In which you were living in the past, after the ways of this present world, doing the pleasure of the lord of the power of the air, the spirit who is now working in those who go against the purpose of God;

For this cause I go down on my knees before the Father,

This I say, then, and give witness in the Lord, that you are to go no longer in the way of the Gentiles whose minds are turned to that which has no profit,

Be angry without doing wrong; let not the sun go down on your wrath;

For this cause will a man go away from his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two will become one flesh.
