Just as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, for us to be holy and unblemished before him in love.

Among whom we also all once behaved in the lusts of our flesh, doing the intentions of the flesh and of the thoughts, and were by nature children of wrath as also the others.

that according to revelation he made known to me the mystery, as I wrote before in brief.

which in other generations was not made known to the sons of men, as it has now been revealed by Spirit to his holy apostles and prophets.

Therefore I ask that ye not become discouraged at my tribulations on your behalf, which is your glory.

Now to him who is able to do above extraordinary--above all things that we ask or think--according to the power that works in us,

one body, and one Spirit. Just as also ye were called in one hope of your calling,

This I say therefore, and solemnly declare in Lord, for you to walk no longer as also the other Gentiles walk, in the vanity of their mind,

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

And become good toward each other, compassionate, forgiving each other, even as also God in Christ forgave us.

Become ye therefore imitators of God, as beloved children.

And walk in love, as also the Christ loved us, and delivered himself up for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for a fragrant aroma.

But fornication, and all uncleanness, or greed, shall not even be named among you as befits the sanctified,

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

Therefore watch carefully how ye walk, not as unwise but as wise,

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

Because a husband is head of the wife, as also Christ is head of the church, and himself the savior of the body.

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

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

So ought the husbands to love their own wives as their own bodies. He who loves his own wife loves himself.

For no man ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as also Christ the church,

Nevertheless ye also, each one in particular, shall so love his own wife as himself, and the wife that she fear her husband.

Bondmen, be obedient to the masters according to flesh, with fear and trembling, in simplicity of your heart as to the Christ.

Not according to eye-service, as men-pleasers, but as bondmen of Christ, doing the will of God from the soul,

bond-serving with goodwill, as to the Lord and not to men.

for which I am an ambassador in bondage, so that in it I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak.
