high above all other government and authority and power and dominion, and every title of sovereignty used either in this Age or in the Age to come.

in order that, by His goodness to us in Christ Jesus, He might display in the Ages to come the transcendent riches of His grace.

with that new and better self which has been created to resemble God in the righteousness and holiness which come from the truth.
