Cease not returning thanks for you, making remembrance of you in my prayers;

Above every beginning, and authority, and power, and property, and every name named, not only in this life, but in that about to be:

For by grace are ye saved through faith; and this not of you: the gift of God:

Not of works, lest any one should boast.

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:

Wherefore I desire not to lose courage in my pressures for you, which is your glory.

And ye have not so learned Christ;

Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your fit of anger:

He stealing let him steal no more: and rather let him be wearied from fatigue, working good with the hands, that he have to impart to him having need.

Let not any foul word go out of your mouth, but if any good to the building of necessity, that it might give grace to them hearing.

And grieve ye not the Holy Spirit of God in which ye were sealed to the day of redemption.

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

And obscenity, and silly discourse, or wit, which things concern not; but rather thankfulness.

Be ye not therefore partakers with them.

And participate not with the unfruitful works of darkness, and rather also confute.

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

For this be not foolish, but understanding what the will of the Lord.

And be not drunk with wine, in which is debauchery; but be filled with the Spirit;

That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing: but that it be holy and blameless.

And, fathers, be not angry with your children: but bring them up in the instruction and reminding of the Lord.

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

With affection serving the Lord, and not men.

And, lords, do ye the same things to them, letting go threatening: knowing that also your own Lord is in the heavens; and distinction of persons is not with him.

For the wrestling is not to us against blood and flesh, but against beginnings, against powers, against the chiefs of the world of darkness of this life, against spiritual things of wickedness in heavenly things.
