God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ bless you and give you peace.

so that we might praise the splendid blessing which he has given us through his beloved Son.

He has given us perfect insight into his secret purpose and understanding of it, in following out the design he planned to carry out in Christ,

This is why I, Paul, whom Jesus the Christ has made a prisoner for the sake of you heathen??2 if at least you have heard how I dealt with the mercy of God that was given me for you,

for which I became a worker by virtue of the gift of God's mercy which by the exercise of his power he has given me.

To me, the very least of all his people, this favor has been given, of preaching to the heathen the inexhaustible wealth of the Christ,

But each one of us has been given mercy in Christ's generous measure.

And he has given us some men as apostles, some as prophets, some as missionaries, some as pastors and teachers,

you must not give the devil a chance.

You must give up all bitterness, rage, anger, and loud, abusive talk, and all spite.

always give thanks for everything to God our Father, as followers of our Lord Jesus Christ,

and for me, that when I open my lips I may be given a message, so that I may boldly make known the secret of the good news,

God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ give the brothers peace and love, with faith.
