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:

That in the dispensation of the fullness of times he might collect in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him:

In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will:

That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him:

Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places,

And put all things under his feet, and gave him to be the head over all things to the church,

Which is his body, the fullness of him that filleth all in all.

For through him we both have an access by one Spirit to the Father.

In whom we have boldness and access with confidence by the faith of him,

Now to him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us.

To him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen.

But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, who is the head, even Christ:

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

Let him that stole steal no more: but rather let him labor, working with his hands the thing which is good, that he may have to give to him that needeth.

And, ye masters, do the same things to them, forbearing threatening: knowing that your Master also is in heaven; neither is there respect of persons with him.
