In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,

Wherefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus, and love unto all the saints,

If ye have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which is given me to you-ward:

Having the understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart:

If so be that ye have heard him, and have been taught by him, as the truth is in Jesus:

Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord;

Servants, be obedient to them that are your masters according to the flesh, with fear and trembling, in singleness of your heart, as unto Christ;

Not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but as the servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart;
