As he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, for us to be holy and blameless before him in love:

Having determined us beforehand for adoption as a son by Jesus Christ to him, according to benevolence of his will,

Among whom also we then all occupied ourselves in the eager desire? of our flesh, doing the wills of the flesh and the thoughts; and were by nature children of wrath, as also the rest.

That by revelation he made Known to me the mystery; (as I before wrote briefly,

Which in other generations was not made known to the sons of men, as now has been revealed to his holy sent and to the prophets by the Spirit:

And to him being able to do above all things more abundantly above what we ask or think, according to the power being energetic in us,

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

Therefore this I say, and testify in the Lord, that ye no more walk as also the rest of the nations, in the vanity of their mind,

If ye heard him, and were taught in him, as is the truth in Jesus:

And be ye kind one to another, having good bowels, favoring each other, as also God in Christ Jesus favored you.

Be ye therefore imitators of God, as dearly beloved children;

And walk ye in love, as also Christ loved us, and gave himself for us a gift and sacrifice to God for a smell of sweet odor.

And fornication, and all uncleanness, or overreaching, let it not be named with you, as becomes the holy;

For ye were then darkness, and now light in the Lord: walk ye as children of light:

See therefore how ye walk accurately, not as unwise, but as wise,

Women, yield ye obedience to your own husbands, as to the Lord.

For the husband is the head of the wife, as also Christ the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body.

But as the church is subjected to Christ, so also wives to their own husbands in everything.

Husbands, love your own wives, as also Christ loved the church, and delivered himself up for it;

So ought men to love their own wives as their own bodies. He loving his wife, loves himself.

For none at any time hates his own flesh; but brings it up and cherishes it, as also the Lord the church:

But ye also altogether, let each so love his own wife as himself: and the wife that she fear her husband.

Servants, listen to lords according to the flesh, with fear and tremor, in simplicity of your heart, as to Christ;

Not with eye-service, as menpleasers; but as servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the soul:

As to the rest, my brethren, be strengthened in the Lord, and in the strength of his power.

For which I am an ambassador in perplexity: that in it I might speak freely, as I ought to speak.
