also, after having heard the word of truth, the glad tidings of your salvation, in whom, I say, having also believed, ye were sealed with the Holy Spirit that was promised,

and you also [he raised up], who were dead through your trespasses and sins,

among whom even we all had our way of life in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the thoughts, and were by nature children of wrath, even as others;

that ye were at that time without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers to the covenants of the promise, having no hope, and without God, in the world;

but now, in Christ Jesus, ye, who formerly were afar off, have been brought nigh by the blood of Christ.

And he came and brought the glad tidings of peace to you who were afar off, and of peace to those that were near;

I exhort you, therefore, I the prisoner in the Lord, to walk worthily of the calling with which ye were called,

There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye were called in one hope of your calling;

if indeed ye heard him, and were taught in him, as the truth is in Jesus;

and grieve not the Holy Spirit of God, whereby ye were sealed unto the day of redemption.

For ye were once darkness, but now ye are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light,
