do not cease giving thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers,

far above all principality and authority and power and dominion, and every name being named, not only in this world, but also in the coming age.

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

not of works, lest anyone should boast.

which in other ages was not made known to the sons of men, as it is now revealed to His holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit,

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

This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that you should not walk from now on as other nations walk, in the vanity of their mind,

But you have not so learned Christ,

Be angry, and do not sin. Do not let the sun go down upon your wrath,

Let not any filthy word go out of your mouth, but if any is good to building up in respect of need, that it may give grace to the ones hearing.

And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you are sealed until the day of redemption.

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

neither baseness, foolish talking, jesting, which are not becoming, but rather giving of thanks.

Therefore do not be partakers with them.

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

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

And do not be drunk with wine, in which is excess, but be filled with the Spirit,

And fathers, do not provoke 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 do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the world's rulers, of the darkness of this age, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
