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

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

for by grace have ye 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 unto the Father.

if so be that ye have heard of the dispensation of that grace of God which was given me to you-ward;

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

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

and have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather even reprove them;

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