in whom we have our redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace,

For this cause I also, having heard of the faith in the Lord Jesus which is among you, and the love which you have toward all the saints,

even when we were dead through our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved),

for by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God,

For through him we both have our access in one Spirit to the Father.

if it is so that you have heard of the administration of that grace of God which was given me toward you;

in whom we have boldness and access in confidence through our faith in him.

Let him who stole steal no more; but rather let him labor, working with his hands the thing that is good, that he may have something to give to him who has need.

Have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather even reprove them.

whom I have sent to you for this very purpose, that you may know our state, and that he may comfort your hearts.
