in which you once walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now works in the children of disobedience;

But now in Christ Jesus you who were once afar off are made near by the blood of Christ.

Now therefore you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints, and of the household of God,

which in other ages was not made known to the sons of men, as it is now revealed to His holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit,

so that now to the rulers and powers in the heavenlies might be known by the church the manifold wisdom of God,

Now to Him who is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us,

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

This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that you should not walk from now on as other nations walk, in the vanity of their mind,

For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord; walk as children of light
