when he made known to us, I say, that good pleasure which he purposed in himself

and what the surpassing greatness of his might in us who believe, as seen in the energy of that resistless might

even while we were dead in our trespasses, made us live together with Christ (it is by grace you have been saved).

in order that he might show to the ages to come the amazing riches of his grace by his goodness to us in Christ Jesus.

You have heard how by direct revelation the secret truth was made known to me, as I have already briefly written you.

Now unto him who, according to his might that is at work within us, is able to do infinitely more than all we ask or even think,

He who descended is he who ascended above the highest heaven, that he might fill the universe.

It is he who made some men apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers,

and to be made new in the spirit of your mind,

but all these things, when exposed, are by the light made manifest, and what is made manifest is light.

in order that after cleansing her in the bath of baptism, he might sanctify her by his word,

Finally, my brothers, let your hearts be strengthened in the Lord, and in the power of his might.
