When you heard the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation, and when you believed in Him, you were also sealed with the promised Holy Spirit.

This is why, since I heard about your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all the saints,

I pray that the perception of your mind may be enlightened so you may know what is the hope of His calling, what are the glorious riches of His inheritance among the saints,

you have heard, haven’t you, about the administration of God’s grace that He gave to me for you?

assuming you heard about Him and were taught by Him, because the truth is in Jesus.

But sexual immorality and any impurity or greed should not even be heard of among you, as is proper for saints.

speaking to one another
in psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs,
singing and making music
from your heart to the Lord,

Slaves, obey your human masters with fear and trembling, in the sincerity of your heart, as to Christ.

Don’t work only while being watched, in order to please men, but as slaves of Christ, do God’s will from your heart.
