in Whom we also were made a heritage, having been predestinated according to the purpose of Him Who worketh all things after the counsel of His own will;

You also did He make alive, when ye were dead in your trespasses and sins,

among whom we also all once lived in the desires of our flesh, doing the will of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, even as the rest;

even when we were dead in our offenses, made us alive with Christ (by grace ye have been saved),

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

But now, in Christ Jesus, ye who were once afar off were made nigh in the blood of Christ.

and, coming, He proclaimed the Gospel of peace to you who were afar off, and peace to those who were near;

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

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

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

And grieve not the Holy Spirit of God, in Whom ye were sealed unto the day of redemption.

for ye were once darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord; walk as children of light
