that we should be for a praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ;

which is a pledge of our inheritance for the redemption of the purchased possession, to the praise of his glory.

do not cease to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers,

For by grace are you saved through the faith; and that not of you; [it is] the gift of God;

for we are his creation, created in Christ Jesus for good works, in which God before appointed that we should walk.

but now, in Christ Jesus you who were formerly far off have been made nigh by the blood of Christ.

For he is our peace, who made both one and broke down the middle wall of partition,

And he came and preached the good news of peace to you who were far off, and peace to those nigh,

for through him we both have access by one spirit to the Father.

in which you also are built up together for a spiritual habitation of God.

For this cause I Paul, a prisoner of Jesus Christ for you gentiles,

if indeed you heard of the dispensation of the grace of God given to me for you,

Wherefore I desire you not to faint on account of my afflictions for you, which are your glory.

For this reason I bow my knees to the Father,

To him that is able to do far beyond all that we ask or think, by the power which operates in us,

to him be the glory in the church in Jesus Christ to all generations, for ever and ever; amen.

for the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edification of the body of Christ,

Wherefore, laying aside lying let every one speak the truth to his neighbor, for we are members one of another.

Let no evil word proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good for useful edification, that it may afford benefit to those that hear.

and walk in love, as Christ also loved us and gave himself for us, an offering and sacrifice to God of good odor.

For you know this, that no fornicator, or impure, or covetous person, who is an idolater, has an inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.

Let no man deceive you with vain words; for on account of these comes the wrath of God on the children of disobedience.

For you were formerly darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light,??9 for the fruit of the light is in all goodness and righteousness and truth,??10 proving what is well pleasing to the Lord,

For the things which are done by them in secret it is base even to mention;

but all things proved to be wrong are made manifest by the light; for every thing which makes manifest is light.

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

being subject one to another in the fear of Christ.

for the husband is the head of the wife, as also Christ is the head of the church; he is the savior of the body.

Husbands, love your wives as Christ also loved the church and gave himself for it,

for no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, as Christ also the church;

for we are members of his body.

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

Children, obey your parents in the Lord; for this is right.

Servants, be subject to masters according to the flesh, with fear and trembling, in the sincerity of your hearts as to Christ,

knowing that whatever good each one does, for this he shall receive from the Lord, whether a servant or a freeman.

for our conflict is not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the potentates of the darkness of this world, against the spiritual [hosts] of evil in the heavenly [worlds].

praying with all prayer and supplication on every occasion with the spirit, and watching in the same with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints,

and for me, that a word may be given me at the opening of my mouth boldly to make known the mystery of the gospel,

whom I have sent to you for this purpose, that you may know the things concerning us and that he may comfort your hearts.
