You also have heard the message of the truth, the gospel of your salvation, and in him you also by your faith have been stamped with the seal of the long-promised holy Spirit

he made us live together with Christ (it is by grace you have been saved);

For it is by grace you have been saved, as you had faith; it is not your doing but God's gift,

Whereas now, within Christ Jesus, you who once were far away have been brought near by the blood of Christ.

which was not disclosed to the sons of men in other generations as it has now been revealed to his sacred apostles and prophets by the Spirit),

(for it is Christ whom you have been taught, it is in Christ that you have been instructed ??the real Christ who is in Jesus);

putting on the new nature, that divine pattern which has been created in the upright and pious character of the Truth.

And do not vex God's holy Spirit, by whom you have been sealed for the day of redemption.

be kind to each other, be tender-hearted, be generous to each other as God has been generous to you in Christ.
