My prayer is that the God of Jesus Christ our Lord, the all- glorious Father, may inspire you with wisdom and true insight through a fuller knowledge of himself;

What my Father has entrusted to me is more than all else; and no one can snatch anything out of the Father's hands.

"Do not hold me," Jesus said; "for I have not yet ascended to the Father. But go to my Brothers, and tell them that I am ascending to him who is my Father and their Father, my God and their God."

So that with one heart and one voice you may praise the God and Father of Jesus Christ, our Lord.

Blessed is the God and Father of Jesus Christ our Lord, the all-merciful Father, the God ever ready to console,

The God and Father of the Lord Jesus--he who is for ever blessed--knows that I am speaking the truth.

And that every tongue should acknowledge JESUS CHRIST as LORD- -to the glory of God the Father.

Who

And, therefore, those whose lives are based on faith share the blessings bestowed upon the faith of Abraham.

Heavenly

The same mighty power was exerted upon the Christ, when he raised the Christ from the dead and 'caused him to sit at his right hand' on high, exalting him above all Angels and Archangels of every rank,

And, through our union with Christ Jesus, God raised us with him, and caused us to sit with him on high,

So that now to the Archangels and to all the Powers on high should be made known, through the Church, the all-embracing wisdom of God,

For ours is no struggle against enemies of flesh and blood, but against all the various Powers of Evil that hold sway in the Darkness around us, against the Spirits of Wickedness on high.

Then you will not show yourselves slow to learn, but you will copy those who, through faith and patience, are now entering upon the enjoyment of God's promises.

Places, or, things

For ours is no struggle against enemies of flesh and blood, but against all the various Powers of Evil that hold sway in the Darkness around us, against the Spirits of Wickedness on high.

In christ

In view of that Divine Order which was to mark the completion of the ages, when he should make everything, both in Heaven and on earth, center in him.

At that time you will recognize that I am in union with the Father, and you with me, and I with you.

Any unfruitful branch in me he takes away, and he cleanses every fruitful branch, that it may bear more fruit.

That they all may be one--that as thou, Father, art in union with us--and so the world may believe that thou hast sent me as thy Messenger.

So we, by our union in Christ, many though we are, form but one body, and individually we are related one to another as its parts.

But you, by your union with Christ Jesus, belong to God; and Christ, by God's will, became not only our Wisdom, but also our Righteousness, Holiness, and Deliverance,

For just as the human body is one whole, and yet has many parts, and all its parts, many though they are, form but one body, so it is with the Christ;

Therefore, if any one is in union with Christ, he is a new being! His old life has passed away; a new life has begun!

And I know that, when I come to you, it will be with a full measure of blessing from Christ.

For it pleased the Father that in him the divine nature in all its fulness should dwell,
