Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, Who blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ;

according as He chose us in Him before the founding of a world, that we should be holy and without blemish before Him in love;

that we might be to the praise of His glory, we who had before hoped in Christ;

among whom we also all once lived in the desires of our flesh, doing the will of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, even as the rest;

even when we were dead in our offenses, made us alive with Christ (by grace ye have been saved),

For by grace ye have been saved through faith: and this, not of yourselves, it is the gift of God:

Wherefore, remember that ye, the gentiles in flesh, who are called uncircumcision by that which is called circumcision in flesh made by hand,

that by revelation was made known to me the mystery, as I wrote before in brief;

respecting which ye can, by reading, perceive my understanding in the mystery of Christ,

in order that now might be made known to the principalities and authorities in the heavenly places, through the assembly, the manifold wisdom of God,

For this cause I bow my knees to the Father,

that He may grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with power through His Spirit as to the inward man;

may be strong to apprehend, with all the saints, what is the breadth, and length, and height, and depth,

and to know the knowledge-surpassing love of Christ, that ye may be filled unto all the fulness of God.

to Him be the glory in the assembly, and in Christ Jesus, unto all generations of the age of the ages. Amen.

And He gave some to be apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;

that we may no longer be babes, billow-tossed, and carried about with every wind of teaching, in the sleight of men, in the craftiness suited to the artifice of error;

and that ye be renewed in the spirit of your mind,

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

Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamor, and reviling, be put away from you, with all wickedness;

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

for it is a shame even to speak of the things done by them in secret.

But all things, when reproved, are made manifest by the light; for all that makes manifest is light.

For this reason, be not foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is.

And be not drunken with wine, in which is riot, but be filled with the Spirit;

But, as the assembly is subject to Christ, so also let the women be to their husbands in everything.

that He might sanctify it, having cleansed it by the washing of the water in the word,

that He might present to Himself the assembly, glorious, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing, but that it may be holy and without blemish.

For this cause, will a man leave his father and mother, and cleave to his wife, and the two shall be one flesh.

"that it may be well with you, and that you may live long on the earth."

Finally, be strong in the Lord, and in the strength of His might.

Put on the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the Devil;

On this account, take up the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day; and, having fully accomplished all, to stand.

withal having taken up the shield of faith, with which ye will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the evil one.

and on my behalf that utterance may be given to me, in opening my mouth to make known with boldness the mystery of the Gospel,

Peace be to the brethren, and love with faith, from God the Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ.

Grace be with all who love our Lord Jesus Christ in incorruptness.
