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

that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give you a spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him;

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

of which I was made a minister by the gracious gift of God, given to me by the operation of his power.

To me, who am the least of all saints, was this grace given, to preach to the nations the unsearchable riches of Christ,

And to each one of us is given grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ.

who being without feeling have given themselves up to lewdness, to commit every impurity with greediness.

neither give place to the devil.

Let him that has stolen steal no more, but rather let him labor, doing that which is good with his hands, that he may have to give to him that needs.

Wherefore he says, Awake you that sleep, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give you light.

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,
