All this accords with the loving-kindness which God lavished upon us, accompanied by countless gifts of wisdom and discernment,

The same mighty power was exerted upon the Christ, when he raised the Christ from the dead and 'caused him to sit at his right hand' on high, exalting him above all Angels and Archangels of every rank,

And when, upon the cross, he had destroyed their mutual enmity, he sought by means of his cross to reconcile them both to God, united in one Body.

You have been built up upon the foundation laid by the Apostles and Prophets, Christ Jesus himself being 'the corner- stone.'

This, then, as one in union with the Lord, I say to you and urge upon you: Do not continue to live such purposeless lives as the Gentiles live,

'Be angry, yet do not sin.' Do not let the sun go down upon your anger;

Do not let any one deceive you with specious arguments. Those are the sins that bring down the Wrath of God upon the disobedient.

Pray in spirit at all times. Be intent upon this, with unwearying perseverance and supplication for all Christ's People- -
