which he energised in the Christ, when he raised him from among the dead, and seated him at his right hand in the heavenlies,

For, by his favour, have ye been saved, through means of faith, and this hath come to pass - not from you, of God, the free-gift!

Not from works, lest anyone should boast.

That ye were, in that season, separate from Christ, alienated from the citizenship of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and godless in the world;

And to bring to light - what is the administration of the sacred secret which had been hidden away from the ages in God, who did all things create:

From whom every fatherhood in the heavens and upon the earth is named, -

Being darkened in their understanding, alienated from the life of God - by reason of the ignorance that existeth within them, by reason of their hearts being turned into stone,

All bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and outcry, and profane speaking, let it be taken away from you, with all baseness;

Wherefore it saith - Up! thou sleeper, and arise from among the dead, and the Christ will shine upon thee.

Not by way of eye-service as man-pleasers, but as servants of Christ, doing the will of God, from the soul,

Knowing that, each one, whatsoever he may do that is good, the same, shall he receive back from the Lord, whether bond or free.

Peace unto the brethren, and love with faith, - from God our Father, and Lord Jesus Christ.
