above all rule, power, and might, and domination, and above all names that are named, not in this world only, but also in the world to come.

And hath put all things under his feet, and hath made him above all things, the head of the congregation:

But God, which is rich in mercy through his great love wherewith he loved us,

But now in Christ Jesus, ye which a while ago were far off, are made nigh by the blood of Christ.

and hath also put away, through his flesh, the cause of hatred - that is to say, the law of commandments contained in the law written - for to make of twain one new man in himself, so making peace.

Now, therefore, ye are no more strangers and foreigners: but citizens with the saints, and of the household of God,

Let there be but one Lord, one faith, one baptism:

That he ascended: what meaneth it, but that he also descended first into the lowest parts of the earth?

But let us follow the truth in love, and in all things grow in him which is the head, that is to say Christ,

But ye have not so learned Christ;

and put on that new man, which after the image of God is shapen in righteousness, and true holiness.

Wherefore, put away lying, and speak every man truth unto his neighbor, forasmuch as we are members one of another.

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

Let him that stole, steal no more; but let him rather labour with his hands some good thing, that he may have to give unto him that needeth.

Let no filthy communication proceed out of your mouths: but that which is good to edify withal, when need is, that it may have favour with the hearers.

Let all bitterness, fierceness and wrath, roaring and cursed speaking, be put away from you, with all maliciousness.

neither filthiness, neither foolish talking, neither jestings, which are not comely: but rather giving of thanks.

Ye were once darkness, but are now light in the Lord. Walk as children of light.

and have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness: but rather rebuke them.

but all things, when they are rebuked of the light, are manifest. For whatsoever is manifest, that same is light.

Take heed therefore that ye walk circumspectly - not as fools, but as wise -

Wherefore, be ye not unwise, but understand what the will of the Lord is.

And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess: but be fulfilled with the spirit,

to make it unto himself a glorious congregation without spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing: but that it should be holy and without blame.

For no man ever yet, hated his own flesh; but nourisheth, and cherisheth it: even as the Lord doth the congregation.

This is a great secret, but I speak between Christ and the congregation.

And ye fathers, move not your children to wrath: but bring them up with the nurture and information of the Lord.

not with service in the eyesight, as men-pleasers: but as the servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart

Put on the armour of God, that ye may stand steadfast against the crafty assaults of the devil.

For we wrestle not against flesh and blood: but against rule, against power, and against worldly rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness for heavenly things.

But that ye may also know that condition I am in, and what I do, Tychicus my dear brother and faithful minister in the Lord, shall show you of all things,
