Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with every spiritual blessing in heavenly things in Christ;

as he hath elected us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless before him in love:

to the praise of the glory of his grace, whereby he hath made us acceptable in that beloved one;

wherein he hath abounded towards us with all wisdom and intelligence,

the eyes of your understanding being enlightened, that you may know what is the hope to which he hath called you, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance for the saints,

and hath put all things under his feet, and hath appointed him head over all to the church,

AND you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins,

But God, being rich in mercy, through the great love with which he hath loved us,

though we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved,)

and hath raised us up together with him, and made us sit down together in the heavenly regions in Christ Jesus.

for we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, for which God hath before prepared us, that we should walk therein.

For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of separation,

and coming, hath preached peace to you who were afar off, and to those who were nigh:

which in other generations was not made known to the children of men, as it hath been now revealed to his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit;

But to every one of us hath the grace been given, according to the measure of the gift of Christ.

but be ye kind one to another, full of sensibility, forgiving mutually, even as God in Christ hath forgiven you.

and walk in love as Christ also hath loved us, and given himself for us, an oblation and sacrifice to God, for an odour of a sweet smell.

For this ye know, that no whoremonger, or impure person, or avaricious, who is an idolater, hath an inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.
