Cease not to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers;

Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age, but also in that which is to come:

For by grace are you saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:

Not of works, lest any man should boast.

Which in other ages was not made known unto the sons of men, as it is now revealed unto his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit;

Therefore I desire that you faint not at my tribulations for you, which is your glory.

From whom the whole body being fitly joined together and knit together by that which every joint supplies, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, makes increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love.

But you have not so learned Christ;

Be angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath:

And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, by whom you are sealed unto the day of redemption.

But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not be once named among you, as becomes saints;

Neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not fitting: but rather giving of thanks.

Be not therefore partakers with them.

See then that you walk carefully, not as fools, but as wise,

Therefore be not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is.

And be not drunk with wine, in which is excess; 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 should be holy and without blemish.

And, you fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.

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

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

For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in heavenly places.
