Paul, by God's will an apostle of Christ Jesus, to God's people who are steadfast in Christ Jesus;

God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ bless you and give you peace.

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who through Christ has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly realm.

He foreordained us to become his sons through Jesus Christ, in fulfilment of his generous purpose,

This is why I, for my part, since I have heard of the faith in the Lord Jesus that prevails among you and among all God's people,

The God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, grant you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation through the knowledge of himself,

And he raised us with Christ, and through our union with Christ Jesus made us sit down with him in heaven,

to show the incomparable wealth of his mercy throughout the ages to come by his goodness to us through Christ Jesus.

For he has made us, creating us through our union with Christ Jesus for the life of goodness which God had predestined us to live.

But now through your union with Christ Jesus you who were once far away have through the blood of Christ been brought near.

You are built upon the apostles and prophets as your foundation, and Christ Jesus himself is the cornerstone.

This is why I, Paul, whom Jesus the Christ has made a prisoner for the sake of you heathen??2 if at least you have heard how I dealt with the mercy of God that was given me for you,

that through union with Christ Jesus the heathen are fellow-heirs with the Jews, belong to the same body and share the promise with them, through the good news

fulfilling the eternal purpose which God carried out in Christ Jesus our Lord.

be glory through the church and through Christ Jesus through all generations forever and ever. Amen.

at least if you have really become acquainted with him and been instructed in him, and in union with him have been taught the truth as it is found in Jesus.

always give thanks for everything to God our Father, as followers of our Lord Jesus Christ,

God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ give the brothers peace and love, with faith.

God's blessing be with all who have an unfailing love for our Lord Jesus Christ.
