As he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, for us to be holy and blameless before him in love:

Having determined us beforehand for adoption as a son by Jesus Christ to him, according to benevolence of his will,

For the arrangement of the completion of the times, to unite in a whole all things in Christ, both the things in the heavens, and the things upon earth; in him:

For us to be to the praise of his glory, who before hoped in Christ.

Which is the pledge of our inheritance for the redemption of the acquisition, to the praise of his glory.

For this, I also, having heard the faith among you in the Lord Jesus, and love to all the holy,

Cease not returning thanks for you, making remembrance of you in my prayers;

The eyes of your understanding enlightened; for you to know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the holy ones,

For by grace are ye saved through faith; and this not of you: the gift of God:

For we are his work, created in Christ Jesus to good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.,

And now in Christ Jesus ye who then being far off have become near in the blood of Christ.

For he is our peace, having made both one, and having loosed the middle partition wall of the enclosure;

For by him we both have access in one Spirit to the Father.

In whom also ye are builded together for the dwelling of God in the Spirit.

For this, I Paul, the imprisoned of Christ Jesus for you the nations,

If ye have heard of the distribution of the grace of God given to me for you:

For the nations to be co-heirs, and united in one body, and, participators of his solemn promise in Christ by the good news:

Wherefore I desire not to lose courage in my pressures for you, which is your glory.

For this I bend my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,

For Christ to dwell by faith in your hearts; in love being rendered firm, and the foundation laid,

For the adjusting of the holy, for the work of the service, for the building up of the body of Christ:

For you to put away according to the former mode of life the old man, corrupted according to the eager desires of deceit;

Wherefore falsehood ye having put away, speak the truth each with his neighbor: for ye are members one of another.

And walk ye in love, as also Christ loved us, and gave himself for us a gift and sacrifice to God for a smell of sweet odor.

For this ye are knowing, that every fornicator, or unclean, or covetous person, who is an idolater, has no inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.

Let none lead you astray with vain words: for by these things comes the anger of God upon the sons of disobedience.

For ye were then darkness, and now light in the Lord: walk ye as children of light:

(For the fruit of the Spirit in all goodness and justice and truth.;)

For the things done secretly by them it is also shameful to speak.

And all things refuted, by light are made manifest: for everything made manifest is light.

Making purchase of time, for the days are evil.

For this be not foolish, but understanding what the will of the Lord.

Giving thanks always for all things, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, to God and the Father;

Yielding obedience to one another in the fear of God.

For the husband is the head of the wife, as also Christ the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body.

Husbands, love your own wives, as also Christ loved the church, and delivered himself up for it;

For none at any time hates his own flesh; but brings it up and cherishes it, as also the Lord the church:

For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones.

For this a man shall leave his father and mother, and be joined to his wife, and they two shall be one flesh.

But ye also altogether, let each so love his own wife as himself: and the wife that she fear her husband.

Children, listen to your parents in the Lord: for this is just.

Servants, listen to lords according to the flesh, with fear and tremor, in simplicity of your heart, as to Christ;

Knowing that whatever good each might do, this he shall receive from the Lord, whether a servant or free.

Put on the complete armor of God, for you to be able to stand against the artifices of the accuser.

For the wrestling is not to us against blood and flesh, but against beginnings, against powers, against the chiefs of the world of darkness of this life, against spiritual things of wickedness in heavenly things.

For this take up the complete armor of God, that ye might be able to withstand in the evil day, and having effected all things, to stand.

By all prayer and supplication praying in all time in Spirit, and for this same watching vigilantly in all perseverance and supplication for the holy:

And for me, that the word might be given me, in the opening of my mouth in freedom of speech, to make known the mystery of the good news,

For which I am an ambassador in perplexity: that in it I might speak freely, as I ought to speak.

Whom I sent to you for this same, that ye might know the things concerning us, and he might comfort your hearts.
