To the praise of the glory of his grace, which he freely gave to us in the Loved One:

Which he gave us in full measure in all wisdom and care;

By which he made Christ come back from the dead, and gave him a place at his right hand in heaven,

Even when we were dead through our sins, gave us life together with Christ (by grace you have salvation),

For this reason he says, He went up on high, taking his prisoners with him, and gave freely to men.

And he gave some as Apostles, and some, prophets; and some, preachers of the good news; and some to give care and teaching;

If in fact you gave ear to him, and were given teaching in him, even as what is true is made clear in Jesus:

And be living in love, even as Christ had love for you, and gave himself up for us, an offering to God for a perfume of a sweet smell.

Husbands, have love for your wives, even as Christ had love for the church, and gave himself for it;
