in whom also we were made a heritage, having been foreordained according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his will;

in whom ye also, having heard the word of the truth, the gospel of your salvation,-- in whom, having also believed, ye were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise,

For this cause I also, having heard of the faith in the Lord Jesus which is among you, and the love which ye show toward all the saints,

far above all rule, and authority, and power, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come:

among whom we also all once lived in the lust of our flesh, doing the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, even as the rest:--

in whom ye also are builded together for a habitation of God in the Spirit.

There is one body, and one Spirit, even as also ye were called in one hope of your calling;

(Now this, He ascended, what is it but that he also descended into the lower parts of the earth?

He that descended is the same also that ascended far above all the heavens, that he might fill all things.)

This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that ye no longer walk as the Gentiles also walk, in the vanity of their mind,

and be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving each other, even as God also in Christ forgave you.

and walk in love, even as Christ also loved you, and gave himself up for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for an odor of a sweet smell.

For the husband is the head of the wife, and Christ also is the head of the church, being himself the saviour of the body.

But as the church is subject to Christ, so let the wives also be to their husbands in everything.

Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself up for it;

Even so ought husbands also to love their own wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his own wife loveth himself:

for no man ever hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as Christ also the church;

Nevertheless do ye also severally love each one his own wife even as himself; and let the wife'see that she fear her husband.

But that ye also may know my affairs, how I do, Tychicus, the beloved brother and faithful minister in the Lord, shall make known to you all things:
