In whom ye also, having heard the word of the truth, the good-news of your salvation, in whom also having believed, ye were sealed with the Holy Spirit of the promise,

Because of this I also, having heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus, and love for all the sanctified,

having the eyes of your heart enlightened. For you to know what is the hope of his calling, and what is the wealth of the glory of his inheritance in the sanctified.

since indeed ye heard of the administration of the grace of God, which was given to me for you,

darkened in their understanding, alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them, because of the callousness of their heart.

if indeed ye heard him, and were taught in him, as truth is in Jesus,

speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and striking strings in your heart to the Lord,

Bondmen, be obedient to the masters according to flesh, with fear and trembling, in simplicity of your heart as to the Christ.
