Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ:

According as he hath chosen us in him, before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love:

To the praise of the glory of his grace, in which he hath made us accepted in the beloved:

In which he hath abounded towards us in all wisdom and prudence;

Having made known to us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself:

And you hath he revived, who were dead in trespasses and sins;

Even when we were dead in sins, hath made us alive together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;)

And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places, in Christ Jesus:

For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.

For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us;

And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ:

And be ye kind one to another, tender-hearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you.

And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet-smelling savor.

For this ye know, that no lewd, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.
