which he made to abound toward us in all wisdom and prudence,

and what is the exceeding greatness of his power toward us who believe, according to that working of the strength of his might

which he worked in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and made him to sit at his right hand in the heavenly places,

You were made alive when you were dead in your transgressions and sins,

even when we were dead through our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved),

and raised us up with him, and made us to sit with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus,

that in the ages to come he might show the exceeding riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus;

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

that he might sanctify it, having cleansed it by the washing of water with the word,

that he might present the church to himself gloriously, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.

Finally, be strong in the Lord, and in the strength of his might.
