As he hath chosen us through him, before the foundation of the world, that we might be holy and blameless before him in love,

in the desires of the flesh, doing the will of the flesh and the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, even as the others.

as I wrote before in few words,

Which in other ages was not made known to the sons of men, as it hath now been revealed to the holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit,

Now to him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us,

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

This therefore I say and testify in the Lord, that ye no longer walk as the rest of the Gentiles, in the vanity of your mind:

and been taught by him, (as the truth is in Jesus) To put off,

And be ye kind one to another, tender-hearted; forgiving one another; as God also for Christ's sake hath forgiven you.

Be ye therefore followers of God, as beloved children: And walk in love,

as Christ also hath loved us, and given himself for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God of a sweet-smelling savour.

But let not fornication, or any uncleanness, or covetousness be even named among you, as becometh saints:

walk as children of light; (The fruit of the light is in all goodness, and righteousness, and truth:)

not as fools, but as wise men, Redeeming the time, because the days are evil.

Wives, submit yourselves to your own husbands as unto the Lord.

For the husband is head of the wife, as Christ also is head of the church:

(and he is the Saviour of the body) Therefore as the church is subject to Christ, so also let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing.

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

Men ought so to love their wives as their own bodies: he that loveth his wife, loveth himself.

Now no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourisheth and cherisheth it, as also the Lord the church.

But let every one of you in particular so love his wife as himself: and let the wife reverence her husband.

Servants, obey your masters according to the flesh, with fear and trembling, in singleness of heart, as unto the Lord:

Not with eye-service, as men-pleasers, but as servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart,

With good will doing service as unto the Lord, and not to men:

For which I am an ambassador in bonds, that I may speak boldly therein, as I ought to speak.
