Grace to you, and peace, from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ,

Which he performed in Christ, having raised him from the dead, and he sat on his right hand in the heavenlies,

That ye were in that time without Christy alienated from the citizenship of Israel, and foreigners from the covenants of solemn promise, having no hope, and without God in the world:

And to enlighten all what the distribution of the mystery, concealed from times immemorial in God, having created all things by Jesus Christ:

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

From whom all the body fitted together and joined together by every touch of the expenditure, according to the energy in measure of one of each part, makes the increase of the body to the building up of itself in love.

Being darkened in understanding, alienated from the life of God by ignorance being in them, by the hardness of their heart;

He stealing let him steal no more: and rather let him be wearied from fatigue, working good with the hands, that he have to impart to him having need.

Let all harshness, and wrath, and anger, and clamor, and slander, be put away from you, with all badness:

Wherefore he says, Awake, who sleeping, and arise from the dead, and Christ will enlighten thee.

Not with eye-service, as menpleasers; but as servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the soul:

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

Peace to the brethren, and love with faith, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
