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

In Christ we too have been claimed as God's own possession, since we were predestined according to the one purpose of him who accomplishes all things according to the counsel of his will

I pray that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give you spiritual wisdom and revelation in your growing knowledge of him,

This power he exercised in Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly realms

And God put all things under Christ's feet, and he gave him to the church as head over all things.

Now the church is his body, the fullness of him who fills all in all.

and he raised us up with him and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus,

so that through him we both have access in one Spirit to the Father.

In him the whole building, being joined together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord,

Now to him who by the power that is working within us is able to do far beyond all that we ask or think,

to him be the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen.

From him the whole body grows, fitted and held together through every supporting ligament. As each one does its part, the body grows in love.

if indeed you heard about him and were taught in him, just as the truth is in Jesus.

Masters, treat your slaves the same way, giving up the use of threats, because you know that both you and they have the same master in heaven, and there is no favoritism with him.

I have sent him to you for this very purpose, that you may know our circumstances and that he may encourage your hearts.
