and your love to all the saints, 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 world, but also in that which is to come:

For by grace ye are saved, through faith: and this not of yourselves; it is the gift of God: not by works, that no one may boast:

which in other generations was not made known to men, as it is now revealed to his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit; that the Gentiles should be co-heirs,

Wherefore I desire that ye would not be discouraged at my afflictions on your account, which is your glory.

But ye have not so learned Christ;

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

and give not the devil room to ensnare you.

Let him that stole steal no more; but rather let him labour, doing some good with his hands, that he may have something to bestow on him that hath need of it.

And grieve not the holy Spirit of God whereby ye are sealed to the day of redemption.

But fornication, and all uncleanness, or inordinate desire, let it not be even named among you; for so it becometh saints:

nor ribaldry, nor buffoonery, nor wanton jesting, which are not meet: but rather giving of thanks.

Therefore be not partners with them.

See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise men:

Wherefore be not thoughtless, but consider what is the will of the Lord.

And be not drunk with wine, in which there is riotous excess; but be filled with the Spirit:

that He might prepare it for Himself a glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle, or any such thing: but that it should be holy and unblameable.

And ye fathers, do not exasperate your children: but educate them in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.

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

For our conflict is not with flesh and blood only, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the world and of the darkness of this age, against wicked spirits in heavenly places.
